I have one of those Pintlers for sale over on the classifieds. It is the one new with tags. Feel free to contact me directly if you are interested. nine two zero, seven nine one, one four six nine. Crazy nice pack. If I didn't already have two high end packs, I'd be keeping it.
Love the setup weekender7! To piggy bag on his post, ripstopbytheroll is a great place if you or someone in your family can sew. You can make a quilt (which imho is better than a bag) for about $100.
put your meat inside a plastic bag if possible. That material and the webbing will all soak up blood and start stinking. The other option would be to get Pods8 to make you something out of xpac which you could just wipe off.
Jalliston, you don't have to use trekking poles with the Stratospire, and I think you'd like the versatility and layout better than the Scarp. My personal opinion. You DON'T have to set up the Stratospire wtih trekking poles. You can get carbon fiber pole made HERE or get Tarptent's poles...
