Retired Synapse 25 Internal Frame

We present for your use these optional, removable internal frames with aluminum half stays for the Bixi . If you're wanting to put some weight from the Bixi onto your hips instead of your shoulders, using the frame sheet in conjunction with the 1" Padded Hip Belt can help save your shoulders some stress. The frames are made from die-cut 0.55" thick High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), with a nylon webbing sleeve sewn down the center that encases the 1/2" / 13mm wide 6061 aluminum half stay.

The Guide's Edition Synapse 25 takes all of the same clever features, bountiful organization, and top-shelf build of the original Synapse 25 and walks it all a bit further up into the mountains, a bit deeper into the woods. Rather than the all-too-common black zippers, hardware and webbing, the Guide's Edition Synapse 25 has gone terrestrial: it’s trimmed and lined in Coyote brown. The resulting aesthetic might be taken as an homage to another time; but to our sensibilities, bags trimmed in Coyote seem to be a little more at home in the great outdoors.

Back in the mid 1970’s, I made a firewood carrier for my father and a couple extras for friends. The design was nothing new or revolutionary, but it did its job: schlepping 3-5 firewood logs from the woodshed to the hearth. When my father passed away in 2016, I inherited the original carrier I had made all those years before. Now, over 40 years later, I use the thing almost daily in the winter months.

Our take on the toiletries kit. In two versions: Standard and Deluxe. The Spiff Kit is the TB take on the ubiquitous toiletries kit. Though we suppose that a spartan few will live off the land and use whatever the hotel washroom offers up, most of us seem to prefer our unique collection of personal essentials for even the shortest of trips. For some of us that’s our favorite flavor of toothpaste or Dr. Bronner's soap (and, well, if Dr. Bronner’s is your favorite toothpaste, we're not sure what to say...); for others it's a refined collection of vitamins or cosmetics.
