Have you ever gone too light?

If yes what did you not like about it?

10 days with 1 pair of underwear produced a chafe so severe it took 10 days to heal. Looked like I took a cheese grater to my groin.

I feel that. Went 9 days on a merino pair. On the way home they got donated to the Taco Bell trash can.

Knife for me. Tried one of those titanium skeleton knives but just couldn’t grip it well.

No idea what that means.

Think he meant gold bond, the baby powder for adults

Perhaps. I now prefer adding lubricants instead of abrasives to that region. Vaseline is amazing.

Body fat percentage here. The elk hunting mantra of “Get in the best shape of your life” is only somewhat accurate. Taking that to the extreme - and having single digit body fat percentage - actually has its drawbacks in the mountains. Works well for one day….but not the best for multiple days in a row.

Tried to get away with a 35 degree bag on a Sept elk hunt, it got so cold I had issues keeping water thawed…. Never again

Seems like I always get at least one day at 80° and one night at 20° in the same week during September.

After 9 days you decided you needed Taco Hell?



Get the mountain house backups or something?

Ha! We were going to treat ourselves to a nice meal at a sports bar but my partner says “we’ve been hunting for nine days, we stink, we’ll get kicked out of there so we’re just going to Taco Bell”.

Black diamond FLZ’s. After breaking 2 poles in 2 sets, I contacted BD. “FLZ’s aren’t meant for heavy use” was the reply (along with warranty replaced with the alpine carbon corks). The FLZ’s are nice, but to light for anything serious ime.

I've had good luck with the black diamond FLZ.
I tripped walking down a chute and for sure thought they were done and just the top knob on the foam grip ripped off. going on 4 years with them. There's no more blue paint left on the lower 2ft of the poles.

the alternative was going home and telling my wife I was too much of a b**** to finish what I started - and that's just not happening.

Oh see that’s the difference: my wife already knows I’m a wuss.
