    Well man I cracked it open and got to say I’m pretty impressed. Very easy to get out of the pack which is nice and comfortable to wear when commuting it.

    I knew it was 6x6 but man this thing really feels huge for what I’m used to and at 5’10 I have to just keep my head angled down to navigate at full height.

    When opening it, it had a packaged rain fly and a separate pack full of steaks. All you do is pull the tabs and the sides will pop out. I think once it’s out of the bag you could get this thing up in like 30 seconds so it lives up to the name. By being a cube it has windows on all sides and it’s just a solid spacey feel when in there. The construction on it with the zippers feel robust and I’m pretty stoked with the design in general from one mech to another.

    No idea, we were all just planted on our brakes to get down this section. 3 Samurais and 4 Tacomas all did it. That big drop I had hurt my dadgum lower back bad.

    I have no doubt man, you could tell your truck just had to fall onto level ground...I don't think you could have done it any smoother than you did.

    Man that samurai got me nervous with how it started to buck in the rear.

    Today is the last day at my current job, before moving on to my new position at Boeing. Pretty stoked about that.

    100%. I just didn't want to climb the salary ladder too long before making a switch or I would've had to take a pay cut since I'd have no relevant experience lol. Super ready for some change!
