    Quilts

    Warbonnet Outdoors has the best combination of quality, features, weight, and price IMO. I spec’d out quilts from El Coyote, Hammock Gear, EE, UGQ, and probably a couple others. None of them were as good as Warbonnet. I live in WA and use quilts year round. I went with a 20 degree quilt for 3...

    Best affordable zero degree bag for side sleeper?

    Underquilts are for hammocks. If you have a properly rated ground pad, you don’t need other insulation under you. With sleeping bags, the insulation is compressed and doesn’t offer as much warmth. The biggest thing with quilts in cold weather is to make sure drafts are sealed out. Pad attachment...

    Rifle carrier for Seek Outside pack

    it looks like with the gun bearer the rifle is in the way of your arm. Seems like that would get annoying after a while. Maybe it’s not though.

    Looking for a new sleeping bag

    I use the 20 degree down quilt and a 50 degree synthetic quilt to layer over the top. Gets me down to zero but with two quilts you have some flexibility throughout the year. The other good thing about a synthetic quilt on top is moisture will rise through the down and collect on the synthetic...

    Rifle carrier for Seek Outside pack

    For those running Seek Outside packs, what are you using for a rifle carrier? I was looking at the Kifaru Gun Bearer or maybe trying to rig up the Exo K4 quick release. Any other options?

    What is your favorite backpacking pillow?

    - I’ve tried the Sierra Designs Animas, Nemo Fillo, Trekology, and S2S Aeros premium. - I sleep all over the place: stomach, back, and side. - I’m currently using the S2S Aeros premium. It’s comfortable, lightweight, and has enough height for side sleeping. The Nemo Fillo was probably the most...

    Sleeping pad recommendations

    Nemo Tensor insulated long wide or Sea to Summit Ether Lite XT women’s, it’s warmer than the men’s and maybe lighter. Both plenty big and comfortable for me at 6’3 240, side and stomach sleeper.

    Best affordable zero degree bag for side sleeper?

    I recommend trying a quilt. They are so much more comfortable than a sleeping bag. I use a Warbonnet Outdoors 20 degree with all the extra features, no overfill. It weighs about 26oz and was $365 w/tax and shipping. I’m going to make a 50 degree synthetic quilt to layer over the top to get down...

    Looking for a new sleeping bag

    If you want to try quilts look into Warbonnet Outdoors. For the features, weight, and price I don’t think you can beat it. I have a 20 degree I switched to after using sleeping bags forever and I’ll never go back.

    Most comfortable sleeping pad

    I like the Nemo tensor insulated (long-wide) for just about everything. I’m 6’3” 240 and sleep great on it. Stomach and side sleeper.

    Bino Harness- what are you taking?

    I run the Badlands XR and like it a lot. Binos and range finder in the flip pouches. One zipper pocket holds speed reloads for the muzzleloader, the other side wind indicator, lens pen, etc… The back pouch I can fit my phone or a pistol.

    What gear are you looking to buy before this fall?

    - Tract Toric 8x42 binos - Kifaru Gun Bearer or some other rifle carry for my SO pack - Z Flick tent poles, so I can take my trekking poles with me

    Who Uses Walking Sticks for Hunting?

    I use the Cascade Mountain Tech from Costco and they are a game changer. Uphill, downhill, water crossings, blowdowns, they’re useful pretty much everywhere. I have several hundred miles on them and no complaints. The tips wore out but that’s an easy replacement. Skurka has a long term review...
