I just bought a new Soto Windmaster stove from REI in Alpharetta GA yesterday for full price. Today I took it out of the box and it has clearly be used before. The burner and stand are both heavily...
Interested in either for the right price. The Gila is probably the better choice for me depending on the volume. It seems that Seek Outside often changes the volumes of their packs.
I know some of the options but not all of them. I'm going with someone else and trying to chose something that suits him. I like the real wilderness places and he prefers the AT. There are too...
Thanks. I love the cohutta wilderness and have done many hikes there but its always a question mark due to trail conditions. I'm over double your age and if the blow downs are bad or the river is...
I would appreciate suggestions for some good 2 night/ 3 day hikes covering 10 to maybe 18 miles. A loop or lollipop loop fairly close to Atlanta is what I'm looking for. An out and back would also...
Funny. I'm still working on this project (obviously not a priority). I posted the question THREE years ago on reddit and have received zero comments.
Has anyone seen or tried ripstop by the roll's new reflective pocket mesh material. The only helpful info RSBTR posts is the weight 7.1 oz per square yard. I'm wondering about the...
Can you describe the black back pad and what it's made of?
From pictures it looks like a lightweight cordura with some foam sandwiched between the cover pieces. Maybe its a lighter fabric -...
Thanks for your idea. You must have missed the comment I made which said it can't be modified to fit. I've already considered that option. Its too small in both directions. I want the finished...
Thanks. I don't use reddit. I signed up, posted my question, joined th MYOG group - nothing, Using that website is a mystery. My post is buried and I can only find if if I use search. Anyhow, I...
Does someone know what sort of mesh Kelty uses for the back panels on their external frame packs?
I think its Leno mesh but I don't know if its stiff or soft Leno. I'm making a DIY external...
Any factual information regarding what may have contributed to the incident beyond the very basic information already provided will potentially be very helpful to the uninformed and at risk.
I've been watching this thread for awhile to learn about what may have happened. I'm home sick today and have been scouring the news sources on the web about the probable cause - still nothing that...
If you have a tent with a door that zips shut (I'm a tarp camper) do your down removal/stuffing inside the tent with the door zipped shut. Its still a challenge keeping up with any down that gets...
Maybe I'll see you some day on the trail in the linville gorge. Thanks again.
Thanks for the information.
I've been working on this project for YEARS - it hasn't been a priority until recently. I'm shooting for something like the divide 4500. Its hard to imagine why attaching the loops to the black...
Thanks for the response - I understand how it basically works - the question is whether the bottom loop is sewn to the horizontal black band that goes from one side of the frame to the other or to...
He says "this little attachment piece goes right down here". That's what I'm trying to figure out .., what is right down here? Its always behind the cushy back band in any video or picture I've...
Can anyone with a seek outside pack tell me how the shoulder strap harness attaches to the pack bag? I bought a pair of shoulder straps and hipbelt from them to update an old Jansport frame and cant...
I ordered some 210 gridstop and hyperD 300 from rip stop by the roll. Committed now.
Thanks. That's the ultimate choice, but I thought I would make a prototype out of cheaper fabric first. If I like it I may stop there. If I really like it and the waterproof nature of Xpac seems...
Thanks, but I'm building a special custom pack to my specs to fit on a frame that I already have. A rayway pack or anything ultralight isn't what I'm after. I've had a problem finding a material...
Had a few major bumps in the road with deaths in the family and haven't made my pack yet. You gave me plenty of good advice, but the hyperD is very floppy. I ordered samples to check it out. 420D...
