Sierra Designs Sirius 2 person tent sale

Mike — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 18:34:00 +0000

Just a heads up for the camping nuts out there:

Altrec is having a sale on the light weight Sirius 2 tent. I use both Sierra Designs and Mountain Hardwear tents and I can highly recommend both tent makers products in terms of holding up to storms in prolonged use.

Hopefully my fellow outdoor-folk find this a useful deal.

Congress wants you to trade in your old gas guzzler for $4500 credit

The catch is it has to be less than 25 years old, get 18mpg or less and be traded for a vehicle that gets at least 22 mpg.

Crazy gear sale

Looks like Moosejaw is having 20-70% off of Patagonia, Marmot and Mountain Hardwear. Apparently there are some great deals to be had on outdoor gear. Thought I would pass this along since we are in June and a ton of people are probably planning, or have planned camping trips to our great public lands.

Killer deal on Mountain Hardwear Viperine tent

Mike — Sat, 16 May 2009 07:36:40 +0000

This is a smoking deal on a great tent. This was emailed to me from a fellow public land fan. Really cool partly mesh tent with a big vestibule and very good ventilation. The tent is normally around $250 and it’s here for $120. Check the link, because I’m sure it won’t last.

edit: this killer tent is back on sale, but for $149 this time. That’s exceptional.

Altrec Mountain Hardwear sale

I use a Mountain Hardwear Hammerhead 2 tent which is outstanding. Currently, Altrec is having a 15% off sale on all Mountain Hardwear gear. I figure many of the site readers would cash in on this. It looks like they changed the color of the Hammerhead 2 tent. I def prefer the new look. I had the tent in Glacier last fall, and was treated to hail, snow, 50 MPH wind gusts and constant rain. The tent was brilliant through it all.

Gear: Great deal on Marmot Sawtooth 15 degree sleeping bag

Mike — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 23:53:09 +0000

Thought I would let some of you in on a good deal I recieved today. Altrec is having a sale on the Marmot Sawtooth 15 degree down sleeping bag which I picked up for $129 (extra wide and long). that’s an amazing deal. I think they have around 30 or so left. The bag is normally $230 in that configuration. My previous bag was a REI Downtime -20, which after ten years really became a 30 degree bag, so I needed an upgrade. I also purchased a North Face Aleutian 20 degree synthetic to get me through the Rockies this fall and it failed completely. It is more of a 40 degree bag at best. Although I did notice that there was so little insulation in the front of the bag that it may be defective. That said, I have heard complaints from others on this model in that regard.

I spend between 40 and 60 nights of the year in a sleeping bag inside a tent in our great national parks and national forests, and I know others out there looking for a good 3 season fringe bag will jump on this deal.
