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.

The Hunt for Sound: How Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids Brought the Outdoors Back to Life
  I used to hear everything: the crunch of boots on frosted grass; the unlimited hum of billions of little wings; the flick of a mule deer’s tail as it vanished into the brush; the smallest disruption in the flow of stream water.

Stop Drifting, Keep Fishing: Power-Pole Micro Anchor Review

After I installed the Power-Pole Micro Anchor, that frustration vanished.    However, I still had many questions, like, “How durable is it?” “Will the battery pack last a full day of fishing?”...
I Tried Camping in My Own Backyard. It Was Way Harder Than I Thought.
  I’ve slept on glaciers, mountains, beaches, and—more than once—under roadside bushes mid-hitchhike to a trailhead. But few camps have required more preparation than my latest: one night in a backyard in a bougie Chicago suburb.   Let me explain.   In normal times I live deep in the Wisconsin Northwoods with a team of sled dogs. But for the past few months,...
Wearable Tech is Good. But Listening to Your Body Is Still Better.
  If I told you that NASA has developed a radical new way of monitoring and quantifying your workouts, and that that method outperforms all others, you’d probably assume that it involves bleeding-edge science. There would be AI, and some sort of wearable or perhaps even injectable technology. It would be very expensive.   But you’d be wrong, for reasons that tell...
