Gaffer tape can...

    water bladder in EXO side pocket options?

    Thanks guys The slurpy stalker looks like a cool idea. It's not a necessity for my current usage and I don't want to add any weight, also my preference would be to have the bladder outside the main pack I was looking at getting a Sawyer filter, so might just pony up a few bucks for the quick...

    water bladder in EXO side pocket options?

    Digging up an old thread. I have a 1st gen 3500 exo and haven't come up with a great solution for carrying a bladder.

    My DIY projects

    Hey Squirrels , the little three bar rings you have used on your pouch, do they attach by just slipping through PALS webbing? or do you use a strap to secure it? I think I saw pics of these looped into PALS webbing, but not sure how secure it is with a bit of weight on it. It looks like it...

    DIY Pullouts, pouches and pockets

    Yeah, I'm not sure. I've had a tiny play at it only. Ive watched a couple of his videos, I believe he uses it for tarps and hammocks. He is a very patient and meticulous craftsman, far more patience than I have, so I'm not sure how translates to doing long seams.

    Flip flops in Backcountry

    I have a pair very similar to these. Same tread pattern on the sole. I love them. They took some getting used to, but once worn in a bit they're great. Perfect for stalking, great grip. I've used them canyoneering, and they are good on slippery rocks. Also used them free-diving for abalone and...

    Hammocks

    hammocks are one thing people either love or hate. I think a lot of haters don't have the perseverance or guidance to take the time to really learn how to set up properly. I've tried a few different hammocks, and it took me a while to find what works well, and I'm still tinkering. I've had some...
