    Anyone try these?

    my thoughts on the discomfort from being supported by the shoulder is that the load is distributed because the fabric is very wide. I was not trying to say this is a perfect product but it seemed like it might work. I still think I am going to try it out as I am curious. Thanks for the input...

    Anyone try these?

    I came across packoutbags.com while looking for alternative to hauling meat behind you in a backpack. These look to me like they would distribute the weight and allow you to walk upright. I am interested if they are comfortable. Anyone ever try these? Thanks.

    My marriage is falling apart

    I was a soldier as well and have gone through your exact scenario. I am going to tell it like it is and you may need to hear this: 1) she has already checked out. You will never bring her back and make the relationship what you want it to be. 2) Your kids will be better off having two happy...

    Bivy and Sleepinng bag liners?

    I did exactly what you just said. I lined a SOL bivy sack with a Reactor extreme liner from sea to summit and ended up staying dressed in my pants and jacket all night long to stay warm. It was not worth the weight I saved. I regretted it completely. I had a pad as well. It only got down to...

    Weight Reduction Advise

    I have never been lost so I dont see the need for either one unless marking wallows and water points. The only time I have used either one is to find short cuts. I see the benefit it both but I only carry the gps with extra batteries.

    I have shot trad archery for a while and know that recurves are more efficient than trad longbows excluding reflex/deflex.
