Here's the sleep system I used this winter. I wouldn't recommend it much past -5C, but I was fine with that low temp.

I actually made my own windscreen to specifically fit the Toaks 550ml mug from a thin piece of titanium. I use this windscreen with the gas canister stove during windy conditions. I know many have voiced safety issues about using a screen with a gas stove, but I never turn it up on high. It actually helps dramatically when conditions are very windy or I'm on a ridgeline. The design would also work with an esbit or short alcohol stove, such as a Solo or Trangia.

thedayhascomePretty impressive. I’ve used that pack as a daysack before. Care to expound on your 3 day food list and stove setup?

Here is what was in my backpack on one of my last hikes last season before winter hit. Had a BPW of 1705 grams (3.76 lb)

abelaNice kit! The cold, wet PNW winter has me thinking about summer and shaving some gear weight. Unfortunately, I can't safely backpack in the high country here without at least a torso-length sleeping pad (if sleeping on the ground with a quilt), and bear canister requirements are crippling when trying to stay ultralight! Maybe DannyMilks can get Ursack on Massdrop (and convince the NPS they're legit)!

idoc72Yeah it has been raining like mad down here in the Redwoods over the winter season. I was at least prepared for rain on that trip, thankfully it did not. I hear you on the sleeping pad, it is getting harder and harder on my body each season to go out without a neoair. i hear you on the bear canisters. i just try to stay away from those areas. And, yeah, the NPS/SP needs to get their head out of their *** and approve the Ursack AllWhite nation wide.

Here is most of my gear, minus a few things in the laundry or that I forgot to get out of a closet (quick dry pants, UL equinox full length poncho, socks, t-shirt).
As I noted in another post, a fair amount of this was acquired under varying circumstances, so probably not an ideal setup, and I do not know all the weights, but it meets my needs for the most part.
From back left to right front: -REI Quarter Dome UL tent -Jansport Big Bear 82 backpack -3/4-length ridge rest sleeping pad -Keen waterproof boots (comfy, and are also my regular around town shoes in the winter) -1 L bottle (came with steripen) and 1 L Playpus bottle -Kovea Supalite stove and fuel -Stoic 750 mL pot -Gerber 450 knife (on top of pot) -Steripen water purifier -Toothbrush -GSI insulated mug (fits inside pot perfectly) and Vargo spork -Bag of food -Alpaca sweater
“Essentials bag”: cord for hanging food bag, Commonly used first aid items, fire starter, polar pure iodine water purifier, wool hat, emergency blanket, handkerchief, Suunto MC-2 compass, bag with pen + white duct tape, emergency contact/medical information, thermometer, small watch, Princeton tec headlamp
-Long-brim hat -Garbage compactor bag (aka, waterproof backpack liner) -Mini expedition, homemade first aid kit in dry bag -Mountain hardware Lyell sleeping bag, with stuff sack (yes, it is huge, I know).

DannyMilksThanks @DannyMilks. I thought I would come back to this post, although I haven't had time to lay out or weigh all my gear again. Since this picture, I have been using a smaller pack more (a Mountainsmith PCT 45) and sharing the sleeping bag, i.e. using it as a quilt. It is still huge, but at least virutually cuts the weight in half by helping two people stay warm. Also went to a Klymit air pad I bought here on Massdrop, which is very comfortable compared to the foam.

Aww, man. My bag is currently mid transit (being traded for another). I really want to revisit this discussion at a later point. Patience is a virtue, I suppose.

Oh yeah, my Kupilka. Great for hot chocolate, oatmeal, single malt, even water!

I'll get this kick started. Here's most of my gear for my trip this weekend:
I'm guiding a group up Mount Shasta. It's a three-day trip, all on snow except for the first two miles. Temps will range from below freezing to high 70s. We start our summit bid at 2am, and we walk slowly, so I need warmer gear than if I was doing this trip by myself. I also need more safety gear as a guide. Not shown are my food and kitchen setup, which are provided by my guide company.
Here are a few of the key items: -Mountainsmith Mountainlite Specter LT pack (4500 cu in, 68 oz) -Massdrop Custom 20' Down Quilt (20 oz) -Massdrop x Klymit UL Insulated Static V Pad (16.9 oz) and pillow (1.7 oz) -Black Diamond HiLight (49 oz) -Modified Adventure Medical Kits UL/WT Pro -Rab clothing: Endurance Parka, Xenon Hoody, Meco Hoody, Sawtooth Pants
-Switching out my boots from Scarpa Summit to Scarpa ZeroG XCR -Buying a lighter BD helmet and harness -Buying a lighter, simpler mid-layer than the Rab Xenon, possibly hoodless and with fewer pockets

I had ULA build me a custom CDT with no hip belt, or pole/ice axe attachments. It's large and weighs 16.something ounces. Love the S shoulder straps.

Completely surprised by the lack of blade diversity here on Drop...
I’ve been a collector of Blades since before my teens, and a retailer coming up on 15… or maybe 20 years. Drop has really been kind of an interesting experience for me, because I do occasionally get to see some unusual tech and sometimes EDC items that otherwise I might not have been aware of. And maybe it’s because I have a deep love of cutlery and bladed weapons, but I find myself trolling through the site looking at it what’s available; and it’s just it’s pretty much the same. And the bladed community here is just always confused me.. every single knife is about the same, they’re almost all drop points and although the handle materials change and brands change.. it’s really just the same knife over and over and over again... occasionally you’ll see a tanto or a slight variant; but rarely… and almost never a serrated blade. And I’m just deeply amazed at this diversion of serrated blades. And I’m just surprised there isn’t more of a request for diversity here.... and I...

Can we get Sony E-Mount or other mirrorless camera options please..
Would be nice to see some Sony E mount full frame cameras on here. I currently shoot with a A99 and they killed the lense path for better or more option lenses and now is all E-Mount. 🤔

There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars). The story of that auction is well-known so I'll only...
