geocache Manfred: My son is coming again this year. He will be up for hiking with or without geocache and will also bring a football and baseball stuff because we don't leave home without it. He wi... |

My son and I are in again Looking forward to it. Hope the weather holds up or I'm sleeping in Josh's toasty warm backcountry condo/sweat lodge. Paypal for $15 on its way. Black Friday sale aside, happy to pay m... |

poignant article and theories Ryan's theories are interesting and thought provoking. I'm interested to see studies on the issue to see whether his hypotheses hold up. Now for my mostly useless-to-others anecdotal an... |

Re: Re: Re: ursack jack-o-lantern I had never had an ursack disturbed before either in many years if use. Doesnt mean it wont happen as this incident shows. Op sacks may or may not work, but have the same fundamental problem as... |

Re: location Happened at thousand island lake (aka bear central). Also, not all food in the hard side cans was in op sacks. |

Re: liner makes the difference? Jeff: Good point. It is possible the bear was just investigating the ursack, pierced it and the OP sacks with it's claws and teeth and then smelled the food, or possible that the awful closur... |

ursack jack-o-lantern Ken: I actually own one of the ursack aluminum liners because I used to use it back during that brief period where it was provisionally legal in Yosemite (2007?). But my favorite feature of the u... |

ursack jack-o-lantern Having just come back from a trip where I earned some experience relevant to the ursack - bear can debate, I thought I'd share. We spent two nights at the same location. We had 8 people and... |

MTR/VVR Don't count on resupplying anything at MTR from their store. Very sparse supplies and even when they tell you they have something they might not have it when you get there. Hiker boxes have l... |

Re: In the Bag Great hike. Thanks for coming. I enjoyed the conversation. FYI, my completely nonscientific mileage estimate based on the map is somewhere in the neighborhood of 21 miles. Tony, post a pic ... |

Mountain Laurel Designs I have to add my two cents about MLD's service. Early this summer I damaged the bottom of my Exodus pack. The damage was completely my fault (sliding down granite). I wrote Ron and asked if he ... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Exodus The Exodus is the new 2009 version of the MLD Zip pack. So far, I have taken it on 2 overnight trips and one 9 day trip. This is my first frameless pack, so I can't compare to others, but the pa... |

Nuun Active Hydration tabs These are my new go-to electrolyte replacement solution. I used them in conjunction with Saltstick pills on a 9 day TRT thru-hike. Prior to that hike I had always had evening headaches and sometimes... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Superlight I agree with the first two reviewers that this is an excellent bivy to use with a tarp. It is extremely light (mine weighs in at 6 oz even not counting the stuff sack and cord that can be attached to... |

Golite Ultra 20 I like this quilt but give it a 4 because the temperature rating is optimistic. I've used it once below freezing, and while I was fine, I had to layer up substantially. I used it on a mid-Septem... |

Watchful Eye Designs Aloksak There are other reviews on O.P. Saks/Aloksaks pertaining to the bear-can size and the food storage and protection issues those bags raise. This review concerns Aloksaks generally. The main problem w... |

Jocalat bars (by Larabar) Chocolate These are love 'em or hate 'em chocolate bars. I love them, but my kids hate them because they don't taste like typcial store bought chocolate bars. The bars are organic and vegan, so do... |

Sunday Afternoon Adventure hat I highly recommend this hat for sun protection. This hat is light (M=2.5 oz on my scale) and provides full sun coverage due to the long back and wide brim, which allows you to carry much less sunbloc... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Kids Prophet It's about time someone made an ultralight frameless pack specifically for kids. I bought this pack for my 8-year old for her birthday, and we took it for a spin on a 3 day family trip to Pt. Rey... |
