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.

A Hatchet With the Soul of an Axe: Hults Bruk Spika Review
  One day after school when I was 14, I took my grandfather’s hatchet and ladder, and meticulously chopped and bucked a 20-foot-tall pine tree in our backyard. Starting from the top and moving my way down, I removed the limbs and then the trunk in 18-inch sections. By the time I was done, I had two neat piles of logs...

The longer snow builds up, loading a slope, the greater the threat to anyone below it or within its runout zone.
