MAIN Graphite 20

Looking for a well-sized dry bag to accompany you on a spring cast and blast? Check out the Graphite 20 dry bag/backpack hybrid, from Alps Mountaineering. 

Most dry bags, although functional, can be awkward to carry, and are certainly are not designed for hiking. The Graphite 20, however, presents dry-bag functionality in an easy-to-carry backpack configuration. This diversity allows the Graphite 20 to serve as a conventional dry bag for vehicle camping, canoeing, and kayaking adventures, or as a minimalist backpack for short-duration hiking trips.

Made of durable and waterproof 300D polyester ripstop, the pack features a roll-top closure and compression straps to secure contents and prevent water intrusion. A padded back panel and adjustable shoulder straps address the comfort factor, while a full-length daisy chain provides exterior attachment points.

Offered in gray with black accents, the Graphite 20 has a 20L capacity, weighs one pound, eight ounces., and measures 5x22x24 inches (18-inches rolled).

Hardware Review: Browning BAR MK 4 Hunter

First, the Browning Automatic Rifle addressed in this article is not the renowned 1918 BAR of military fame. I’ve actually seen an American Rifleman editor hunt hogs with a reproduction 1918 BAR. While it was a spectacle to behold, it’s probably not the optimal choice for the deer woods, but hey, who am I to judge? The Browning BAR we’re talking about in this article is the iconic hunting rifle.
