Stone Glacier Travel Series

[idig4au]

Kind of looks like an over priced computer bag with a fan boi logo. Not feeling the love for it.

It might pair well and be a good accessory for the over priced Kuiu travel pants though

Just missing some chukka boots from Sitka

Seems to me like they have been coming out with more of this type of stuff. Last year was some lifestyle shirts and pants.

Hunting is a seasonal revenue stream. I worked with a recognizable hunting brand on the digital marketing side and the site traffic and subsequent conversions were remarkably different during the off season.

Take a company such as SG:
1. develop your loyal customers base.
2. Sell this loyal customer base non hunting specific items (such as computer bags) that they use anyway and rather have from a hunting brand than a travel brand.

I’ve had the same commuter bag for ~25 years. If I were to replace it, I’d consider going with a SG vs. Timbuktu or similar. Why? Because, as a hunter, I like the SG brand better.

That makes sense to me. Never said it was a good or bad idea just stating they seem to be coming out with more stuff like this. Makes sense if you’re trying to grow revenue. I do like the long sleeve lifestyle shirts they came out with, I own the blue one and have considered the orangish one.

Purchased the ANC 3000 because I don’t have a carry on dedicated bag and wanted one. Could have gotten something a little cheaper from Amazon or online, but wanted to support a hunting brand plus it looks really nice. I will do a write up when we get back from Africa with it.

Why does a company make a product for a saturated market that solves no existing problems and isn’t supporting local manufacturing?

Simple hunting brand loyalty. Do you prefer to buy from a hunting company or activist company like Patagonia?

Lifestyle is the largest market segment. Why Bass pro/cabelas, Academy and even Scheels has such a large private label, compared to their hunting private label

Why does this bother some folks? A business, creating new products and expanding their product line. This is the karen crowd I can't stand. Who cares? How does it affect you to the point you have to go online and say they are "doing too much"? Like old ladies in a hair salon bitching.

Get outside more-spring bear is open!

Because they put water bottle pockets on these bags and not their hunting bags so I shake my fist at them. Also because my state doesn’t have a spring bear season

Sorry tony. I have visually removed the hair curlers from your head.

Respectfully, no one is being Karen here. People are voicing their opinions about a business model on an online public forum.

It’s more Karen-like to come on here cursing about that discussion.

Also, I’m pretty sure foul language/cursing is against our rules, no?

I said “doin” thank you, ha.

It’s a discussion, not mindless whining, I think you’re reading into it pretty strongly - it didn’t take much effort to make a comment on a thread someone started? My point still stands on marketing lifestyle ahead of the frame update. It’s just a shift in focus to continue growth. The sale of the company to a larger conglomerate is actually what’s tough to see, but it’s also a mark of success.

I’ve used SG from the beginning so yeah, I’ll make a comment. How does it affect you so much you feel the need to quote .

Time to make a hair appointment I guess.

"Growth and expansion"
"Segments and sectors"
"Transition to new spaces"

Dang a lot of heat on a work back pack. Is there cheaper lap top bags that I could get off Amazon or else where? Sure there is, but I bet they don't support the hunting industry.
I travel almost every week for work and my lap top backpack is looking pretty beat up. So I created an SG account and order one, they even give a military discount. I will do a drop test with my laptop and let you'll know if logs back into the same server.

Right, so that Stone Glacier travel bag? Forget "dogwhistle." That thing is a thermonuclear hunting siren, a Kryptek-camo'd Bat-Signal visible from the International Space Station to any true disciple of the backcountry. You're not just sitting on the airport tram; you're practically levitating on a throne of implied alpine conquests, radiating an aura of freeze-dried meals and sub-zero suffering.

Meanwhile, some poor, quivering soul from a state where "long range" means shooting across a soybean field is having a full-blown existential crisis. His internal monologue isn't just "billionaire sheep hunter." Oh no. He's picturing you as a crypto-trillionaire demigod of the wilderness, who doesn't just fly first class, you own the damn airline and had them retrofit a 747 with a personal taxidermy studio and a climbing wall that simulates K2. That American Express Centurion Card? Please. Yours is probably forged from meteorite, grants you access to secret government hunting grounds on Mars, and comes with a personal Sherpa on 24/7 retainer. He imagines you casually mentioning how you "roughed it" last week by only having one Michelin-star chef accompany you on your quest for the mythical Trans-Himalayan Snow Leopard.

And then, God forbid, some brave soul actually tries to talk to you. BAM! It's not just ROALS and BOALS. It's a full-blown, unsolicited TED Talk on the existential necessity of carrying a 90lb pack for 30 days, interspersed with guttural chants about the sacred bloodlines of Stone Sheep in the Spatsizi, punctuated by Cam Hanes quotes delivered with the fervor of a drill sergeant who mainlines elk protein and pure, unadulterated GRIT. You'll be dropping Uzbekistan like it's your local grocery store, casually mentioning the "tricky winds above 15,000 feet" while they're still trying to process what a "Boal" even is.

So yes, ASSERT YOUR UNYIELDING DOMINANCE over these... these flatlanders! Let them bask in the blinding, high-altitude glow of your superior gear and even more superior experiences. Make them feel the crushing weight of their own comfortable, un-blistered, tragically un-mountainous lives. Let them know, without saying a word (or by saying many words about kill-shots at 900 yards), that they are mere mortals in the presence of a true Apex Predator of Travel. They should feel privileged to breathe the same recycled airport air.

Doctors orders I have to take it easy for a couple months.

Time to get on Rokslide and stir the pot.

Make sure it's exactly 36" and from all sides.

In so many ways I hate the Internet, but sometimes it just comes through. Bravo, sir!

I bought a Red Oxx Air Boss off eBay last fall for a carry-on bag. Once my current Mystery Ranch computer bag gives out, I will be looking at one of their options. Made in USA, and really high quality.

SG has updated their ANC 3000 description to include dimensions: 23" Tall x 12" Wide x 9" Deep. Unfortunately they should double check these as 23” exceeds most major US Carriers dimensions of 22” such as Delta, UA, AA.
