My first 90-degree hammock- a NOS Exped Ergo- is on order and expected soon. As I understand it, the stiffer the pad, the flatter the lay (which can be said about other hammocks as well, in my...

I've never tried an SLS, but if I were to do so I would use something like an alpine hitch:

to give myself loops to tie onto....

If you don't get any trade offers on the Primalid and decide to sell it instead, please let me know.....

What a great post, and what an inspiration!
Thank you

Edit: I just remembered the best part of Titanic- the photographs of the amazing life the central female character led after she was given a...

I definately am a prospect for the beak model. If it is windy/stormy enough to need to block off the end, I want the aerodynamic properties of the beak rather than the flat panel.
At the risk of...

Has anyone ever turned a poncho liner into an UQ? Perhaps with a space blanket exterior? Seems easy enough; but does anyone know how warm it might be?

PS- I would have added this to peanutdudes...

If I did the math right, it's effectively 3 oz per sq. yd.

This fascinating thread made me wonder about the possibility of making some sort of pipe/chimney addon to the BushBuddy I was given for my birthday.....

Hey Scout Master,

I had never looked at the Gearskins until your post piqued my curiosity.

If you have the temperament and time to fuss with all that (just plain weird) set-up and a troop of...

IMO: Carbon dioxide is plant food, and we (mankind) aren't even making enough of the stuff to feed a few extra trees.

There is pretty good evidence that Mars is warming. As far as I know, there is...

FishinFinn-
I've read several times that although mosquitos can often bite through one fairly sustantial layer of cloth it's almost impossible for them to bite through two layers. Have you ever...

Have you checked out the warbonnet supershelter?

That may be true of mace, and is true of tear gas, which is often confused with pepper spray, but, again, that is totally contrdictory to everything I have read, heard, or experienced about pepper...

"Nope. There is some evidence that bears actually develop a tolerance to pepper spray"

Unless you can back that up, including how many hundreds or thousands of exposures are required to produce...

If you're saying that we reloaders are pretty smart folks: thanks! Who am I to argue?

Great post. What part of the Winds were you in? I've had a couple great hikes there- and one cut short by killer demon crackhead mosquito swarms from hades.
Guess that's one prob you didn't have...

I'm a total newbie to hanging. I for years have had a large net hammock I'd set up camping with the family at Myrtle Beach SP. That led me to a HH Exped Asym, which I don't care for, primarily...

Anything is better than nothing, I suppose. Fact is, I don't know an awful lot about tazers. Maybe you can help me. How many shots can you get out of a tazer before you reload? How long does it take...

Not necessarily. Solid lead bullets are preferred by reloaders (they're cheaper) and swaged lead bullets are considered by many to be the most accurate pistol bullet available. I used pure lead for...

Excellent thread. I'm an ex-paratrooper, an ex-cop, and I've collected the occasional (human) bounty. I've been hunting alone since I turned 12 years old in rural WV some 45 years ago. I took my...
