    Seek Outside Olive Green - Color Q

    Thanks to everyone who posted pictures in this thread! It was instrumental in helping me decide on green vs brown for the Redcliff I bought tonight. The funny thing is that I've wanted a Redcliff since about the time this thread was created, but it took me a while to convince myself to spend the...

    Light weight cots

    The reason I have low cots is just that it's hard to find nests that fit a full-sized cot. I greatly prefer floorless shelters to tents, but use a nest year-round because of critters. Even in colder weather here you have to worry about ticks, and I also don't enjoy spider-parties in my bedding...

    Light weight cots

    I have the Thermarest cot, and although it's very comfortable, it is a bit annoying to put together, plus I always get onto or off of it very gingerly because it always feels like it's one wrong move away from breaking. It's also the lowest cot of the three I own (around 4 inches off the ground...

    Kifaru sawtooth

    It's nice to have a partial nest just for your sleeping area when you live someplace where mosquitoes and ticks are an issue more than half the year. I agree that most people are not going to want a full nest, although I can see its utility in specialized situations (e.g. you mostly camp...

    Hammock recommendations

    Warbonnet is a great company. I have had a Ridgerunner for ages, and I just picked up a Blackbird XLC. I also have a Dream Hammock Sparrow (have had it a few years and used it plenty). My Sparrow is really nice, and Dream Hammock offers much more customization than Warbonnet, but so far at...

    Missing zipper slider on Seek Outside Exposure?

    Well, Seek Outside has sent me a new pack! I was able to get in contact with them on Monday, and they sent out a new pack straight away. I've already loaded it up for a trip this weekend!

    Missing zipper slider on Seek Outside Exposure?

    I posted because I thought there was something dumb I might be missing - like somehow the zipper was underneath some bit of fabric, or you had to do something funky to free it from beneath the zipper teeth or something. Easier to ask for advice on a forum before going through the process of...

    Thanks, RockChucker. I've sent an email.

    Missing zipper slider on Seek Outside Exposure?

    I just got my Seek Outside Exposure tonight, and unless I'm missing something obvious, I think the big outside pocket is missing a zipper slider. I figured I'd ask on here first, before contacting Seek Outside, in case I *am* just missing something. The pocket is zipped closed, but I don't see...

    White pouch on back of Seek Outside Exposure 5000 - a danger during hunting season?

    Thanks for the tip on the blaze stretchy panel. The talons look cool, but they are $$$. The panel looks like an inexpensive option.

    White pouch on back of Seek Outside Exposure 5000 - a danger during hunting season?

    Hmm, I don't think they customize packs anymore, for me to request a different color. Maybe I could put something on it, though I'm not much of a seamstress. Maybe I could get something orange that I could clip on over it. Kind of a bummer. It does seem like a great pack though.

    White pouch on back of Seek Outside Exposure 5000 - a danger during hunting season?

    Hi, I've had my eye on the Seek Outside Exposure 5000 for a while because it's a large panel loader. I don't know whether I should be concerned about the pouch on the back though, which is white. I had heard that you shouldn't wear white in the woods during hunting season in case hunters mistake...

    Seek Outside pack harnesses on women/people with smaller frames?

    Thanks, Kevin, I might do that. Although it's good to hear from people here that they know women that haven't had an issue with the harness.

    Seek Outside pack harnesses on women/people with smaller frames?

    Great, thanks, Lawnboi! So she doesn't have any complaints about the harness not fitting well? That's good to hear.

    Seek Outside pack harnesses on women/people with smaller frames?

    Thanks, Phaseolus. Yeah, unless I get substantial negative feedback from women on here, I'll probably just bite the bullet and try one out. Really, I'm hoping for some positive feedback though. The only thing I've found online is a tutorial from a woman the same height as me (5'5") and probably...
