Apache GWS
$665.00 - $710.00
Description

  15 degrees of windproof, water-resistant boundary-pushing; narrow cut

  The Western Mountaineering Apache GWS is built with attitude! This windproof, highly water-resistant and breathable 15° F bag won't take no for an answer as it pushes the bounds of what a late-summer/early-fall bag can do. A full 3-dimensionally sewn down-filled collar seals in heat when the weather takes a turn for the worse. The slim, heat-efficient cut lets you warm up the bag quickly and makes for a light, compressible package. 19 oz. of high lofting down pumps up a durable 6" of loft. The Apache GWS is a very efficient package that is built like a pint-sized winter bag. At a total weight of around 2 lbs 6 oz, you'll be amazed just how much cold these bags will tame.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, the Apache GWS is made by hand in San Jose, California. Their down is sourced from free-range mother geese who are never live-plucked or force-fed.

Footprint sold separately.

Undefeated After 10 Years, This Solar Lantern Still Rules: BioLite Luci Lanterns Review
  Desperate times call for desperate measures. Nearing 10 p.m. and the campfire just hitting its stride, my phone died — along with our tunes. The worse news was that my battery bank hadn’t made it into the truck.   Then a lightbulb, or rather a lantern, lit up — the little inflatable light source illuminating our shindig also had juice to...
Should You Cook With an Induction Stove On Your Next Camping Trip? 
  I just made the switch to an all-electric cooking system for car camping. The setup includes an induction cooktop, which uses an electromagnetic field in lieu of direct heat to cook food. While many people associate induction with lower air pollution or faster cook times, I switched for three different reasons: convenience, packed size, and the ability to “refill” my energy...

Grizzly Recovery Efforts, Once Booming, Now Face Limbo
  Visit a mountain trailhead here in western Montana right now, and you might be treated to an unusual sight: car-size white cylinders. Those are grizzly capture devices, and they’re being staged ahead of a summer-long effort to count the bears and evaluate the ongoing success of a 40-year plan to restore their population across the northern Rockies. This year may be...
Comfortable Pack Puts Safety Up Front: Gregory Paragon 60 Backpack Review
  As I ascended the trail in Northern Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, day hikers flowed past me heading back to the trailhead in the late afternoon sun. My group forged ahead into the backcountry for the night. On my back, the newly designed Gregory Paragon lightweight backpack held all of my gear comfortably as I climbed.   The Paragon is designed for backpackers seeking...
Opinion: Rebranded but Still Rotten, Sen. Mike Lee Updates His Public Land Sell-Off
  Senator Mike Lee is backpedaling sort of.   After proposing a sell-off of 3 million acres of public land, he was met with a massive backlash from hunters, anglers, ranchers, and public land users across the country.   The Senate parliamentarian dealt him another blow, ruling that public land sales can’t be included in the reconciliation package he planned to use to...

A Washington Sheriff Wants to Charge Negligent Hikers for Rescue

In a June 5 Facebook post, the Skamania County Sheriffs Office reported that “despite continued preparedness messaging and warnings of the dangers” of recreating outside, the county had seen a 400 percent increase in SAR incidents...

Senate Parliamentarian Blocks Public Land Sales in Budget Bill
  In a major development for public land advocates, the Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, has ruled that a proposal to sell off federal land cannot be included in the GOP-backed budget reconciliation package.   The decision effectively blocked Senator Mike Lee’s plan to privatize up to 3 million acres of public land as part of the party’s housing initiative, for now.   ...
