Top bag conversion for quilt Well, as dorky as that looks worn, I don't look any better wearing my feathered friends winter wren. My wearable wren has this same problem -- too much room makes things cooler than its prod... |

Antigravity Gear .4 oz pepsi style alcohol stove This was my first alcohol stove after the Trangia, which I used before these pepsi stoves were invented. Despite a taped seam build, this stove is very good, still doing great after 5 or more years... |

Patagonia MicroPuff Vest As already said, the cut is a little large, and I opted for the small, which just fits me. I believe this vest is or will not be available, with a zipped version replacing it. I find this vest g... |

Garmin Foretrex 101 I've done like Ryan, with the addition of removing the back cover and substituting clear postal strapping tape, which is what I did with my old etrex. One could even rig up a nearly weightless str... |
