Camping and Backpacking GEAR thread

@Seabass Wishing you a continued recovery.

 

about a week before the 25% off, it was 50% off. almost bought a second sleeping bag just cause i wanted the new color. hahaha

 

Maybe after the holidays there will be more sales.... As the number of sales go down.

 

Yea most of the time you’ll get “end of year” sales when there is a dip after Christmas

 

I'm hoping that's the case with TNF I've got some VIP bucks to spend before the 29th and another fleece would be nice

 

The Klymit KSB 0 Degree sleeping bag is on sale at Costco for $160 til the end of the month. I'll be trying it out in Death Valley next month.

Nice buy.
FYI .... https://www.klymit.com/ksb-0-oversized-down-sleeping-bag.html

 

Exactly!
I even tried to get one of their refurb 20 degree bags for a "make offer" price on ebay but they didn't go for my price. So might as well go with new.

 

650 duck down. A great economy bag. I have duck down in my UQ.

 

You shared the oversized bag, the Costco deal is the regular. Still a great deal compared to their listed retail.

If only their duo sleeping bag was on that kind of sale. That is the item I searched hard for good deals this season but saw nothing!

Let us know what you think of this klymit. Their regular price is great anyway at Costco!

 

I'm already a fan of the Klymit Static V pads.

Is this the one you're talking about?

LOL in their product photos they have a couple in the back of a Taco...

 

Backcountry price matched Mountain steals pricing for the double Big Agnes Big Creek: 30 degree synthetic: Pumped to get it for $151.

Anyone have any recommendations or know of any double sleeping bag liners?

Thanks! Not sure how I missed that, I have one of their single liners and like it.

Thanks again!

 

Stitches come out in 9 days. Hopefully that will be the start of PT and recovery. Not sure if I already posted this but turned out I had a much more significant full tear vs the small tear the MRI showed. Nothing like what Adam has had to deal with but this has sucked. At least with my hip replacements I was up and moving right away. To make things worse I tipped the knee scooter the other day and out of instinct I braced my fall with the boot.

New plan is rehab and hopefully start small again late spring. Summer camping/wheeling trip to Colorado then resume azt in fall.

Happy new year's and happy trails everyone.

 

Speedy recovery! To add to my list of 2018 shit, I accidentally bit my cheek while eating lunch last week and took out a huge half dollar chunk of flesh. It actually severed an artery and I had to go to the ER and got over 50 stitches in my face. That side of my mouth was numb and I didn't even know i bit it that bad except for the fountain of blood out of my mouth. My truck, house and hospital room looked like a murder scene not to mention my face looked like I just ate a raw human. Here's to 2019 hopefully not having any more shit like that!

 

Jesus man let's hope not.

 

Oh and my wife and I are getting a divorce. 2018 can fuck off.

 

Adam, I’m really sorry to hear that. It’s an all too common occurrence these days.
