I gave 2 smaller youth packs away to fellow Roksliders with kids last winter.
Here is an option if you feel he will be a hunter and outdoorsman…
At 12, my oldest was right around the same size. We bought him a Kuiu Icon 3200 in S/M and adjusted the suspension to fit him. He’s now 6’1”, 190...
@mtwarden you’re a bad ass
My oldest son and I took off about an hour and a half before daylight to call for wolves. I found a really unique, heavy, palmated, Mtn lion killed WT in the headlamp before daylight. Real fresh, neck meat was still good.
We did 7mi, 3170vert and my pack was heavier...
Next time you empty a little bottle of re-wetting eye drops, pull the cap off, dry it, fill it with baby powder, put the cap back on. Now you have a windometer… use it. Cheapest gear tip you’ll get today.

Benchmark workout during a winter storm. Not sure if I proved discipline or boredom.
1000 vertical feet gained from doing Step Ups with a 53lb pack on and staying in Zone 2. Took a little over an hour.
My oldest got a Mtn lion yesterday. Pretty cool, both boys got cats this year.
I shoot the 153gr A-tip out of a 6.5CM. Incredibly accurate and pretty expensive. I built the rifle for deer, but we’ve killed some elk as well. 5 elk and 6 deer… So not a huge sample. I’ve had good performance, but yeah, have heard about inconsistency.
I have had good experience with the...

I figured as much. There’s the rough calculations of 180 minus age then add or subtract a bit based on factors, then the knats ass calculations, then the obvious one… I’ve been listening to too many audiobooks again.
Mid 40s with a little sun is pretty pleasant hiking weather for December in NW...
Did 2100vert in 2.5mi with 20lbs. Basically straight up and straight down 3 separate steep, inclines. The vert took me a couple minutes over 1hr and I was watching my HR closely.
Question for you guys that religiously maintain certain HR zones… what method did you use to identify your specific...

I shopped around for the best price and I’ll order a RRS Ascent 14C tomorrow. I ordered a Leofoto MH-35 w/Handlebar head Friday. Gonna see if that works for an all in one.
Do you guys have a preferred...
I had oral surgery yesterday and spent the evening icing, ingesting my own blood, and eating a couple Oxy. Feeling fine today but was told to take it easy, so I did an easy 700vert hike with about a 15lb daypack.
