Mostly sharing because I giggled at the article headline about a spreadsheet.

After the conclusion of the 2023 Major League Rugby season, to kick off the End of Season Awards, here is a closer look at the All-MLR First Team.

I've had an absolute overkill vault for years and intend to switch to a sack (obvs unless the area has aggressive bears and/or the park specifies vaults are required).

What would you add as a luxury item to take up the newly available weight and volume? Currently leaning towards a lightweight backpacking chair. Getting up off the ground and having a backrest after a long days backpacking sounds great.

I have a 36L bag, so the vault takes up A LOT of the volume. And I shoot for midweight, say <20lbs dry weight.

Option 2, but vetoed by my frequent adventure buddy, was harmonicas for some nighttime jams. I can't play harmonica, so backwoods camp seemed like a good place to practice.

First significant post since coming over from Rexxit. Photos from a recent two-night trip through the Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area in Western Colorado. We nailed the timing; biting bugs weren't too bad and while it was starting to get warm, the heat wasn't overwhelming yet.
