    Sold Seek outside pack

    Looks like a breakaway version of my Brooks pack - I believe they called it the saker. And they call it a 7400 cuin. I love my Brooks, super sized but makes an awesome day pack with just the wings used!

    Best Hands Free Rifle Carrier, By Jake Lamphier

    I have the Kifaru on my SO pack; I have loved it compared to sling over the shoulder, but sometimes the grippy bucket doesnt let go of the butt stock padding. I also have noticed the issue on steep assents - both of tangling in brush or hitting dirt, but also having the muzzle blaze a partner...

    WTS First lite items !!

    would the ridgeline be a more breathable & quieter brush protection layer than a corrugate? Or is it more slick like a patagonia hoodini and not a great choice for protecting wool base layer in brush? Corrugate doesnt breath enough for me if I am working at all / climbing..

    Colorado fall bear feed sources

    well water isnt an issue this year in that area, just about every drainage had enough water flow for me to filter from if needed. I guess just sit that raspberry area (had rose hips too) and eventually something will show up.. not really glassable and stalking very far would be hard with so much...

    Colorado fall bear feed sources

    Well I just got back from opening weekend with OTC elk and archery bear (wider summit county zone if that matters - not much oak brush that I know of). Oddly, the mountain side covered in mostly ripe raspberries where I got my first bear I couldnt find one bear sign (or elk either) - cant...

    Colorado bear hunt

    good point about watching long enough to be sure it isnt a sow with cubs! My archery bear in the raspberries it took almost 10 minutes inside 30 yards to line up the broadside shot, so was pretty sure it was alone (and had already told myself it was a cool experience even if it got away). And...

    Colorado bear hunt

    I will second that colorado fall bear is delicious (like concentrated beaf flavor with a pork fat cap) and the fat is awesome to cook with. I lucked into one eating the same berries as me while OTC archery elk hunting and then my second was a random talk with a guy running cattle when he said he...

    Seek Outside Wingspan Pockets (UPDATED 11/13/2022) Modularity With Goshawk/Merlin Testing and Review

    nice, I like the camp in a pocket option with the dst! That dcf cimarron would be sweet! I have the regular one but not super light once all set up and the sil sag gets old... dcf would fix both but put a hole in my wallet.... ;P

    WTS First Lite Clothing - XL

    Congrats on loosing the weight - I am trending the opposite direction) -- is the only issue with obsidians the small hole and sap on them (looks like on the wool)? Also, are they conifer or dry earth? The wick short sleeve conifer looks very different on that carpet than the pants but the dry...

    Seek Outside Wingspan Pockets (UPDATED 11/13/2022) Modularity With Goshawk/Merlin Testing and Review

    curious, when do you think you would use the merlin + 2wingspans + lid instead of the lighter and simpler goshawk 4800 bag? seems all the parts and zippers give organization but have to undo multiple straps to get to stuff vs the zipper on the goshawk... I do like adding wingspan or merlin to...

    Seek Outside Wingspan Pockets (UPDATED 11/13/2022) Modularity With Goshawk/Merlin Testing and Review

    thanks for your review, really interesting. I too was confused by SO not continuing the brooks - I love that pack configuration as my dad pack mule on the way in and then day pack exploring from camp, even hunted with it. the new stand alone side pocket option could be a neat add on for the 4800...

    Seek Outside Peregrine Vs Kifaru Stryker xl

    I would second the pack fit being most important. If you have a SO already and can get frame extensions try loading your current pack up heavy - just use some bulk under it and/or tighten lowest compression straps before adding sand bags to keep the weight up off the bottom of the packbag...

    Questions for the sewing Gurus

    Dang, I wish I had your luck with people giving away old metal sewing machines! I guess I dont know the right people! :) If you are in the Denver area and more people want you to take their old singer or juki look me up! My old machine is all metal, but still bogs down sometimes and I might to...

    Questions for the sewing Gurus

    dang, a singer 15-90 for $50? Huge score! All of them around here are $200+... I got a 50's/60's Japanese made clone for $60... its working OK, but not as cool as the old black Singer. Each machine I have tried I have had to start with thinner threads like Tera 80 and then work thicker to find...
