About Me My initial backpacking experience was in Mississippi and Iowa with BOA. Although I've done some backpacking since then in Kentucky and Tennessee, the majority of my UL experience has been in Yellowstone National Park, where I worked for Xanterra in the summer of 2006 and the SCA in the summer of 2007.

After a short stint living in my college town, I recently moved to Wasilla, AK, where I'll be doing web and IT work in the winter and guiding in Denali National Park in the summer.

Micropuff color
Had a lot of questions about this—my fault for not posting it originally. All of the Micropuff items are black.

Marmot Ion
Man, what a disappointment. I, too, got stuck with the Campmor version of the Ion. I'm quite thin and short-waisted, so the Ion's athletic cut and short length were great for me. The fit of...
