I largely agree. If my tests are to pan out (sounds like from folks’ experience was on here that they will not). My idea was to use this supplementally, under the right circumstances for my “this may turn into an overnighter type kit”. As I mentioned in my post, weight savings I agree will be...
Doing too many squats and not enough burpees, so I’m a little thiccer these days. My 32 waist pants have been a little tight, so I’m looking to add some larger options to the roster.
Prefer the tan/brown tones and the gray tones, but send me what you have, and we can see if we can make a deal!
Looking for a high quality 3 person tent (2P might work if it has generous dimensions), in good condition for me and my wife. It needs to be a floored shelter. I am open to single wall options. Something sub 4-5 pounds would be ideal. Open to options, but I need something that is minimum 50...
I am thinking about trying to sleep in a Stone Glacier Grumman suit, I already have the jacket and am waiting for a deal on the pants. The jacket is wicked warm, and I am sure the pants are the same.
A long time ago, I saw one of the Stone Glacier dudes post something about sleeping in his...
I have a heavily used (but fully functional) Small xcurve waist belt that I would like to trade for a medium. PM if your pack needs to shrink, because mine needs more room to accommodate my additional booty meat.
A piece of gear that I have put through the paces recently that has performed less than perfect for me, is the Outdoor Research Crocodile Gaiters.
Is the fabric durable, yes. Is it waterproof, yes. Is it tear resistant, yes.
My primary, maybe petty complaint is that they sag down and bunch up...
Let’s face it, we have all been sucked into the hype surrounding a product, only to be disappointed about performance in the field. Nonetheless, failures in performance, function, and durability can become a big issue fast in our pursuit, and they are good to know about. Especially in an...
Last summer I picked up a Patagonia tropic comfort hoody for around town and casual hikes. Long story short, I love almost everything about it. The fit is perfectly relaxed to allow a ton of air flow, function is amazing, and the fabric and overall quality are both perfect. It literally feels...
Pardon me if there is already a thread addressing this...
Looking at new ways to lighten my pack. I have always packed my gun around with a Harris bipod on the front, but I’m thinking about ditching it (when backpacking) and getting set up to shoot off of my tripod, since I am carrying the...
I have an older version of the Kenai jacket and bought the new Kenai pants when they came out last summer. I enjoy my kenai jacket down to about 20F, and the pants were marketed to be warmer than previous kenai.I was hoping for a garment that had at or near the amount of warmth that my Grumman...
I carry a fairly generous hank of lite outdoors or Larson reflective guyline in the 2mm(ish) diameter for everything around camp (hanging food, clothes, odds and ends). I also have this line attached as guyline for all my shelters. It’s lightweight, strong, has a good bite for knots, but stiff...
I know this is supposed to be “2 pants”, but I’m gonna say 3 for the ideal setup. I hunt mostly in central Idaho.
Early: Prana Stretch Zion
Mid: KUIU Attack (with good rain gear, gaiters, long johns, and puffy pants, I could use these pretty much year round)
Late: KUIU Axis Hybrid
To a lot of folks, common sense would dictate skipping the mountain hunting altogether, since it also “weakens your body”.
You came onto a post about electric backpacking air pumps, to come contribute a worthless virtue signaling comment on how much more serious of a backpacker you are then me...
I am 5’10” and I run a Western Mountaineering Astralite in the long size which is cut as a wide as well.
In terms of the length, I run long on all my sleeping bags and pads, because I tend to sleep on my stomach a lot, so I need the extra length to accommodate the extra length of my feet since...
