David, thanks for the feedback. I did Tux for the first time last year and am a novice to backcounrty stuff, so, feedback helps.
- The campon bag I wasn't sure if I needed, but for the price, figured I'd give it a try.
- The ax I'm going to pass on I believe it's to short for me, they only have it in a 50cm, I'm 6'. Instead I found this one I like at Backcountry, but it only comes in 50 and 60 cm, I think a 70 may be more suited for me. What I like is that it's extremely light at 8.8 oz. More expensive, but I got a 15% discount code that would help some:
