Do you ever run into halibut? I've been diving MT and WY, but am itching to hunt the kelp forests and reef edges for wsb, calicos, halibut, yellowtail, etc.
Cool to know there are other spearos on HT!

Awesome! I'm honestly surprised there aren't more guys on here spearfishing - it's ridiculously fun and addicting! I had a spearfishing trip to the Cortes Bank cancelled this summer due to covid-19 which was a huge bummer.
I'm jealous of your vis and target species - I mostly shot...
I took a Subaru Outback to the base of the west side of the Florida Mtns earlier this summer when I was down there for work - it took about an hour to go from pavement to basically the end of the dirt road. .
Like new Luxe Hexapeak XL with stainless steel wood stove and large diameter REI aluminum center pole. The wood stove measures 11" in diameter and is 12" long; the stove pipe extends approximately 2' above apex of tipi. Here are the weights:
Tipi + guylines = 2 lbs, 8 oz
SS wood stove = 3 lbs...
I'll throw in a Vanguard Abeo 243av tripod if picked up in Billings. Good for standing and glassing, but a little bulky for backpack hunting. That'd give you a tripod for the road and one for packing.
