Sawtooth,
I have collected knives for many years and am guilty of turning them into safe queens. This is what lives in my Longhunter and really gets used. Doziers really hold an edge.

I quit carrying matches several years ago. I carry a "Light My Fire" sparker. (sparker and striker on a cord) It works great for lighting my stove. As a back up, a lip balm size tube of vaseline...
Usually, when caught outside naked in the winter, one can generate tremendous heat while running from the boyfriend of the gal whose house you left so quickly that you did not don clothing. ...
I'll second the recommendation on using heavy duty trash compactor bags! It has worked very well for me.
Absolutely! I cherish the trips my sons and I take as well. Right now I really appreciate the vest and fall colors. We are having a 106-108 heatwave which makes fall colors all the more appealing.
No, I have not hunted the Marble Mtns.....yet. They are on my radar for next year. I've hunted the Trinities for the past 8 years and my luck has not been good for quantity, but I shot a...
snakey2,
You summed it up with the word spectacular. The Trinities drive my training schedule for the year; everything seems to be uphill! This years training will include getting my son to...
Just got back from a great father and son, 5 day hunting trip. The photo of our packs says it all. The weather in the Trinity Alps was fantastic...too good. Never even pitched my super tarp; just...
Get rid if the sack of concrete and pack your Spike Camp with things you really might carry. Undoubtedly, they will be softer and conform to your body better. 60 pounds of gear will seem lighter...
I did not have the honor of meeting Bill in person. Rather, I got to know him through his writing. His ability to craft a story with words and pictures that grabbed you was amazing. If he took the...

Hi Chris,

Special, deal, incentive, or stimulis package, call it whatever. I'm celebrating our countries independence by giving someone a fantastic price on this excellent pack. I've never seen a LS deal...
Here are the photos I promised. The Gunbearer is mounted on the left side so it may not show up well.
Sure, I'll take some this morning.
Too many packs, too little time. Pack is in excellent condition. The only mark is where my name tag will be removed! Fleece panels included. Waist belt fits approx 33" - 37"
I seem to use...
SLG,
Are you interested in a G1 Late Season. I find myself using my Siwash and the Late Season is just sitting. It is in excellent condition and I will price it to sell.
Another way to utilize the Cargo Chair is as a "platform base". This picture shows the pack leaned against a log so you can see the chair. I have found that by securing the chair in this fashon...
Here is my LH Guide. Packing out and as a hauler. The pack is really stable. This was a 5 day trip. We hiked in about 10 miles and set up a base camp.
The conversion to the hauler is easy....
I have a G2 Siwash, the hunting version of the Navigator. I have carried it regularly on day hikes (with about 30lbs of stuff) for exercise and done two overnight trips with it.
It carries very...
I have the insulated BA Air Core and really like it. Only downside is blowing it up ar 10,000 ft when you are tired!
I'll vote with Herb on this one. I have the Express and carry it a lot. However, when I want to carry more weight but do not want to take out the LH Guide, the Siwash gets the nod.
I think far...
I have a pair of the insulated booties. They are not made to be worn over regular boots. They work really well in camp to keep your feet warm; I even sleep in them. The Rhinoskin fabric is durable...
Old Goat,
I used the LH Hauler for five days this fall and was really pleased! In reality, you "feel" very little difference between the Hauler and a much smaller pack. I also have a Siwash,...
I love it. The proof is in the picture.
