I'm 5' 10 215 lbs and my son is a little bigger so I may need to look at the Borah bivys a little closer. Does the mesh over your head let a lot of heat out? Then again I guess less condensation inside the bivy with the mess and you don't feel like you are in prison.
AK Troutbum, that is a pretty nice setup you have. How long have you had the Tigoat Kestrel bivy? I defiantly like the weight of that bivy verses my OR bivy.
ndboy, I have looked at the borah gear bivy's but like the TI Goat bivy better.
Does anybody have any pics of the TI Goat Bivy? I would like to see some better pictures of there bivy bags then the ones on there website. Also any opinions you might have on bivy bags. I just ordered a Luna 6 and now looking at some bivy bags for me and my son. Thanks
Kevin,
How long is the sod skirt? I haven't seen a picture that show the sod skirt very well. How much does it cost to have a stove jack added to the Cimarron? I stuck trying to decide between the Cimarron or the Luna 5. Thanks for the help in advance.

Not many if any U-haul vans to rent in Fairbanks. They have 1 or 2 pick-ups and very few Box Van trucks but don't get caught taking them up the Dalton highway because they not allowed by company policy. I think there are a couple of places that rent vehicles you can take up the Haul Road but it...
I like the Lowa Sheep Hunters and they last for a long time. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska and just bought me and my son (13 wide) new Lowa Sheep Hunters from Beaver Sports. They have last year models marked down to $299.
SHTF, thanks and I will probably just send them to him for repair. It just sucks since they were just resoled with less then 10 miles on them before both soles started coming off in the back by the heels. They are loose enough that they flap when you are walking. No wonder the guy went out of...
What is the best shoe glue? I had a pair of my Lowa boots resoled and the heels are coming loose and of course the cobbler is not in business anymore. Plus there are no other cobblers in Fairbanks. Thanks in advance.

I would also enjoy seeing some pics. How do you like the Luna 5? I think I'm going to purchase a Luna 4 or 5 myself. Any info would be great. Thanks

Hungarydog,
I am in the same boat as you except I want room for up to 3 people for hunting. I have been doing a lot of research and looking at floorless tents myself. It sucks because about the time you think you know what you want, you find another one and it all starts over again. I think I'm...
I have been using Wiggy's sleeping bag since 2000 and love it. On numerous occasions I have woke up in the morning with the bottom side of my bag wet from it pulling the moisture out. I have been looking for a lighter weight bag to use for sheep hunting but not sure if I want to go with a down...
Rucker61, your Luna looks pretty nice and I think one will suite my needs just fine. I will have to give Bear Paw a call before to long to order one so I can give it a few test run before hunting season. Thanks for everybody's help and pics.

Rucker61, how do you like your Luna 5? I am thinking about buying a Luna 4 or 5 to use sheep hunting. I have done some research on them and have heard really good things and some bad things. One big complaint was stitching and I have noticed in most pics the doors have wrinkles in them. I'm not...
I have been shooting a Tikka T3 Lite SS 300WSM for 10years now and love it. I have drug it all around Alaska. The rifle is super accurate and will shoot one ragged hole with 180 grn bullets if I do my part.
duchntr,
Overall are you happy with your Luna 4? Would you buy from them again? I have read a lot of good stories and bad stories about there quality. Several people have mention stitch work and wrinkles (fabric not smooth and taunt). Like I said I'm new to floorless and don't want to jump in...
