Ala to Idaho Hey Andy, For winter work, I use an REI Arete - It's 5 pounds, but does a great job in wind and cold. I haven't had any heavy snow on it yet. For the rest of the year, I use an old Ta... |

Ala to Idaho Hi Andy, As you may imagine, a heavier sleeping bag will be of interest, I'm guessing. I ended up in Wyoming(from B'ham), and I've found that a 20 degree down bag is good for 3 sea... |

MSR XGK EX I've owned the earlier model, XK, for over 30 years. I've rebuilt it twice. It has always been a solid performer. As noted above, it is heavy and noisy. I'll use it now for group cooking... |

REI Sub-Kilo 20 degree I've just purchased a SubKilo for use in the summer, and as an adjunct to my 0 degree bag in the winter. I sleep cold, so degree ratings in general are lower than I find comfortable, by about 15 ... |

Exped Downmat 7 This is the best sleeping pad I've owned. I've used Thermarest for years. In cold temps, the Downmat lets me roll from side to side and changed positions while sleeping, and nary a cold spot... |

MSR Microzoid This is a nicely manufactured double wall one person non-freestanding tent. Quality is in keeping with MSR products. It weighs 3lb 3oz ready to pack. My issues are that the roof is so close that 1)... |
