    Please help with gear for tall guy!

    Just to follow up for any other tall guys. My First lite order came today. The XXL shirt was plenty long. A little looser than I would like but not bad. The jacket was spot on. The XLT pants were absolutely perfect for me. Looks like I am going to stick with First lite for now. I am very...

    @kickemall Awesome thanks, I forgot Kuiu is from Dixon. I will definitely stop by. @Stubborn_bowhunter thanks a bunch. Glad to hear it will work. I think it is a fair bit larger than 2200. I was able to pack up everything I need minus water. I already purchased the binos I think the 10-42 is...

    Thought Process on 30 vs 15 Degree Sleeping Bag

    For What it is worth, ($0.00) I go on the Dusy Ershim trail every fall in my Jeep. If your not familiar it is high eastern Sierras. I have brought a 30* bag a 15* bag and a 0* bag. The 30 was by far the most comfortable until one frigid night. The following year I brought the 0* bag and cooked...

    Starter pack for beginner?

    I appreciate all the advice. I ended up getting the badlands pack. I looked at packs from SO, Kirafu, Horn Hunter, Exo, etc until I was dizzy. $170 gets me something for next month. I was actually pleasantly surprised. The Large frame really does seem to work. I loaded all my crap and added...

    I took a chance on First lite, just ordered pants jacket and shirt so we'll see. @OldGrayJB I have heard good things about the midway stuff. @Sturgeon I have a ton of Columbia fishing clothes in tall that work out well. I didn't know they did camo! If the First Lite stuff doesn't work I will...

    Please help with gear for tall guy!

    @5MilesBack Indeed. a standard long or tall usually fits me. 38" would be tough. I saw your ad. Those are base layers right? I have some LL-bean merino lightweights that work great for skiing and camping.

    8x42 Binos around $500???

    EuroOptic often has some killer deals on demos and used equipment. I just got a pair of Zeiss Conquest 10-42 demos there for just a bit more. Otherwise, the Midway deal on Leupold BX4 is pretty hard to beat.
