Stone glacier raingear has to go. It’s just not appropriate for Alaska rain.
Talking about the M5 or M7 set? I was considering the M7 for late season Colorado hunting which I know is totally different than Alaska, but still.
No Idea about the m7 but as far as stone glacier is concerned, I'll use their packs and frames but I'll look elsewhere for clothing and stuff. I might try that 2 person tent they make at some point though. I was all excited about that m5 but its not really good for much more than a windbreaker and a light rain shower lasting a few minutes.Roger, thanks. I guess at this point I don't know enough about the differences to know if the M7 would be an upgrade in dryness.
Sold my 85mm Razor spotter and pulled the trigger on a Swaro ATX 95. The plan is to eventually buy a smaller lens. I like adjustable zoom and take a lot of phone scope footage so thr BTX wasn’t on the radar.What gear are you guys replacing in 2021 and why? Here’s my list:
1.Kuiu Mountain Star. Great tent but someone stole mine. I’m thinking about getting a SO with stove.
2.) Meopta Meostar S2 82mm Spotter. It’s been a great spotter for me but it’s time to upgrade to the Swaro ATX.
3.) Manfrotto 128RC Fluid Head. Great head but it’s heavy.
4.) Black Diamond Storm Headlamp. It failed me on a pack out, not sure if the headlamp was to blame or the cold. It was about zero degrees. I just stated testing the Fenix HL60R.

Thank you.@AK Troutbum
GREAT pictures!!!
That stove looks like the cat’s pajamas! Is that a US GI Arctic tent heater?
lm going to replace my kifaru 12 and 4 man teepees, age got me, no more back packing, going to buy some kind of pop up tent and haul it in my jeepWhat gear are you guys replacing in 2021 and why? Here’s my list:

Buddy of mine just bought the skyscraper tent. He used it for sheep this year and loves it fwiw.No Idea about the m7 but as far as stone glacier is concerned, I'll use their packs and frames but I'll look elsewhere for clothing and stuff.

I have to laugh when I see this post I made in March, instead of 5-6 things I bought at least 20 things this year. With Black Friday being around the corner it'll probably shoot up to 30Already replaced:
Pack: SG Avail 2200 -> SG Archer 6400, so far I love the new big pack
Headlamp: Cheapo brand -> Fenix HL60R
Rangefinder: None -> Sig Sauer KIL 1800BDX
To do:
Bino Harness: Marsupial -> SG Skyline, the Marsupial messes up my compass for land nav so I'll be selling it soon
Stove: No-name stove -> MSR or Jetboil, still undecided
Also looking to get 15x binos (probably Swarovski SLC) and my first compound bow
My under armour kit because I can not stand the right fit in the thigh which limits movement. Replacing with First LiteWhat gear are you guys replacing in 2021 and why? Here’s my list:
