    Just received my Exo today in Foliage. The color is perfect and first impressions of the pack are good. Glad I pulled the trigger on this and its well worth the wait.

    Mystery Ranch A7000 the works pack

    Never heard of that pack... Most on here will agree that MR builds very tough packs. Meaning you would have no issues if you tossed it off a hill for some reason. I personally have not used an MR pack so I cannot say if that one or any other MR pack is good or not.

    High Caliber Gear Chief Flatbed, anyone use one?

    Here is a link http://www.highcalibergear.com/site/granite-tactical-gear-chief-flatbed-with-reversible-flap.html It doesn't look like the pack has much for load lifters. With a price of over 500 bucks, I think I would go another route (if it were me).

    exo mountain pack

    Didnt Stone Glacier start making packs only a few years ago? For me price was a big factor in going towards the Exo rather than a Stone Glacier or Kifaru. Some of the other factors were that I wanted more color options than SG had to offer and I liked the layout of the Exo over Kifaru. Past...

    Trekking poles advice

    I recently purchased a set of cascade mountain tech trekking poles from costco and have liked them so far. They weigh 1lbs together and extend up to something like 5'4". I'm sure there are better ones out there like Black Diamond, but I oculdn't pass up the 29.00 price tag for light weight...

    Does Exo Mountain Frame BARREL??

    I dont think the pack does, but you be the judge for yourself. This video shows Steve loading up and holding 250lbs with the pack. He twists and turns some. http://vimeo.com/90432438

    Wife wants me to get a Sat Phone

    Without reading the entire thread... If you have an iPhone, you can use the iPhone SatSleeve (a case that makes the phone a sat phone) http://www.thuraya.com/SatSleeve

    Sleeping Bag Research - Help Please!

    Glad to hear that you like yours. What kind of temps have you taken it down to? Also, do you sleep cold or hot? I know the Cal 13 has a draft collar... is it just not substantial enough to really do the job?

    Sleeping Bag Research - Help Please!

    Thanks for the help everyone! I just ordered a bag from STP. The bag is a Sierra Designs Cal 13 800 fill Goose DriDown. It seems like it will fit my needs and weights 1lbs 12oz. The best part? I got it for $226.00 with a 40% off code. Not too bad since the bag retailed for 575.00...

    What water purification/filtration are you using for mountain hunting?

    After reading many reviews and with weight as a concern, I have picked up a Sawyer Squeeze. You just cant beat 3oz and the idea of never replacing the filter is awesome!

    Sleeping Bag Research - Help Please!

    A sack full of pine needles is a good idea! Thanks! I cant see myself spending the 7-800 dollars on a really nice goose down bag even though they compact down to next to nothing. I'd rather have a slightly larger bag and not have to worry about getting it too wet. Thanks for all the help!

    Sleeping Bag Research - Help Please!

    Your not off base. My concern is that I will be sleeping and some rain come in with the tarp faced the wrong direction and wake up with a wet bag and not be able to regain warmth. I am curious as to how others keep their bag dry when using a its wet out and without the protection of a tent.

    Sleeping Bag Research - Help Please!

    I would rather not have a quilt because at times, I am sleeping on the ground without a pad. Also I have looked at WM but they are down and not a dry down. I would prefer a dry down or a synthetic so I dont have to worry about it getting wet. Thanks for the help! I really wish I could find...
