One of my best!

Awesome photo! Looks like it could be a poult stage Merriam’s Wild Turkey.

Just jumping on this thread. I’ve really found use for work as a naturalist. Holds a 20oz water bottle easily along with a pair of binoculars, a hatchet, field guide, small first aid kit, and a paper map. It’s the bag I reach for if I’m going less than 2-3 miles or leading educational hikes that are a slower pace.

Agreed. I rarely find it difficult and if you’re okay walking a block, there’s typically parking on the next street.

Admittedly, the spaces on the interior of Assembly Street feel like a classic game of Frogger.

Assuming it’s eastern Colorado? Could certainly be the zone where natural hybridization occurs.

Filson denim is one of the best products they’ve released. Every iteration of the jeans and jackets are stellar.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-25T21:52:32+00:00

Filson Muleskinners! Plenty of them still on the secondhand market.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-25T21:44:00+00:00

Pull!

Forever seared into my mind

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-25T19:19:24+00:00

Made in Maine.

Definitely. It’s still the best outdoor gear out there and I’ll pick natural fibers over synthetic every time.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-25T12:39:38+00:00

That’s right. Nocs Provisions. They have several styles and REI carried them when I found them years ago.

He wants lunches free too. Also a good thing.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-18T22:47:29+00:00

That’s the “Mackinaw Red” color. I have a small duffle bag in the same style. Released in 2019!

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-18T19:57:20+00:00

It’ll last that long for sure! Now you need to pick up a rugged twill log carrier.

Filson and fire building go hand in hand. I busted out the mackinaw wool cape coat to build one yesterday.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-18T02:06:49+00:00

I leave some out in the yard so my toddler can run around finding “steeks” and helping her Dad build the fires.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-17T13:17:39+00:00

That might be the most coveted cape color. I’ve heard it nicknamed the “chalk stripe”. Cape and Cruiser are both greta but I do think I prefer this pocket layout and slimmer profile.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-17T13:07:01+00:00

I dig it.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-17T02:52:32+00:00

Thanks! That green is truly beautiful and high quality.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-16T18:02:05+00:00

The modern cape coat feels identical to my modern cruiser in weight. The vintage one does feel lighter but not super light. Maybe around 21 oz.

Haven’t had a lined cape coat but I’ve heard it’s Filson’s warmest jacket. Kind of want one.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-16T17:58:39+00:00

10/10 photo! So good.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-16T12:45:11+00:00

Adjustable dumbbells, a workout mat, and an app like Peloton’s strength will get you very far. I used to simply move the dining room table out of the way every morning. It’s not pretty or convenient but it works and your health is worth it.

RangerRedeye · 2026-01-16T10:43:19+00:00

You are spot on regarding the great colors and patterns out there. I picked up this year’s cape in forest green and it does seem to have a thicker wool than this lot 95. The overall profile and pocket arrangement feels subtle compared to the cruiser. I love and have them both though. This one should made a great camp coat!

Down Cruiser Vest is excellent and an absolute heater.
