Hi guys,

Excuse the length of my post but I felt the need to address everyone's questions and criticism and hopefully alleviate any others.

My name is Nathan Creech and I am the owner and knifemaker at Kestrel Knives. I have been using and making Titanium knives for a little over 4 years now. I understand the skepticism as most people are not familiar with the knives or the process and thought behind it. Many are only familiar with Ti dive...

Wow!  Did not see this when I posted a request to drop the the Klymet Static V Junior.

I started section hiking the AT with an Exped UL Synmat 7M.  A a 72 x 20.5  rectangle with r3.3, 2.8” loft, weighing (ugh) 16.9oz.  The r factor has been perfect for three season backpacking. I'm a side sleeper and that 3" loft was great.  the side baffles are a tad higher than the others, creating a cradle effect.

I love it, but I didn't need the length, and...

Reply added to Interest Check: Outdoors & Ultralight Backpacks

I'm weighing in from a female perspective on the qualities piece - I want lightweight (less than 2lbs), but I also want it to be durable enough to bushwhack if needed. I want a female-specific fit or, at the very least, a shorter torso option (Granite Gear doesn't make their newest Crown pack in a shorter torso, thus completely excluding shorter people who want smaller packs; they also released some cool colors in their Crown VC a few years...

Reply added to ZeroGram PCT 2 UL Tent

Just received my order over a week early, so I'm pretty happy about that-- est. ship date 8/17, shipped 8/8, arrived 8/12. Since I just received it, I haven't yet taken it out camping (only slept in it at home), but will try to remember to update when I do. Since this is my largest Massdrop purchase to date, and since Zerogram is a relatively new kid on the block and doesn't have a lot of public feedback yet, I thought it would be worthwhile...

Reply added to Hennessy Hammock Expedition Asymmetrical Classic

In 2015 I purchased the  Hennessy Ultra Light Backpacker Asym Zip, and ordered the larger rainfly (Hyperlite Asym Rainfly 20D SilNylon). I've been section hiking on the AT in New England. I gave up my ultra light 2-lb, 1-person tent for this hammock system. 

At 63 years old, I 100% love this shelter system. 4-days ago, I ended a 7-day backpacking trip on the AT in NH. I had 3 consecutive days of rain,  and intermittent rain on other nights...

Spyderco Para 2 w/ CPM-M4, in black DLC

Did anyone else pick up one of these? Or two, or three...? I'm actually not a fan on the "natural" G10 scales--I think it has an almost sickly the. But there's nothing easier to swap out than Spyderco scales, and I am a big fan of M4. And...

  Dear DannyMilks, I work in product development for a manufacturing company. I understand delays happen, especially when sourcing from overseas vendors. I have previously worked in retail, e-commerce and order fulfillment as well. I know what it's like to be stuck between a rock and a hard place in circumstances beyond your control. I've been the guy who is the only "customer-facing" representative and get to catch the grief of disgruntled...
