Only a little fuel . . . I have the Internationale, and I make sure from the time I open the valve until I close it is only a couple seconds. It really doesn't take much. When the flames are just dying out I open the... |

Down Bag Repair My Western Mountaineering Highlight has a small hole in one of the chambers on the top of the bag. It is just big enough to see some down poking out. I am wondering how best to go about repairing... |

No No not when I'm hiking. I have no reason to. Useless weight. If it's my time to go by a rouge bear, then so be it. I shall bang on my pot with my spoon. The most trouble I've had wi... |

Exactly I experimented this afternoon. I boiled it, then pouched it. It worked ok, but I think cooking it up then dehydrating it and boiling it would work well. Organic to boot . . . this might be worth ... |

Loft Usually I use the extension collar on my pack. All the things I need for a day (poncho, water treatment and water, lunch) are on the outside pockets of my backpack. So I don't pack past my e... |

Breeze The breeze is 3950ci in total I think. Which is pretty big and why I am considering it as an option. |

Z1 I'll have to look more into the Z1, I had seen it before but forgotten about it. I think what I like about the Golite Breeze is its durable material and generous outside mesh pockets. I like ... |

Keen Sandal models I have a pair of these, the leather, not the H2 model. I wear then all the time. Every day. They have a lifetime warranty, so if you can break them, keen will replace them. As far as hiking goes... |

Kelty Redwing This is one of the older redwings and it is about 3000 ci. First off let me say that this is not a lightweight backpack. It weights a little under 3 lbs. I was given this pack for next to nothing. ... |

Therm-A-Rest Pro-Lite 4 This is a 4 season pad, with a 3.2 r value and it weighs 24 oz. That being said, people who are expecting to use it in situations of ultralighting in the summertime are going to be disappointed. I l... |

Western Mountaineering Highlite This bag has exceeded my expectations. It was my first experience with a piece of really ultralight gear and I have to say it has proved to be one of the best pieces of gear I own. The bag itself... |

MSR Pocket Rocket This stove is about 3 oz. I really enjoy using it. I pair it with my MSR .85L Ti Kettle, and it works like a charm. I boil water mostly and simmer with it. It is a great little stove. You do ha... |
