I actually started on making an update a couple weeks ago, but hadn't finished some other stuff and wanted to update it all at once. Now I'm thinking again about changing some other things.Time for some updates?
I removed the water bottles from the bags because they were sweating. I didn't have issues with them freezing and coming open, just with temperature changes and condensation. I put a Nalgene bottle in each bag and now have a Katadyn Hike Pro in my main bag. I still have the two 3L bottles in the box though.LOL - I had some suggestions however since the original post was last year I figured I would hold off until the update is out. Did you stick with the water bottles or go a different route? I have the Mainstay water packs in my bags really saves on the room.
I used to have space on a server, but my login no longer works. So, what's there is there.What do you use to upload pics? I used to use tinypic but you have to have an account now.
I want to do a review of my new pack and do a bag overview in here.
We are leaning that way as well. The poly is light and strong but the tarps will serve a purpose as well. Shelter from all the elements is the issue. Dry and warm. That will go a long way.
