    What is your favorite backpacking pillow?

    Depends on what size pillow you are putting inside. They have a chart listing all compatible pillows. Otherwise your jacket etc work out rough size needed.

    What is your favorite backpacking pillow?

    1. Klymit inside a Goosefeet Gear Down. Not too heavy,warm and thickness right. 2. Also use a Sea to Summit Down which is super light and velcros onto mat. 3. Thermarest Compressible is also good but is now the wifes. You will need to try a few and details like how they fit in the hood...

    Kimber rifles

    Interestingly a couple of posts on here Winchester Featherweight 30-06. I still have one and they are not terribly weighty and shoot well. It has all been done before. I have a Rem 700 .243 in a carbon stock and you know what about the same weight as a Featherweight. Old Husqvarna's are also a...

    Who suffers from neuropathy?

    I have it post chemo ,it unfortunately only kicked in when I had finished chemo. 4 years now. Feet really bad and hands with a combination of arthritis not too much fun. To get a reasonable sleep tried a few drugs but didn't like them. Have settled for the following. Warm bed in winter...

    30-06 limitations or does it not have the “cool factor”

    One thing the 30-06 has going for it is the 30-06 and cartridges of similar dimensions feed really well compared to chunkier stubbier cartridges. When you need a second shot it just works.

    Pad and Pillow for Side Sleepers

    I use the down pillow and Extreme Pad it is a comfortable set up. I think the pillow thickness inflation is the key.

    Is it worth is to ever buy a new truck again vs maintaining your current one?

    I have a 1980 BJ40 and still use as daily driver to work and weekends. Have probably spent what it is now worth. I think you have to decide to keep it. Then do not skimp on anything you have to keep it up to scratch. The only thing I haven't touched is diffs, gearbox and transfer case. But I can...

    Short quotes that speak volumes.

    max weight backpacking bag

    Volume really becomes the issue even with the expensive and warm bags. I have an Exped Waterbloc for here in NZ and as good as it is for what I want it it is heaps bulkier compared to EE Revelation quilt or Sea to Summit Micro 3 I use.

    Cold weather co sleeping with toddlers

    Put them to bed warm. Well rugged up, food in their belly. Make sure they are insulated from the cold, too many people put the kids on a stretcher/cot without insulation underneath them. We used to regularly camp with our kids down to -9/10c. They loved it.

    What do you do to keep warm on a cot?

    For my wife and I we use an old original Thermarest for her and a Exped SIM for me under the 40-50 mm foam mattress. Both do the job the Exped is a bit wider but both the same thickness. Then whatever sleeping bag for the expected temps. NZ might be a "tropical" South Pacific Island but any time...
