Backpacking System, Extended Stay by Nutnfancy, Part 5
This is part 5 of an 8-part series reviewing Nutnfancy's extended stay backpacking system, focusing on the "firepower" aspect of his mobility vs. firepower thesis. The system is designed for establishing a remote base camp in harsh Rocky Mountain terrain (10,000+ ft elevation) and prioritizes high capabilities for the weight and bulk, resulting in an 80+ lb pack. This installment covers items like a flare pen, multi-tool, fire-starting materials (fatwood, flint and steel, Trioxane, stormproof matches), and a space blanket. The reviewer emphasizes the proven effectiveness and scrutinized merits of each piece of gear for achieving memorable adventures in the backcountry.
