Re: Take any meds to fall asleep after a medium size hiking day? I usually take Tylenol PM because I'm a little sore anyway. I sleep a little better when I do that, I tend to toss and turn and wake up a lot if I don't take it. At home my wife sometime... |

Re: OR, REI, MEC, EB and bears ... Going along the same tangent, I recently had an issue with my Cabelas Rainy River jacket. One of the toggles on the elastic in the waist was broken and since Cabelas has a "lifetime" warr... |

Re: Real newbie Sawyer question Regarding scoops, its not so much a matter of the opening being small. If you're filling the bladder from a falling source like a water fall (or a faucet) you won't have any problems becaus... |

Re: CCF sit pad I use a panel cut from a GG Nightlight. My wife uses the other two panels as her sit pad (she deserves more wiggle room, one panel requires pretty precise bum placement). They're great when we&... |

Re: Gear Confessions Eric, you and I can burn in Hiker Hell together. Coincidentally I already live here, it's commonly referred to as Kansas. I sleep on a FULL LENGTH Thermarest ProLight PLUS pad. I use a si... |

Re: SE in august While not the SE, Missouri has similar summertime conditions. High heat, high humidity, lots of bugs. In Scouts when we camped year round I used to just take a cotton sheet. Even sleeping on top of... |

Re: Best Pack size for Overnighter? I've got a 32L OMM Classic and a 54L Borah Gear Stealth. Those two packs cover everything I do. I mostly use the OMM for day trips and hardly ever fill it but for trail work its just the right ... |

Re: Re: Re: Backpacking Thermometer I realized at the time it was the placement that was skewing the reading, I'm just not sure of the best place to put it. I'm going to try it in the hipbelt pocket next time, my hope is that... |

Re: Backpacking Thermometer I've got the same one as Kevin. Its great for recording the overnight low but its been less useful during the day. If I stick it in the outside pocket of my pack and it happens to be in the sun... |

Re: Thinking about buying moccasins as a camp / small stream shoe? Has anyone tried huarache sandals for stream crossings/camp shoes? If they've got enough traction they seem like a really lightweight, albeit pricey, option. The Unshoes Wokova Feather would be... |

Melanzana micro grid hoody Let me just echo everything the previous reviewer said. The fit is great, not tight and not baggy, the sleeves are just the right length, and the pocket is useful. As for the hood, I was a little s... |

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... |
