I swore off Tyvek for the same reason; I absolutely hated sliding around on it. I went with an UL Borah Gear bivy and its MUCH better. It's a tad lighter, it protects my quilt better, additional moisture protection, and the face is vented. I do still slip a little but not nearly as bad. I'm...
I went to see all the hunting personalities.
Chris Brackett was there but got in trouble. Apparently he was at a couple different booths, but only paid for one...
I ran into him and asked for his autograph, but turned him away when he said it'd cost me 2 bucks.
+4 for Lite Outdoors. Brennan is awesome to work with and the stove works great. I'm about to order some of the updated springloaded rods to simplify assembly. After that, it should be about perfect.
Don't rule out Pulsar. I run of their thermal scopes (which is actually a handheld monocular) and it's pretty legit. I've been eyeballing one of their new Trail thermal sights (which is actually a rifle scope...), but the $5k pricetag has me hedging on it a bit.
I recall this being discussed before. It has to do with the fact that most high end shelters come from smaller companies. The shit you get from Wal-Mart (China) is mass produced and seam taped. The seam sealing process takes a lot of room and time that most smaller companies just don't have...
Yup. I run my ST with a Lite Outdoors stove and it works great. Do I have a ton of room? No, but if you organize it well enough, it is very usable. I can't stand up in it or walk around with my morning coffee, but then again, that isn't why I bought it.
Our savior:
If he's so proud of it and confident he did the right thing, then I wonder why he took down the original images shortly after it happened?
Saw this show up on my IG feed and thought Rokslide might be amused.
I can't remember the exact model I own, but it's a Zebralight, in neutral white, 18650 battery, flood pattern. I originally got the flood pattern thinking I won't have any use for a throw light in a headlamp, but that turned out not to be the case. While I am super impressed with what I got...
I run the Delorme InReach (yellow one). I like it for the piece of mind, however, it did let me down on my most recent trip to Colorado. I leave it plugged into a power source on the drive out (~24hr) and have it set to track every 10min. It worked flawless for the trip out and for the first...
