    Canoe vs Kayaks for Fishing/General Use

    I dipped my toes into fishing from a kayak. The general consensus for fishing the Hobie Pro Angler is the top dog. Lots of $$$$. I purchased the VanHunks Pro Angler it is significantly cheaper and something that VanHunks doesn’t advertise is the Hobie Miragedrive 180 fits their kayaks. So I...

    Stone Glacier Avail for smaller bodies

    I have two Avail packs, I wouldn’t think of them as a “backpack” but more as a beefed up book bag or rucksack. It does have a frame sheet with stays and load lifter straps so it is closer to a “backpack “ than a book bag or rucksack. But because it only comes with a one size fits all belt and...

    Crispi boots resoled

    Who has had their Crispi boots resoled? Where? And how were the results? I have a pair of boots that were very comfortable and after having them resoled by a local cobbler my feet hurt after one day of using them.

    Sleeping bag

    I prefer a quilt myself. But check out Outdoor Vitals they are not as cheap as they were when I purchased them but bang per buck I don’t think they can be beat. I have two bags and five quilts from them.

    Lightweight Tent Advice Needed

    Just out of curiosity why no sil/nylon? I just purchased the Tarptent Notch in sil/sil/nylon. I listened to a tent manufacturer on a podcast ( sorry don’t remember which one) and they said the life expectancy of a Dyneema tent is about 75% of the same tent made with sil/sil/nylon. He also said a...

    What Sleeping Bag?

    I got my first Outdoor Vitals bag four or five years ago. -15* Summit . I have never had it down to the minus temps but it was incredibly warm in the low teens. I prefer to use the 0* quilt for anything from the upper twenties and above. I think they make great bags and quilts. Unfortunately the...

    Looks interesting. If you are interested in constructive input I will throw my hat into the ring as a person to put it through its paces. Your pack has some unique options. Do you have a retailer in Washington so I could get hands on? I will have to keep an eye on this to see how the pack...
