    warmest lightest non-mummy sleeping bag

    Yes I understood how you meant it. The pillow is kidney shaped though, so not sure of the contact patch between its lower edge and that of the top of the klymit pad.

    warmest lightest non-mummy sleeping bag

    Good idea. I'm trying the outdoor vitals pillows this year so will see how they mate to the pad shape.

    warmest lightest non-mummy sleeping bag

    I have an Enlightened Equipment Revelation quilt. I've rigged mine to pull double duty as a traditional quilt and as a hammock underquilt. When used as a standard quilt, there are a few features that help keep you covered at night. There are straps that go around and below the sleeping pad, a...

    warmest lightest non-mummy sleeping bag

    Contrarian point: have you considered an air pad and a down quilt instead of a bag?

    What is your favorite hunting dog and why ?

    My sample size is only 1 hunting dog thus far, but this here Pudelpointer, Jethro, does it for me. Great nose, great drive, great chill-at-home with the family and kids mode. He hunts fairly close in the pheasant fields and holds points well. Sits extremely well when decoy hunting waterfowl or...

It does lack an external water bottle pocket though as it is...

    Grilled duck

    The key to tasty waterfowl is not to cook it any further than the OP did right there. Nicely done.

    Spring Turkey

    This will be only my third season hunting turkeys. I started hunting spring gobblers because the mild weather makes a good time to get my youngster (now 7) out hunting without worrying about him being cold. We use a blind and I give him the box yelper so he gets to help call in the birds. He...

    Hammock vs Floorless tent

    Not a pro by any means, but, IMO: Hammock pros: - uneven, rocky, muddy ground is no concern as long as there are trees to hang from - 10x10 tarp would give great cover for the hammock plus storage space for gear out of the weather. - hammock tarp can be propped up during the day for...
