Big Sky Country

I received the parts. It's very helpful to be able to get these small parts later.

The best tent I've ever had. Used it during my 1,5-year-long backpacking trip, sometimes in really harsh conditions, in the mountains, in downpours and in gale-force winds.

The old one started getting too old though, after 9 years of intensive use. What a disappointment now - I can't order the same version any more. The breathable fabric option has been unavailable for many months. Mesh is unacceptable for me as I need the tent for windy and cold conditions too. Any chances of the fabric coming back?

I own 3 UL pillows but this one is by far the best. It is the lightest, widest, and has a natural curve to the center which keeps your head stable throughout the night. Best part is that with the concave center I don’t lose my pillow from under my head in. The middle of the night - a common problem with other UL pillows. I love throwing my BUFF / neck gator around it as a pillow case as well. This is the best UL pillow out there. Hands down.

I just spent two weeks backpacking with this and the Deluxe - yes, I took two pillows...because they're light enough to take two pillows! I was surprised at just how comfortable a TPU inflatable could be - perfectly spaced / placed divots for your head, great size, and no "balloon" feeling like I've gotten with other simple inflatables. I slipped a buff over it for softness against my skin and it worked like a charm - excellent ultralight option when you want a little comfort!!

I am a backpacking pillow snob and have tried them all, both as a gear reviewer and as a frequent backpacker. I just returned from a two-week trip using the Deluxe and I experienced the best sleep I've EVER had on trail, hands down. The attached strap kept the pillow in place all night (I use a Thermarest NeoAir XLite with the slightly curved top), and the baffled design with the two divots created kind of a perfect cradle for my head. The cover felt good against my skin, and the light layer of insulation gave it additional softness. I was able to sleep comfortably on my side and on my stomach. Just an all-around fantastic pillow - truly a game changer for me, sleep-wise!!!

This will work very well. Not only is it ver lightweight, its put together well and will be fantastic at handling repacked mre’s on my climbing trip. Based on reviews I’ve read, some people try to put the entire mre packet in a larger pouch. But youll save more weight if just repack the meals into quart size ziolock freezer bags. This size works PERFECT. A much better alternative to hyperlites exceptionally small pouch.

Much better than my homemade reflectix and duct tape one, and lighter too!

I now have two,
His and Hers.

This is simply the best tent I have ever had for bike packing in variable temperatures. I have literally covered thousands one miles and crossed numerous continents with the Chinook 1P tent and have been recommending Big Sky International tents to everyone I meet! Definitely well worth buying

These are the lightest handiest freeze dried meal pouches on the market. Helps rehydration of the meal and extends heat retention so the meals aren’t cold by the time you get to the bottom. Highly recommend!

Simple, yet effective! The insulated pouch is so handy and the small size is made to perfectly fit quart sized freezer bags and only weighs ONE ounce.

I purchased a medium non dyneema pouch. It holds a Mountain House 2 serving meal perfectly, and keeps it warm while eating. As a bonus, I can hold the pouch while the food is in it. Packs up small, and has small loops to keep it in shape while packed. All in all, it is a very nice unit. I had one I made, and this replaced it. Keeps the food just as warm as the homemade one... Packs far tighter than the homemade one.

Ordered all 3 sizes. Superlight and fold up easily. They can be used for several different purposes. Seem to work well keeping items hot or cold. Highly recommended.
