    Thanks for the write up! Alaska is a special place no doubt... I've been fortunate to spend a good deal of quality time up there but it seems like it's never enough... Thanks for sharing!

    Help Me Pick a Big Guy Bag

    I would say if its working out for you, that's awesome.... Washing most down bags will make the filling "clumpy" and the bags will lose their loft. I have ruined one on my own and had the dry cleaner wreck another for me. Some manufactures have cleaning instructions they recommend. For...

    Kodiak Island August or November?

    I have used an Artic Oven, Cabelas guide model Dome several times and a Kifaru Tipi once.... with the tipi, everything got wet and couldn't get it dried out, condensation was coming from the ground. I will NEVER use a floorless in AK again... If it works for someone else, great, that's just my...

    Kodiak Island August or November?

    This is just me, but there is no way in hell I would pack a floorless shelter unless it was just for a gear tent..... been there and made that mistake. I'll be there in November myself.

    Best way to filter river water?

    I do a lot of floating and the best way hands down is the gravity filter... I love my sawyer but in the raft space/weight isn't as big an issue.

    Help Me Pick a Big Guy Bag

    They aren't internal moisture issues... they are external.... you just can't get away from the wet. And to answer the questions.... yep sleep in merino have used a bag liner and do a lot.... I love down, but I am convinced there are certain environments that it just doesn't belong and staying in...

    Rear rest in the field...

    I use my pack in the front and my puffy coat (in a bag) in the back or whatever combination of both along with my poles.... Good for you for spending that much time working with the kid... lot's of people don't and that hurts their confidence in the field.

    Help Me Pick a Big Guy Bag

    To be honest I am tired of looking and reading reviews... I am 6'5", 250#, like/need a lot of room, fairly lightweight and will be used for backpacking occasionally. Wanting synthetic or some type of dry-down as it will be used in AK and other wetter areas. Probably a 0*-15* bag.... Right...
