I also wrestled with the same challenge and settled with a six man only because of the footprint. I live in an area where finding a suitable area large enough to accommodate a six man is tough...

Oh and besides Kifaru you need to visit Tom Horns grave site in Boulder and the Buffalo Bill museum in Golden! Oh and the Rockmount shirt store downtown plus dinner at the Buckhorn Exchange!! Too...
Make sure your not putting your head inside the bag and discharging moisture. Also change out your poly pros, wool socks etc for fresh - make that dry before bed. If you've worn the poly pros or wool...
NTL, Who is the manufacturer of your RRV? Also it appears you use the NATO tourniquet which appears in your IFAK. Is that because of what is issued or you prefer it over the CAT, SOFTT, SWAT-T et al?
What Thermometer is this that records by the hour? Please provide a link. I'm interested.
I carry a smaller Wetterling in the summer their hatchet size 14" and Wetterling 19" in winter. I etched in the handle inches so it doubles as a ruler when quick measurements are needed for the...
Roger that. If you can make your agency send you to the two-day advanced armorer school. It is substantially better!! Maybe not so much for an agency with just one model. But still much better. You...
Pat you an armorer with your agency? Curious.
We went over this in depth in the two day Advanced Armorers course recently- the factory recommends auto recoil spring changes at 2500 rounds max or anytime it fails the Recoil Spring Function Check....
Thanks for the details!!
Sawtooth, which boots are those again? Also your pack is the Spike Camp- correct?
Okay I'm learning a lot in this thread! I guess I do own a wind shirt but didn't know it! I picked up on sale a few years ago a Natural Gear pull over with hood and it looks a lot like the Piragis...
What is a wind shirt? When or where is it used. Enlighten me please guys! Someone gave me a Marmot Dri Clime Wind Shirt for Christmas. I smiled, thanked them and then said "what the heck is this for?...

Don't choose a defensive handgun to accomadate your lifestyle (it's got to be small, light, little, easy to carry, & comfortable etc) but rather change your lifestyle and mindset so you can...
I concur Beckel makes a great tent. A good buddy has a 12 x 18 and by himself can set it up in 20-30 mins solo. He loves it and uses it at least 6-8 time a year. Another serious consideration is to...
Unfortunately you really need to take a "needs and gut" check and determine for yourself:
A) what you need to fulfil or complete your mission (which shelter really fulfills my mission?) and B)...
When weather is iffy and unpredictable and I'm in an environment where I do not have the luxury of hopping into my truck and driving home then I go with synthetics. I own and enjoy down bags and...
I've got a couple of these. One stays in the truck and other in my winter pack. It all goes into an aluminum tube which also doubles as the handle. I've cut a lot of wood with one of these.

I'd recommend go wide on the Slick regardless which way you end choosing. I own standard width and wide width and sold the standard as soon as the wide arrived. I also invested in a Woobie along with...
Ralph that is all I have also. Read the Kindle owner manual and it walks you thru the steps.
I have a bunch of PDF books on my gen 2 Kindle! I put every owners manual to critical gear (GPS, HAM HT radio,Laser Range Finder, Optics, Medical books, recipes, etc) to take with me hunting and...
A get home kit should not be a "in case of fire break glass" piece of kit. Mine goes with me every where I go and I use most of the tools and contents several times per week min. I do eat the food...
It is the ejector which ejects the brass out of the port and at this point that would be my first place to look. The extractor may be also part of the culprit. If the gun is functioning and not...
You can add a tek lock to the Serpa for even more flexibility. That is what I use on my pack wasteband. Then when the pack is off the holster will quickly and easily go on my belt.
Say how do you guys store your Woobie or Doobie when you're not using it? I tried folding it like a blanket and it just is so slick it just unfolds and falls on the ground. I don't want to put it in...
