    Should I buy a longer bag to keep water bottles in when it's below freezing?

    Hi all; I'm 5' 10". 185 lbs. I have two brand new, tags still on WM bags - Alpinlite 6' - Antelope 6' 6" I realize the bags are different temp ratings. I bought them to see which length would be best. I have a seven day return window on them. Antelope 6' 6" A perfect fit lengthwise. My...

    Low Volume Boots: what brand/model do you like and why?

    Have found AKU Jager and Schwer 14 fit my low volume 10's like gloves. Tried Zamberlan (model name forgotten, but heavy backpacking style boot) at local REI and they fit well everywhere except too wide in forefoot (ball of foot). So I'm looking for an insulated boot of at least 400 grams...

    When did SO stop offering OD and Coyote pack colors?

    Two or three years ago I was waffling on buying a SO Gila or Divide in OD or Coyote color fabric. When I was done procrastinating, lo and behold, SO had stopped offering those colors. Can anyone tell me why?

    Snoozing an' losing

    When I decided to buy a DCF Cimarron, SO stopped making them. When I decided to buy an olive colored SO Gila, they stopped offering colors. The world changes too fast!

    WTB Seek Outside Cimarron DCF

    In very good to excellent condition; no abrasions, rips, etc. Thanks. When SO stopped making these, I called SO to ask why. They said they couldn't get the DCF. Yet at the same time other tent makers were using DCF. And DCF is now widely available. Wish SO would start making DCF Cim's...

    Seating space in LBO/Vestibule w/stove?

    This is for solo use. I'm 5' 10". 185 lbs. I like to sit by the stove before I turn in for the night. I use an REI Flexlite chair in my Kif 6 man. Would use my Helix Ground Chair (seat about 6" above ground) in LBO/Vestibule/Med U Turn combo. Is there enough room in the LBO/Vestibule/Med U...

    European Union to issue "Green Pass" to those vaccinated, restrict those not vaccinated....

    This site has solid facts but presents them in a sensationalized manner. Even so, they report what most other news sites won't report. This development surely lays the foundation for what the Bible says will be the mark of "The beast"; which is a governmental system...

    WTB Kifaru Packlock stuff...

    After all this time, I wonder if the insulation is all packed out. If I could find these with still good insulation, not all packed/smooshed, I'd be interested. I'm thinking L or XL. I'm 5'9", 185, 47" chest. Parka w/hood. Also interested in vest/sleeve combo. Thanks all.

    Condensation in heated shelters that don't use liner....?

    I use a liner in my Kifaru tipi. Have near zero issues with condensation. Looking to downsize. Probably to SO because Kifaru isn't sure when they'll start making the Tut again. Toss up between LBO/Vest and Cimarron right now. Only the Cim has liner. How much condensation do the liner-less...

    Can anyone post pics of them sitting inside SO Cimarron and/or LBO with vestibule?

    Looking to see which has steeper walls. Steeper walls = more sitting space farther away from stove without your head smooshing into side walls. My 6 man Kifaru requires careful staking to keep sidewalls as steep as possible. If tipi stretched too tight when staked, sidewalls meet ground with...
