Recently in the video/photo forum there was a video posted which contained a story about some soldiers killing seven sasquatches. The video made me think of a user named CharlieHotel who appeared on here back in 2013. He had posted a lengthy story about how he was involved in a military operation at Fort Drum in New York where they went out into the surrounding forest and killed a sasquatch. CharlieHotel had also posted various images of supposed military documents and I.D. to help prove he was who he said he was. The story was interesting and I always had some curiosity and of course, suspicion as well. CharlieHotel did not leave the post up for long and eventually it was deleted along with his profile. Today I decided to do some searching to see if I could find the story again since the last time I read it was when he originally posted in 2013. It was not long into my search that I discovered a blog post that was written by the guy who went by CharlieHotel on here. He goes into detail about how he decided to make up the story in an attempt to see what he could get people to believe. I remember after reading the story I had considered that perhaps it was someone doing just that. However, like with pretty much all sasquatch stories, there is usually not a way verify anything one way or another. I think this situation serves as an interesting look into the lengths that some people will go in order to fabricate stories and/or "evidence" and what their motivations may be in doing so. Hopefully there are some users that remember CharlieHotel's post on here as it generated quite a lot of interest at the time.

Explorer...yes, I have used Original Kit Bag many, many times with a full-backpack on. My new backpack, a Seek Outside Revolution 6,300, works beautifully with it but so did my 8oz Zpacks Blast. I always recommend putting the chest pack on first then the backpack over it. Then, you'll dock the chest pack to the backpack's shoulder strap, as they always have a daisy chain loop or two by which to connect. Then all the weight is transferred to your backpack. I went out yesterday with my SO backpack and HPGOKB. I never enter the woods without it. To answer your question about the straps...no, I've never had any problems with that at all. No crossing or combining of straps between the two. In that regard, Seek Outside sells strapkeepers. They're awesome to help organize straps. As you know, with any backpack, there are straps dangling all over the place. You can tuck them in or you can get strapkeepers which I think is the best solution. You roll up the excess strap dangling down and attach a strapkeeper which keeps it rolled up and out of the way. It's not permanent so when you need to use the strap, you simply unstrap the keeper which connects by using velcro then unfurl the strap. I bought two sets of 6 strapkeepers for a grand total of $5.80. No shipping cost either. Try them, I think you like it. https://seekoutside.com/backpack-strapkeepers-set-of-6/ No but it will fit beautifully attached to my Seek Outside backpack! As Norse mentioned, you can get a breakdown 45-70. For a mere $3,277+, you can have a Wild West Guns Co-Pilot. Talk about a sweet lever action! https://www.wildwestguns.com/custom-guns/

I bet you put ketchup on hotdogs.
