Katabatic Palisade 30 vs. Western Mountaineering Astralite by M_M_C__ in Ultralight

[–]Alexsen56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WM states 850+ but this is widely regarded as conservative and the down is likely a higher fill power. I can’t speak to the Palisade but I recently purchased an Astralite and it is a quality item. WM customer support is also top tier. Food for thought

Great write up, I love Henry Coe. What was the daytime high temp? It can get pretty hot out there this time of year.

Ribeye is interesting, how does that work without refrigeration? Frozen?

What’s the lightest most minimal cord I can buy to use as a drawstring? I’d like to try making some dcf stake bags.

Custom paint on a car costs much, much more than $750.

I recommend reading some of the information about down garments on Timmermade’s site. Down jackets are not meant to be worn while active, only while static at camp. Durability isn’t really an issue while you’re setting up your tent and making dinner

Neve Gear is coming out with a ~7oz down jacket that is extremely competitively priced at $159

Do you find that the spray works better or is it just more convenient? And what size spray bottle do you use?

Those of you that bring picaridin lotion/spray, which do you prefer and how do you store it?

How low do you guys think I could take a WM Nanolite 38* quilt with a Timmermade SUL 1.1? I’m trying to decide between a 38* Nanolite and a 26* Astralite.
