It's at Heart Lake in the Goat Rocks Wilderness accessed via the Lilly Basin trail. The valley below is the Middle Fork of Johnson Creek. Took this pic of my wife in 2010 on a 4 day backpack trip in the GRW.

Netcoyote, where do you get one of those? 

Forget it - way over budget........... 

I assume you guys are referring to the tent....right? 

What tent?

I dont get it. Whats it for?

 :yeah:looks kinda cool but what would you use it for in huntn?

says at the top they wont accept orders from US residents

I still want to know what the lazer is for? And why a US resident cant buy it-may be its a real deadly tool i have been missing out on

Yea, I agree. Been with this lady for 25 years. One of the toughest outdoor people I know. We spent about 15 years climbing all over the state; climbed Liberty Ridge on Rainier with her in '94 (see pic). That tent was on every major peak in the state including several nights on the Rainier crater during an extended trip.

I missed it by a ridge.  Love that country.

Depending on the wattage, it could be used to start fires.  They also make great signal devices for S&R.  But it is a heavy alternative to carry hunting.

It does start fires, and is the best signaling device, Its not a standard point and shoot laser that only projects on its target, Its a solid beam. Weighs less than a pound, Also cool entertainment. Also additional attachments to turn it into a flashlight.

That is seriously a very tough question, one that truly has 2 answers, for me anyway.

Either my 10x Leica Geovids or my box of baby butt wipes............. .

By the way guys, after reading your glowing reviews i bought a pair of those lorpen socks. Not sold. Scratchy seam across the top of my toes was no fun. But other than that pretty good.  I think Im sticking to smartwool, though I still havent tried darn tough.  Maybe a different line of lorpen would be better? I bought these:

I have never worn any of the casual work socks.  Every one I've ever purchased has an arch wrap and heal pad. Sorry to hear those were not good for you.  Really surprised about the seam.  That is usually the best part of a Lorpen sock and why I started wearing them in the first place.
