Knife is heavy, camera adapter is a chunky little guy. What GPS are you using?
Can't really get a lighter knife that's useful to me. It's on the short side as is, the 200gm is in a leather sheath. GPS is a garmin Oregon 450 or something. Touch screen, does the job but the 62's are better I think.
Camera adapter...yeah. Chunky.
I'm considering an Etrex20 for GPS. I don't like touch screens.
Yeah fixed blades are heavy cos you have to carry sheath as well. Mercator is 76 grams but carrying a sharpener of some sort is necessary
If I want to cut weight I skip the adapter and screw the camera straight onto the tripod and leave it assembled in my pack.
This one is sort of like another lens which connects the camera to the spotting scope.

Nice. I ordered some silnylon and bits to make a single wall tent using trekking poles since I bought some $30 poles and liked them. They need another use to be worth taking so....
Got some patterns and what not to make my own goretex jacket too, something to do over winter.
How do you like the pack gimp, ive got one as well. like it so far
for cooking on a quick trip I just take a jetboil/cooker and pot equivalent and a spoon, and a cup
looking at a down jacket soon, but dunno whether it will get much use hunting , I guess mainly while sitting glassing/at camp
The uberlight macpac down jacket is real warm for the weight and I paid a total of 70 dollars for it with my pro deal discount
I like the pack but I've only taken it on one trip so far, walked into Kiritaki hut in the Ruahines last weekend. It seems to handle weight and carry better than my Macpac Ascent despite weighing half as much, the real thing will be durability though.
I could leave my plastic mug and bowl at home and just use the titanium pot but I like having the extra gear for flexibility, can have a coffee while eating my oats in the morning etc
Gimp. How do you like the xpress 400 bag when it gets cold? I have one, havnt used below zero tho.
It seems good. The coldest I've used it in was in the upper Hunter at like 1600 meters, my tent etc froze, I was comfy. Will be taking it tahr hunting for the next 2 weeks so will report back with thoughts after that...

have you carried any meat in it yet? i did similar in summer but with my tent @ 900gm and no sleeping mat so must be a similar weight to you, plus half a deer on the way backQuote:

What do you think of the stealth tarp? Compared to the standard tarps?Quote:

Yeah I have and it's fine except for one small hole from sitting against a rock while wearing it
It can be a bit lumpy when you jam a bunch of legs and whatnot in there due to the soft design, just have to pack carefully.
Tikka, stealth tarp is awesome
For those using The lightnings, have a look at the exped flash pocket.
Flash Pack Pocket | Exped USA
Picked one up of trade me for $18 handy little koala mesh pocket, perfect for throwing a wet jacket or fly in. I jerry rigged mine to hold my water bladder as well, as they always seem to leak on me when I put them in my pack.
Cheers for this thread boys, is well helpful.
