Alps Mountaineering continues to grow its line of waterproof storage solutions with the introduction of the new Vapor 16 dry bag/pack.

Designed for hunters and campers who need a low-volume dry bag for keeping select gear safe in a wet environment, or for day hikers who need reliable protection in an easy-to-carry platform, the Vapor 16 answers the call.

The Vapor 16 is a 16-liter capacity pack that is 100-percent waterproof and ultra-lightweight, weighing a mere four ounces. It features a secure roll-top closure to lock out water and ensure contents are securely stowed, 70D nylon ripstop construction with waterproof coating, and waterproof taped seams.

Integrated into the Vapor 16 are adjustable shoulder straps, allowing the dry bag to function as a pack for short-duration hikes. The 16-liter volume provides ample room for snacks, extra clothing, cameras, and sensitive electronic gear. A top-mounted grab handle is also included.

The Value of Post Season Scouting in the Snow

Although for most of the country deer season is over, there are some important aspects of deer hunting to be understood, particularly when it snows during the winter months. In my part of the country, we don’t often get a good blanket of snow until the deer season closes. However, when it does snow, I make a point to get outdoors and visit each of my hunting areas to learn when the learning is best.
