Re: Pretty Funny I somehow missed this when it was posted. Now that I've seen it, I just want to send my condolences out to that poor, poor Tarptent. The travesty of his pitch is something that will haunt me wh... |

Re: Hot handles on snowpeak 700 I always have a pair of liner gloves and I slip one on when I pick up my pot. Its always been enough for me, though I usually only hold the pot long enough to dump the water into the bag. Adam |

Re: New Scouts and Listening Issues When I was SPL I ran into a similar issue. We also spent plenty of time at the meetings going over what was needed and what to leave behind. We had a shake down the week before our little trip but ... |

Re: New to cub scouting- Feeling a bit underwhelmed. I was never in Cub Scouts either, pine wood derby was that appealing to me :D. But my brother was in Webelos and when he crossed over to Scouts he and my dad came back from a camp out and raved ab... |

Re: BMW Torsolite and Nunatak Alpinist I use a 36" piece of Ridgrest with my quilt. Never noticed any issues with a draft coming up that area. I'm right at 6' tall. Adam |

Re: Icebreakers wool weight question I love my 150 S/S! I've worn it almost daily since I got it. Its great for warm temps and as a layer in cooler temps. I've got the Oasis crew (200 L/S) and find that its too warm for tem... |

Re: MYOG Down Quilt http://home.comcast.net/~neatoman/quilt.htm has some good info as well. When I made mine I used a 48" width at the top, 78" long, and tapered to 36" at the foot. Luckily I'm a pr... |

Re: Fall Ozark Gear List You could save another couple of ounces by switching the hipbelt pockets out with a pair from Gossamer Gear or Zpacks. And a trash compactor bag, while I don't have a weight in front of me, is ... |

Re: low cut I have the low-cut Goretex Moabs. They're great if you can guarantee that you aren't going to have water come over the top and into the shoe. Like everyone else has pointed out, Goretex sho... |

Re: Rope Length Depends on the tarp, for my cat-cut 8x10 I use 8' or 10' lines for the ridgeline pull-outs and 2'-3' lines for the corners. When I use my flat tarp I take 6 or 7 lengths of the 2... |

BPL FireLite Mini Firestarter I keep this around my neck with some other "just in case" items. I too have a little bit of a hard time getting it to work consistently and use matches as my primary means of fire starting. ... |

Gossamer Gear ThinLight insulation pad 1/8" approx. 2 oz. I've been using my GG 1/8" Thinlight both to supplement my GG Nightlight Torso and as a sit pad. Its great with the torso pad to insulate your legs on colder nights. It provides some addi... |

Petzl e+LITE Like Craig, I don't use a light that much, mostly just for chores around camp that I can't preform with only moonlight. As such I was tired of lugging around my "heavy" 3 oz PT Auror... |

Gossamer Gear G6 Whisper One more person to note how fragile it seems. I've got a spinnaker tarp and groundsheet, so I was aware how fragile it seemed but I always feel a little wary when I sit this pack down. So far I ha... |

Gossamer Gear I placed my first order from Gossamer Gear, a Nightlight Torso and Lighten Up! DVD last Wednesday. I received my first order from GG last Saturday. Now that's fast! As for their products, they se... |

Gossamer Gear Nightlight Torso I just received my Nightlight torso and these are merely my initial observations. It is REALLY light, mine weighs 3.6 oz. I bought it to replace an older Thermarest pad that weighed about 26 oz and t... |

Lighten Up DVD with Glen Van Peski . For only $5 this DVD has a lot to offer. I began converting to UL backpacking awhile ago, but reading books and advice on the forums just isn't quite the same as seeing it in action. I'm a v... |

Princeton Tech Aurora I picked up the PT Aurora 4 or so years ago when I was starting to get into backpacking. I looked at a few different headlamps, but at the time this seemed like the best value. Since then it has b... |

Tealight stove Tealight After not getting great results with other alcohol stoves on my SP 700 I decided to try out the tealight stove. Nothing could be easier to 'make.' Just find an extra tealight laying around th... |

Snow Peak Trek 700 I've had this mug for a little over a year. I originally used it with an MSR Pocket Rocket and it worked very well for boiling water for Mountain House type meals. As I began cutting weight I moved to... |
