    Clothing - elk newbie

    There’s some great threads on building a layering system. Dig around and you’ll find some basic information on a 4 piece upper/ lower system that many experienced people go with. I’ve been very happy with a merino base layer, grid fleece hoodie, down puffy jacket, and a rain shell. Softshells...

    Luxe Gear Hexpeak XL Real Weight

    I weighed my winter Hexpeak XL and it came out to 3lbs 0.8 oz on the scale. I'm disappointed at the inaccurate advertising on the website as well. I assume when they advertise the weight of the canopy, they mean the whole thing. But based on the measured weights, my guess is they mean the canopy...

    Sold Sitka Heavyweight Thermal Bottoms Large

    Any 2 mile runners here

    That boy sounds like a killer. Weighted barbell squats with great technique are going to develop the speed and power he needs to up his max average speed.

    10+ Mile Days

    It’s all going to come down to your fitness levels. Some guys run 10+ miles a day, some of us (me) can’t run 2. Sure you can smash your body with a 10+ mile day, but then you’re going to be sleeping in, sore, and limited the next few days if your fitness levels aren’t up there. It’s likely going...

    New Boot Questions

    Get them wet, scrub with a soft bristle brush. Once the leather is saturated with water, pat them dry with a towel. They should still be moist, but not soaking wet. That’s the time to coat them with a good layer of snowseal. The moisture opens up the pores and folds of the leather material...
