Research and Development's the name of the game. I honestly make two or three different designed kits every year. It's weird to get so many e-mails asking advice on kits now, but it happens.


On behalf of your fan club, I thank you!

I tend to make tweaks to my kit after every use, and always make bigger adjustments when the seasons change. It takes me a little while to dial it in when the big season changes happen. It's been an interesting couple of years in that regard. I've put many miles with my day pack and BOB on my back, and done a lot of field testing or gear and gear set ups. It's driving my husband a little nutty I think, to always have a pack or two and various pieces of equipment hanging out in the kitchen and living room. LOL!

Admittedly I did set a lot of stuff on fire.


LOL! My son will come by that stuff naturally. I was the kid who fell in the creek in the winter and got stuck in the tree. My husband, on the other hand, burned down an entire field one summer when he was 10 or 11.
