Who has the tag? First trip with the Hunter platform? Have a great time. Send reports. Wenaha? If yes, then jealous.

another member has the tag. not sure if he'll make a thread or anything. yep, wenaha again. im going to run the arrows in my frame so essentially the UL platform. we'll see how it does. in my testing/training, 65lbs seems to be the upper end of comfort for them, but our packout shouldnt be too bad. we'll send updates to ya  :hello:

What all do you have for clothes there?
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Cool.  Thought that might be a bit much if it were all packed  :chuckle:

Thanks for posting, I always like seeing others' setup.  Nothing like the confidence to buy something or shed something

How do you like the Pelton 240? Been looking at possibly buying one?

i really like the 240. for me, its the perfect addition to my kit. i had been running around in my puffy jacket too much and this fills that need nicely. its proven pretty durable so far, the wenaha tends to be pretty hard on gear..
