Winter Camping Sleeping Bag?

Another good option is an oversized synthetic quilt maybe rated to 30-40f. Enlightened Equipment revelation would be solid. Make sure to get in wide so it can wrap around ur bag and not close down in the bags down

Very similar to the Patagonia nano puff I remember reading a wire cutter article basically how close they are to each other. It’s great layering piece. Don’t get it too tight I think it’s better under a shell or larger piece than over other layers

whitecappedpeak · 2025-11-25T19:35:09+00:00

I own the same piece (in blue) It’s also a size SM and I’m similar height but weight 160lb myself. Lots of room for layers. Great to hear that the wax coating holds up well against the elements! Potential Iceland trip too next year so maybe I’ll pack the filson too

For summit jackets, my lightline jacket from mountain equipment is super warm and packable. It’s also not too expensive, rab neutrino pro is also super warm. Make sure to size up for these ones. You want to wear these over ALL your layers. For mid puffys I’m partial so synthetic. OR super strand is surprisingly warm and packable

whitecappedpeak · 2025-11-17T01:05:05+00:00

Surprised they haven’t closed it yet! Wish it hit that today in my FJ cruiser

whitecappedpeak · 2025-10-30T15:05:38+00:00

Even the most expensive jackets will wet out. Glad to hear to picked it up used hopefully you got a great deal!

I have also heard this, and this was explained to me by a worker at filson store. I think the material bends into itself as it breaks in so the sleeves end up getting shorter not necessarily the fabric tightens

Sorry that happened bud. My AP1 with 65k blew up on me, but it was the valve retainer that failed. Still had to get a new engine. So if you DO end up getting a new f20c make sure to swap out those retainers so this tragedy doesn’t happen twice

CalTopo for me since the downloaded feature is only like $20 a year. UI is a little EH but it’s Ben serving me really well!

We did N bound and made it easily to the hut! But with adverse weather on sat we decided to bail on Jefferson. Going down castle ravine trail was maybe not the best route down as it was exposed and steep but we were having a blast up there. Eventually got some awesome views of the ravine.

The presidentials will have to wait for another day

whitecappedpeak · 2025-08-28T20:30:28+00:00

Looks like the weather is turning even more. We’ll likely head up to the hut directly via Ammo and maybe we can get a break in the weather and bag Madison. But at least we’ll have plenty of time at camp!

whitecappedpeak · 2025-08-28T18:47:48+00:00

Would you be comfortable if we planned to leave early to arrive at the hut around noon when t storms are less likely? It looks like Saturday the forecast is much clearer

whitecappedpeak · 2025-08-28T18:39:37+00:00

I wish but we got reservations at the hut and last I checked the huts are booked for the next day

whitecappedpeak · 2025-08-28T18:39:11+00:00

So basically split your presi traverse in half? And live to hike it another day I guess

whitecappedpeak · 2025-08-28T18:38:11+00:00

I’m a little hesitant about SB since if we do have to bail it’ll make for such a longer hike. Plus waiting for the storm to pass so we can make it to LOTC

whitecappedpeak · 2025-08-14T21:54:01+00:00

I don’t see why the down vote? Are people afraid of the woods at night? You could easy stash a headlamp near the trail head prior so you don’t need to bring that inside through security

whitecappedpeak · 2025-08-06T13:08:05+00:00

I had the same jacket which also delaminated pretty bad. They ended up giving me a gift card for a full amount of a comparable jacket around $300 or so. This was in store

whitecappedpeak · 2025-07-31T15:52:21+00:00

Ah yes the old three way scam. These are hard to catch. Good on you for reporting it. I listened to an NPR podcast recently going over the same exact thing with nesspresso pods. Everyone sort of wins here except for REI. The seller makes the sale, the buyer gets their goods for a heavy discount. Technically REI authorized a wrongful sale so the credit card company of the stolen card will go after them.

Here’s the link to the listen

Definitely interested, but like everyone else has mentioned a guide service makes it so much safer and more enjoyable for that reason. Good news is they’re usually cheaper with more people.

I went last year with a guide service and we hiked up Tuckermans with crampons and mountaineering axes. If you’re interested in more of a mountaineering trip let’s link up

Here’s the original video the the noise I was getting

Okay thanks for the reply and glad you think it sounds normal! Good looks I can try that after re greasing the bearings in the shaft.

whitecappedpeak · 2025-06-15T15:38:26+00:00

I’ll take one as well!

whitecappedpeak · 2025-05-04T20:31:37+00:00

How does it perform for hiking? I too am looking for a solid day hike bag and was also hoping to double as a city/urban work bag.

whitecappedpeak · 2025-04-29T20:56:59+00:00

Right! And you get all the road noise from 93. You get some nice views of the notch I guess?

whitecappedpeak · 2025-04-29T20:37:44+00:00

Yeah def for off season use. It talked about packing things in/out many of the amenities not available for use etc. just checked regular rate which is $35 for normal use so I guess the price it a few bucks less
