    Zen bivy sheet/ enlightened equipment quilt

    Has this held up for you? I'm considering doing the same with my UGQ quilt. The new ZB UL 10deg is just way to $$.

    The Chilkoot Blowhole

    Yeah, I've heard a lot about the hot nalgene trick, but have never tried it! Yes, for most bags I plan on 15 extra degrees, but all the hype around this bag makes it sound like it's warmer than that. Some (few) companies do publish a rating that is closer to comfort than to limit. But my...

    Chilkoot Bag too Narrow?

    Thanks folks for the feedback. Yes, the Chilkoot is very roomy! I think they measure things a bit differently than other companies - they measure width and other companies measure circumference - some online outlets (I think GoHunt) double the width of the Chilkoot to match the circumference...

    The Chilkoot Blowhole

    Has anyone else noticed this huge hole below the zipper in the Chilkoot? I can literally stick my thumb straight from the outside of the bag, directly into the inside of the bag, where your body lay, trying to stay warm. There is no draft tube anywhere along the zipper, and not even a flap of...

    Seek Outside Redcliff vs 8 man Tipi

    The redcliff is amazingly quick and easy to setup by myself. Its perfect for 2 with a stove and 3 would be fine too. I really do love that tent. However, if standing room is what you're after, you won't really get it. I'm 5'8" and I feel the redcliff is just tall enough for me to have the...

    your good (or not so good) customer service interactions of late

    Absolutely stellar service from Feather Friends! I've called them a couple of times with questions about sleeping bags, sizing, etc. They are always quick to answer the phone, and in NO rush to get you off the phone. They really want to understand your needs, educate you about their products...

    Best instant coffee packets

    Mt. Hagan is my favorite so far. Pretty affordable... available on Amazon. I often add 1/2 packet of hot chocolate and that is really nice :-)

    which is the better phone for hunters?

    I think all the newer iPhones have satellite capabilities for SOS so I will definitely be sticking with apple for now.

    Seeking Turkey Call Mini-Vest / Chest Rig Solution

    So after seeing all this good feedback 2 years ago, I rigged up an old S4Gear bino harness with a cheap leg-mounted turkey rig I'd had for years. It has worked flawlessly the last 2 seasons... such a better solution for me than a vest. I need a good backpack when out chasing mountain birds in...

    Chilkoot Bag too Narrow?

    Hi all, I've been researching that crap out of bags, and one thing really has me scratching my head. The Chilkoot is listed as a bit narrower than most other bag in the hips and feet. The shoulders seem like a normal cut. It's strange because people talk about how roomy these bags are - I...

    Feathered Friends Sleeping Bags

    Hi Frank - I'm currently on the fence between your two bags: the Raven (with 3 or 4 oz overfill), or the Kodiak. I know the Kodiak would likely be warmer, even if I overfill the Raven. They seem close in size, with the Kodiak just a little wider in the chest and feet. I'm a restless side...

    Seeking Turkey Call Mini-Vest / Chest Rig Solution

    Hi all - I know someone just posted a bino harness adaptation for turkey calls, but wondering if something commercial exists. I'm looking for something I can wear underneath my backpack, which would have specialized pockets for 2 slate calls, strikers, box call, shells, mouth calls, locator...
