About Me I started backpacking when I was 10, did NOLS at 14, and have been going UL for a year or two now, most recently doing a thru-hike of the Tahoe Rim Trail for work. Cool, huh.

Re: Re: Golite Venture 0 winter bag?
Thanks Douglas, I'm going to give the venture a shot - always have REI's return policy if it doesn't seem too lofty or doesn't fit.

Re: ice

Mountain Hardwear Phantom 32 F, 800 down
The phantom 32 was my first light-weight item, and is still my favorite. Loft is great, the hood fits great, and there is enough room for me to add a down jacket or vest. The one downside is the .85 ...

Similar to tarptent designs, but no vestibule and made out of Golite's heavy-duty silnylon, so it weighs a little more (3.5 lbs). I have used it in Tahoe National Forest where it was used for me and a...
