    Review of Zen bivy lite

    I have the Large (Tapered not Rectangular) S2S Ether Lite XT pad. I already had that pad before purchasing the Zenbivy bed. I've never seen or tried the Zenbivy pad but I can say that the Ether Lite XT is a very comfortable pad. Much better than the Thermarest Neoair I had prior.

    Review of Zen bivy lite

    I finally was able to use mine for 7 days in CO. Temps were pretty mild, lows were in the 30s. I have the 25 degree lite bed and like you, I think I have found the ultimate sleep system. I use it with my S2S Ether Lite XT pad, no problem getting the sheet over the Large pad. All the reviews...

    Lanshan Pro 1 vs Argali Owyhee

    I have the Lanshan Pro 2p and it has been a good tent, figure the 1p would be just as good. If I was to do it all over again, I would buy the Durston X-mid. Better tent at a pretty good price. Sorry to confuse the question but may want to take a look at the Durston.

    Changing Arrows

    Plenty of online shops you can order from that will expedite shipping. Some will even build to your specs. I would not switch arrows this late in the game if hunting in September. My .02 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What is your favorite backpacking pillow?

    This one is hard to beat for the price. Comes with a strap that works great. The only pillow I can compare it to is the S2S Aeros and this one is better in every way...

    Bad fire!

    My brother lives in the outskirts of Medical Lake. He said his father in law, a local rancher in the area, told him about a small fire that started less than 2 miles from his house. Within minutes he noticed a large plume of smoke and knew that fire had gotten out of control. Lucky for him...

    A or B...which one, and why

    A.....because B wasn't an option yet when I bought my trekking poles. My telescoping Black Diamonds still work so haven't felt the need to upgrade.

    K4 5000 accessories?

    You can take the bag off of the frame and load a sandbag on the frame and use the crib to strap it down. Holds the sandbag on the frame really well.

    K4 5000 accessories?

    Everyone is different but I think these 2 are a must have: Nalgene Holder and a Belt Pouch or 2. A stash pocket is nice and I like that they clip into different areas of the pack, so something to consider. If you plan on training with your pack.......ie carrying heavy loads in the form of a...

    7mm REM Mag Suggestion

    X3 for the Hornady Precision Hunter 162g ELD-X. I wanted to shoot the Nosler Accubonds as my .338 Win Mag loves them but the Hornady just group much better out of my 7mag.

    Just got the Zenbivy Lite bed

    I was stoked when I got the email that the Lite Bed was back in stock. I just got my 25 degree lite bed about a week ago. I set it up right away on my sleeping pad and crawled in to see if all the hype was real.........wow!! This thing is comfortable!! I ordered the large quilt and 25" sheet...

    Stop And Smell The Roses

    Man this has never been described better!! When I was living in Alaska I had the opportunity to go on a few sheep hunts. My second sheep hunt in particular I completely forgot to do just as you described. It was a 10 day hunt and we had early success with 2 out of the 3 of us notching tags on...
