    Sitka Gear Ascent Pant & Core Lightweight Hoody Review, by Josh Boyd

    Yet another well-worded review Josh! I can attest to the durability of the Core Hoody as well. It was my base layer on a grueling summer backpacking trip in NW Montana where we covered over 60 miles in 4 days of intense bushwacking and scrambling. On multiple occasions over the course of...

    How much lighter can my cook kit get?

    SUL Windscreen for BRS-3000T Canister Stove - Backpacking Light Diy windscreen for the brs. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk I've used the BRS off and on for a couple years now and while it's light and small and hasn't really failed me yet, I have a hard time trusting it for longer...

    Seek Outside vs Exo Mountain Gear

    I also hang my bladder between the frame and the bag. It's nice in cold weather because body heat keeps the water from getting too cold. I also have carried it between the bag and the talon but when a 3 L is full and that far from my back, it's less comfortable.

    Seek Outside vs Exo Mountain Gear

    I've been using the SO since 2014 and just recently bought a lumbar pad to try it out. I have a curved back and found the lumbar pad to be really nice until the load got over about 50 lbs. It seems like the thick, soft foam of the lumbar pad allows the belt to sag a little under more weight...

    28" frame

    I personally don't think 28" is overkill for packing heavy loads and I'm only 5' 10" I run the Seek Outside pack in base height (24 inches) 99% of the time then add the extensions when I kill something. It works great for me. I don't think I'd like hunting with a 28 inch frame but I'm not tall.

    Scarpa Charmoz Pro Gtx 43.5

    The length of the Scarpa 43.5 is right for me; the toe box of this boot is just too narrow for my foot. I've not tried the Solomons.

    Seek lil bug out w/vestibule Q's

    I have set it up both ways in my yard but have only camped in the base+vestibule. I think base+base would alleviate any perception of being cramped in the base+vestibule configuration. The base+vestibule has enough room for two guys, stove and gear but really no room to spare. With the...

    Seek lil bug out w/vestibule Q's

    I had the stove jack put in the base instead of the vestibule so I could run a base+base configuration with the stove for more space, but so far I haven't really needed it.

    Seek lil bug out w/vestibule Q's

    I've used mine several times with two guys and a small stove. My stove is small, 12"x8"x5". There's enough room for 2 guys, 2 backpacks, 2 bows and some firewood. Spent about 36 hours in it one time riding out a storm. The double doors make it manageable to have two guys and gear because each...

    Help me pick out a Sitka jacket

    Ive had a difficult time fitting the JS into my system. I've settled on a capeline/merino base layer, thermal fleece/merino mid layer, puffy and a waterproof/breathable shell. I need at least those four layers on pretty much any given hunt. The JS, although a really nice jacket, is somewhat...
