Matt Kirk( held the AT unsupported record for a while and used to post here on BPL) has a video on his homemade fastpack gear .
Hey Mike
wow thanks for the info! I’ll definitely be watching those videos
still wanting to know everyone’s input on stuff sacks
Im about to start pulling the trigger on gear (tax return ha)
I am still open to lighter weight options when it comes to a shelter but I am keeping in mind if I get away from a poncho/shelter I will need to get different rain gear for if it rains while I’m running.I definitely want full rain and bug coverage. I looked at the MLD bug bivy paired with the gatewood cape – the only thing I was concerned about is the lack of any bathtub floor to keep splashes at bay and the actually pairing of the two products where I know that the serenity nettent pairs well and has a nice bathtub floor.
I am open to a bivy under the gatewood cape just trying to weigh everything.
I think the Gatewood could workout for you- a taller person, not so much
one thing to consider as well is how it would be running in a poncho? I never have, so can’t give any input
