I also tried an alcohol stove, but decided a Pocket Rocket was worth the few extra ounces...

Funny you talk about freeze dried beer. I still have some beer concentrate left and my carbonator. Cool idea, just don't use it much in reality. I did take a case of beer that way when the weight limit in a Cessna really mattered! Not bad when the other option is nothing

Figure if those of us into this post something, we could assemble a bad ass gear list. There are for sure things I have not considered. Mine favorite 2 pieces of gear: 1) Enlightened Equipment quilt. 2) Seek Outside backpacks. I have the Divide 4500 for Summer and one of true larger packs...

Maybe we should ask for a gear sub thread. Lots of gear nerds here.

I like the idea of the Biolite but have not given it a shot yet. How hard to get a fire going that produces enough heat to cook? Pretty cool idea for a remote trip to top off batteries.

Just received mine. Thank you!

I never made it to Kennedy before it was gone! Maybe that was a good thing. My favorite hot springs is not remote - but Norris in Montana. That is such a cool place to have a beer and relax. I guess it is remote, if you consider the drive to get there - but remote with beer, good food and...

There are some amazing views up there. I hope to not lose that in my, or my kids, lifetime! Agree on the massive damage that would cause. The Sauk in particular, as the Suiattle drains directly into it. Those rains in 2003 changed a lot of terrain. Pretty damn impressive what 1 event...

I will never use a bag again. EE quilt is perfect. Pair it with an XLite for a comfortable 30oz solution for 3 seasons.

Second the Garmin. Although the 'descending' and 'down' messages freak my wife out... I don't like to use the bread crumb feature for various reasons, so tend to send messages if I'm off grid doing something dangerous so she has the location pin.... Essential gear for backcountry by...

I still have one of those bells! When I first got my license I drove to the Skagit and plunked in brown silt. Caught a nice salmon for dinner to the surprise of others on the beach. Just a spin and glow, no sand shrimp. That fish must have literally ran into my spin and glow! No one in my...

I need to move to Bozeman! Love that. I have done a few overnights in your neck of the woods. One lake holding nice Grayling. Fun.

Where do you live? I'll see what I can get from our warehouse. I'm in that biz... Height adjustable tables are so cheap now - seems like that would make a nice fly tying table. Even Ikea has them. Sit when you want. Stand when you want.

Yard Sale - definitely interested in how this setup works for you. Do you use an insert also, or just the snap in floor? For a stove I would think 1/2 the floor would be perfect. I have looked at Seek Outsides tipis and stoves - very similar to what you have. Think that is a pretty sweet...

Nice report! I helped put in the new runway at Old Harbor, Kodiak. Was a USMC IRT community project. They can land a C130 there now! Pretty damn impressive. I want to go back there and hike from there back to town. I think that would be awesome and give some incredible fishing opps...

Knowing only that I haven't fished the Stilly in years, what contributes to it being 'toast'. Genuinely interested here. I should know more about my back yard and the areas that have been decimated. Maybe I should ask in a PM. This should probably go under the conservation thread.... I...

The interior space is bigger than it looks. With gear bags on both sides it still fits 2 Helinox Sunset chairs and a small table. Luxury :p

I hear you on the elevation. I hope my joints last long enough to keep doing this into my 70s. They have USMC years on them... I have a couple of difficult areas I am going to hit very soon, before they are out of reach for me. My pack weight used to range close 80-100lbs. Due to Sh%&y...

I like the hot stove idea for floats in AK. Maybe another piece of gear to test... This last year I feel like I found the best solution for floats the way I do them. Small single person rafts with just 1 friend. Been eyeing this tent for awhile, but finally found one on fleabay...

Some fat Alaskan Coho to fill the freezer. All caught on spinners. Love fishing for Coho. Fly or gear.
