    This monster at the taxidermy today

    Migh be the biggest bull I’ve seen. Also a super cool mount. I knew the owner of my company got a big one, but didn’t realize it was this big. I have zero details but am going to make a note to talk to him about it.

    Hey fellas. I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on an Exo K3 3200 as my do-it-all pack. I don’t do anything more than 3-5 days, and if I ever do it’s easy enough to purchase a larger bag to go on the frame. The trouble I’m running into is the pack belt. I’m a 32 waist.
