UCP Goretex bivy died with Rit DyeMore Sandstone. The undyed one is brand new. The dyed one was slightly used.

I brought a 6 gallon pot to a rolling boil on a campfire, removed it from the heat, added 1 bottle of dye, added the bivy, and covered it. I agitated it a few times in the first 45 minutes, then let it sit for about 4 hours.

lol almost all bags have plate pockets. They're called laptop pockets. And that'll be $400 plus tip, please! Don't forget you can rapidly deploy the bag as armor by -- wearing it on your front!

I have an old level IIIA panel in the innocuous Jansport bag I carry to community college. (I'm switching careers at 50.) As a bonus it acts like a frame sheet, making the bag carry better.

Do you know if they're not doing great, financially? This whole idea is quarter-assed and IMO is "yo I fucked my check up on fan duel and need to make the rent" type activity.

Are sling packs too "Grey Man"?

>>65278380
You stand out wearing them, yes. I just went to the outdoor mall and counted nobody wearing one of those. Small backpacks, yes. Laptop bags, yes. Hiker dude with a 60L looking Oakley out by a fifteen year old subaru forester with temo tags and a donut? yes.
That fuckin' diaper bag? no.
