Hey Gus, you have any idea why Guyot Designs closed down their Facebook page? Any whispers in the wind of them being shut down or bought out? Inquiring minds want to know.

Hey Derek,

Let me ask a few industry folks on Monday. Might have some more insight.
 
I specialized in linguistics and code breaking in the military and after further breaking down the above message we find;

We enjoy sadomasochism and so our lives and careers needs to take another direction.

Hope this helps.

Hey HS, so I assume you're leaning towards roominess and comfort rather than low weight an d packability?

Oh, that's good!:D
 
Hmm? I might have to brush up on my linguistics because what I got out of that was "never try to rub one out in front of an oncoming bullet train no matter how much you enjoy it".
 
No worries, Depending on dialect its still pretty close.

And if the bullet train operator was in on it, then thats one serious S&M case there!
 
Hunter - Bass pro house brand 10x10 is a decent tent under $100 -- don't know the actual cost because when I bought mine a couple of years ago i had a gift card and it was on sale, so I got out the door for right around that c-note after SWMBO was done clothes shopping. (love their end of season clearance sales!)

Ok, some pics first you'll need a loop at the bottom of your pack, commonly called an ice axe loop. Slide your hawk in like the hammer in the picture, orient it so that the blade is pointed the direction of the hammer claw.

Then lift it up and attach it to the pack with some sort of lashing, in this case it's a velcro strip the maker put here for this purpose, like so.

Now the hawk is contained about as safely as possible, it won't go anywhere, the risk to injury is minimized, it won't catch on stuff while you're rambling around, and the heavy part is low on your pack which helps the center of gravity/balance.

Erik, here ya go. I hope you will sleep better tonight knowing you have prevented a potential injury;)--Thank you for the tip!!!!!!:thumbup:
I dropped the hawk down through the last loop of the lacing/cinch cord. I was going to flip it over and tie it down with the ends of the lacing/cinch cord but it prevented the flap from closing completely over the side pocket. Instead, I used a nylon strap I always keep as a spare in my kit and looped it through one of the cross laces.

Then as you said I inverted it while it was still in the loop and tightened the nylon strap---It feels very secure.

AJ Squared Away, that looks good. Now I can rest... lol :) Same technique works with a minor modification to hatchets and single bladed axes.
