Perhaps Energizer?

Sofirn?

hit the search button at the top right and click the "everywhere" button and change it to "this thread" and then type headlamp and it should show you every post that mentions a headlamp

Learn to sew and start making your own modifications and gear…careful though, you may end up with a side gig.

Also, you’ll realize how much everything is marked up within the industry and it’ll make you that much more of a penny pincher.

Oh man. My mother-in-law has pretty nice sewing equipment and did some work for me a while back. Really opened my imagination to what kind of customization I can dream up!

I remember seeing some posts about headlamps in this thread a while ago. Does anyone remember what post or what headlamp it was? They were ~10 bucks and had the red light.

It was the Energizer headlamps.

It was the Energizer headlamps.

I second the energized headlights. Cheap and better than some of the more expensive ones I’ve used

Second this! Wrangler outdoor pants are awesome!

a bunch of this. have 2-3 pairs of pants and 2-3 pairs of shorts i keep in my camping duffle ready to go.
they have some long sleeve tech shirts on amazon that are great as well.

I wear the wrangle shorts every day, best bang for the buck out there in my opinion

 

[Agross]

I wear the shorts and pants daily.

When I read the title, I was going to suggest that exact knife. That thing is a beast. Best $15 I've spent in a long time.

Decathlon has some great (and dirt cheap) backpacking gear. Online only in the US.

I’ve been using their lightweight butane cook set for years. Just as light as a big brand, but cost about $20

Any idea what they weigh? All the other brands seem a good bit heavier than skinners, but I have a hard time paying 70$ for grippy socks

I bought one a couple of years ago and have used it a fair bit since then. Pleased so far and tiny even when compared to my pocket rocket.

Their puffy constantly gets mentioned as being better or same as all the big companies for a fraction of the price

Just used this saw to skull cap some caribou as well as cut off the ribs, and cut firewood for 10 days. Saw worked well and is extremely lightweight.

Knorr pasta meals. Add a bit of powdered milk and you have a poor man's mountain house for 1/3 of the price.
