Get the Camino GTX; fits like the Renegade w/ pretty much same flexibility/weight, but it's resoleable. I too got annoyed at having to replace my Renegades every season.
I was trying to wait it out but all that's happened is interest rates have gone up, and prices have dropped slightly. If interest rates drop, prices will likely go back up so...damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I like my Stone Glacier, but man are the zippers so damn loud in the woods when I open my pack. Side by side to a buddy's Exo, it's like yelling vs whispering.
Anyone come up with a solution to this? Everything that comes up is for quieting the zipper pulls making noise, nothing about the...
1- Make sure 2nd axis is level

3- Make adjustments to your 3rd axis
4- Recheck your 2nd axis; it likely won't be level
5- Repeat 3 & 4 until it's level at both angles

I'm not sure what the breakdown would be in Colorado, but what other forms of recreation are generating equivalent or more revenue to hunting and fishing?
Backpackers don't pay anything, except maybe a $20/25 trail pass fee with a fair share of complaining about it; ski resorts might be equal...

Each variation/alternative also destroys farmland and agriculture land as well. They sad thing is that even if enough people comment/vote against it, it can be overruled by the government in favor of what they want to do.
Gotta agree with @go_deep; maybe you can get away with more with a rifle, but I guarantee you the shot you think is a chip shot as a bowhunter is the shot where you don't see the small branch in your arrow path, or you don't get the accurate range you thought you had, or you get lazy on your...
