Awesome shirt!!

Backcountry.com Provo Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Backcountry.com Provo Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 16, 2012

I'm 6'4" and 250 lbs. and the XXL fits me about perfectly so go big if you're not sure what size to get. The shirt itself is very comfortable and stretchy so it doesn't restrict movement like other button ups sometimes do. Another nice feature I've found is that the material doesn't hold on to wrinkles. I've had this shirt bunched up in a corner on the floor for days and when I put it on it looked like I just ironed it. It's also looks nice so as long as you don't need a tie you should be good to wear it. It's also dries really quick.

Pretty good and simple to use

Eagles Nest Outfitters SlapStrap Pro - 20mm

Eagles Nest Outfitters SlapStrap Pro - 20mm

Rating for this product: 4 April 16, 2012

These are the easiest straps for hanging up hammocks that I have ever used. It only takes a few minutes to get things set up and they're super easy to adjust. With that being said I have had some problems with slipping before. I found that if you wrap the straps around the tree twice instead of once it helps or if you can wrap them around a tree just above a branch then you won't slip down past the branch. All in all a very easy system to use that is lightweight.

Me likey

Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest Hammock

Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest Hammock

Rating for this product: 5 April 16, 2012

I love this hammock. I'm 6'4" and 250 lbs. and this hammock fits me really well. It doesn't have a lot strings at the ends to tangle, it only has a single rope on either end of the fabric so you don't have to be super careful while putting it away. If you add a set of Slap Strap Pro with it you'll be set to have a quick and easy set-up that is also fairly light weight.

Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest Hammock

April 16, 2012

All lot of hammocks are designed to be laid in diagonally, which straightens out your spine and gives you the horizontal position you're looking for.

ENO does have a mosquito net that you can set up with the hammock. I'm not sure if Backcountry sells it though. They also have a DoubleNest that is treated with an odorless insect repellent.

Rating for this product: 5 April 16, 2012

This cot is awesome. It's super easy to set up and take down, it folds into it's self and you don't have to take it apart at all. It's also incredibly sturdy. The way the legs unfold maximizes both front to back and side to side stability. I'm 6'4" and 250 lbs. and it holds me comfortably, I can't sprawl out but I'm not uncomfortable in the least.

Great Bag

Marmot Col EQ Sleeping Bag:  -20 Degree Down

Marmot Col EQ Sleeping Bag: -20 Degree Down

Rating for this product: 4 April 27, 2009

This is an excellent bag. My friend who was 6'6" said it was a little small for him and he was using the long. Also it is definitely too warm for year round any conditions weather. If you sleep with it unzipped than you should be ok in warmer conditions, but other wise this is a excellent winter bag.
