In Episode 24 of Field Notes, Seth and T are talking cold lunches in the Vegas heat, a construction worker who found a better way to live on the road, and what it’s really like sleeping in a bedroll when the temperature climbs.

They share a customer story from Chip, who spent months at a time camping near construction jobs before his wife gave him a Dominator 2. What started as an alternative to motels quickly became a game changer...giving him a dependable shelter he could throw on the ground, set up inside a tent, or use just about anywhere the work took him.

The guys also dig into recent customer reviews, sleeping in a bedroll in extreme heat, upcoming mule deer scouting and Summit backpack trips, and why now is the time to get your gear ordered before fall hunts arrive.

Plus, don’t forget about July’s Dominator Owners Club giveaway: The Scout daypack from Initial Ascent, valued at $229.99.

As Theodore Roosevelt said, “Nothing in this world is worth having or doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty.”

Until next time, keep on keeping on!

In this Field Notes episode of The Cutter Cast, we’re announcing the June Dominator Owner’s Club giveaway winner, talking Dirtbag love from customers, and reminding everyone that the Dominator 3.0 is not just a shelter, it’s one dang good bedroll too.

Seth and the crew also cover July’s DOC giveaway, featuring The Scout Daypack from Initial Ascent, answer a few customer questions and comments, talk about upcoming Summit-specific sleep system developments, and preview new content around the Jack Bag Panniers and Stockman Saddlebags.

Plus, The Beautiful Tee is live for America’s 250th birthday, and we wrap things up with a quote from George Washington on patriotism.

Until next time, keep on keeping on.

Seth and Emily are back for another Field Notes — and this one is full of Americana, jealous camp buddies, Summit 3.0 questions, and updates from the Canvas Cutter crew.

In this episode, we talk about the new limited-edition shirt dropping for America’s 250th birthday, give a quick reminder about the Dominator Owners Club, and highlight June’s DOC giveaway: a Dirtbag Bean Bag with the fill included.

We also read through customer reviews on the Bunker Sleeping Bag, Foam Pad, and Buffalo Plaid Foam Cover — including one review from a customer who spent nearly two decades sleeping on the ground and now can’t imagine camping without the Canvas Cutter setup.

Then we answer a couple of great Summit 3.0 questions from the community, including whether you can stuff the Summit into the bottom of your pack, how to store it long-term, and whether we recommend adding extra waterproofing for more intense weather trips.
