    WTB WTB Seek Outside 4800/6300 Backpack

    Looking for a Seek Outside pack, open to a few different comparable models such as Unaweep or Divide. Most interested in the Unaweep 4800 without zipper. Would like a medium hipbelt (29-33"), but if you have a different size I can get a replacement from Seek Outside. Not actually planning to use...

    Lightweight Packrafts

    The Alpacka Refuge is a great boat that is essentially a whitewater scout. I have enjoyed mine.

    How does everyone pack there Leuko tape?

    This is quite important. If you wrap it around a pen or the other options listed it loses a lot of stick and is a total mess to try to get clean flat pieces for fixing feet.

    Lightest dry bag?

    I would not trust most of the dyneema drybags on the market to fully waterproof your gear in a river scenario. These are really just designed for rain protection inside a backpack. I'd line the inside of the backpack in multiple Nylofume or trash compactor bags with the ends tied shut, with...

    Rapid Raft or regular Packraft for creek crossing...

    I have a Klymit LWD that I use for paddling class 1 maybe class 2 water. If you have time and can find a decently calm/wide/not rocky spot to ferry I think it is possible to do it safely. If the creek is seriously moving with obstacles in the water I'd take a real boat.

    Ultralight paddles - packraft

    Whiskey is going to be close to the lightest "real" paddle you can get, but my understanding is that the blades are pretty fragile and can chip on rocks.

    BD's new "lightest down hoody in the world"

    I don't see much of a use case for a down jacket with so little insulation. Very little versatility.

    Dyneema/DCF Tarps

    This design makes a lot of sense to me. Very spacious compared to other DCF full coverage shelters.

    Who has ditched the trusted Nalgene bottle?

    I really like the CNOC wide opening bladders in 2 or 3L. Makes for fast water scoping and can easily be rigged as a gravity filter. Very durable.

    Lightweight solar panels?

    I have a hard time believing this, especially for such an old panel. Would like to see the specs on this.

    Lightest waterproof rain coat?

    The lightest cheapest option that is not at very durable is Frog Toggs. Jacket is under 5oz. Great if not bushwhacking heavily.

    Packrafting River Selection

    You can float incredibly thin water in a packraft with a normal load of backpacking gear (6"). The same does not apply with a heavy load of meat. Rafts with larger tubes and greater buoyancy are your friend. Spreading out the weight across the interior and exterior of the raft plays a huge role.

    Lightweight solar panels?

    A solar panel is never going to compete with a lithium ion battery. Even the best panels are shockingly inefficient and almost useless outside of direct full sun covering the entire surface of the panel at the correct angle.
