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.

Introducing the 1Up USA Moto Rack: Safe, Secure, and Bike Friendly
  Its rare to find a moto rack that accommodates bicycles, and almost unheard of to find a bike rack that accommodates motorbikes. Hauling both can be cumbersome, with bikes mounted on the car and the motorcycle towed on a trailer, meaning that often, people will choose between bringing one or the other on their adventures.   Enter the 1Up Moto Rack...

Hand assembly means focusing on one knife at a time, ensuring each is tuned for the best quality and performance....

Sometimes Sequels Are Better: Big Idea Design’s Ti Pocket Knife II
  The world of knives continues to evolve and change to meet modern demands, inviting new designs and materials along the way. Perhaps coincidentally, a growing trend sees some great knives coming from brands that aren’t specifically knife manufacturers.   Where once customers only sought out and celebrated established knife brands, the industry now sees a movement toward brands that focus on...
Beast of a Blade: Boker Plus Thicker Clipper Review
  As someone who has carried a knife with him since he was a kid, I have always struggled with the limitations of some knives. I recognize that knives are used for cutting and slicing. However, we’ve all got a bit of neanderthal in us, and sometimes you just want to chop and pry with a knife.   Recognizing that we’re all...
KUIU HD Mud Boots Handle Tough Terrain With Surprising Support
  When you’re covering serious miles in unpredictable terrain, your boots aren’t just footwear; they’re gear. And like any gear, they must perform, hold up over time, and keep you comfortable.   I wore the KUIU HD Mud Boots through an entire hunting season in Montana, putting them to the test across creeks, rocky ridgelines, deep snow, and muddy fields. After more...
Old West EDC With Modern Flair: Wheat State Cutlery ‘Peacemaker’ Review
  As I opened the box, I knew in an instant I was in for a treat. Nestled inside was a gorgeous leather zippered pouch. Lifting it out from the box, I saw a thin plastic bag with what looked to be stickers. Under that, I found a nifty coin embossed with Wheat State Cutlery’s logo.   Decorative bells and whistles like...
Montana National Guard Investigates Alleged Unauthorized Blackhawk Helicopter Landing, Antler Theft
  Witnesses report a Montana Army National Guard UH-60L Blackhawk helicopter landed without prior notice on private property in the Crazy Mountains near Melville, Mont., on May 4, 2025. The crew reportedly collected elk antlers during the unauthorized landing, which triggered investigations by state wildlife officials and the National Guard, according to The Livingston Enterprise and other local news outlets.   Neighboring...
Art Deco EDC Knife: CRKT ‘Blackout’ Mbombo Review
  I avoid using the phrase functional art in my knife reviews because its unspecific and potentially misleading. But I am hard-pressed to classify designer Darriel Caston’s knives any other way. Everything he churns out is as wonderful to look at as it is to use.   In 2024, CRKT released both the Minimal X and the limited-edition Mbombo, both based off...
The EDC Knife Capable Enough for the Hunt: Benchmade Taggedout G10
  If you’re going to invest in a premium hunting knife, you should consider its overall utility. If you can carry it to work and to the backcountry, you’ll stomach that initial sticker shock a bit better than you might a highly specialized knife.   This is especially true for hunters who need a rugged hunting knife but can’t justify spending a...
Case Knife Celebrates Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s 100th Anniversary
  Thru-hikers and knife collectors take note: This pocketknife collaboration has a small run, and all proceeds support a good cause.   Case Knives collaborated with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) to create a knife that honors the organization’s 100th anniversary. The Limited Edition A.T. Diamond Case Trapper Knife pays homage to the trail on its handle with the iconic A.T. diamond...
Exclusive Steel, Snappy Action: Microtech UTX-85 OTF Review
  I was 9 years old the first time I saw The Warriors. Admittedly, I was a bit young by today’s standards for that sort of film, but the early 1980s were a very different time. Not only was that movie my first look at (outlandishly Hollywood) inner-city turf wars, it was also the first time I remember seeing a switchblade....
