    Is a hot tent needed for second season rifle Colorado?

    I'll be running the tent and stove in second season, no shame even if it's not needed. I absolutely see it as a worthy trade-off for the weight and size. Doing a solo trip so I use it more as a morale booster but also if we have a cold snap like 2023, the stove will be almost a necessity...and...

    I live just south of Boulder so I might be a little biased but I think basing out of Boulder or up the Canyon in Nederland is the most ideal since you can literally go in any direction with pretty good ease, endless food options, The flatirons and easy but awesome hiking should you want a low...

    Bullet sleeve

    The FHF would fit well in your pocket if you took off the straps. holds 3 rounds of 30cal mag no issue. Talking like a cargo pocket or a side cargo pocket. I think any rounds in a front or rear traditional pocket no matter the case is going to feel bulky...IMO

    Kuiu Axis Hybrid jacket or first lite uncompahgre foundry jacket

    I personally think the jackets are in two different categories and you're looking for something that's going to cover kinda warm to pretty cold...I don't think either do that too well. The Foundry jacket is probably the best piece of kit from FL that I own. I've had some durability issues with...
