Olympic Nat'l Park I did a 45-mile loop starting and ending at Hurricane Ridge (a drive up from Port Angeles) about 5 years ago and still remember how amazing it was. There were quite a few passes to go up and over, ... |

The Chafe Question I am with Ben on the wonders of water (I like to call it the BCB - BackCountry Bidet), but also appreciate the moist wipe every three days or so. I also can't recommend Gold Bond enough. That s... |

BD Apollo Thanks everyone. Let me know how those work out for you. Sounds like it might be a great tool for our program. The weight actually sounds great compared to the propane lanterns (no, that was not a ... |

Chrome Dome Thanks Rick. Good to know. The size is really less important than the toughness. Does it have a long shaft/handle? Or one of those too-short ones? |

Patagonia Wool 2 or Icebreaker Oasis 200 I have both of these and am very impressed. The patagonia wool 2 is slightly thinner and the version I have is a zip-t. The Icebreaker has been one of my favorite items for several years. I have av... |

GoLite Chrome Dome? or other umbrellas I am curious about how tough the Chrome Dome is. As in, would it hold up to windy conditions? For over a month at a time? Also, exactly how much coverage does it afford? Can more than one person st... |

Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack I use a variety of these sacks in different sizes and find them very useful. I have even used them to carry water and do laundry in, and they have not leaked in my experience. |

REI Sub Kilo 15* Ladies Regular Mine has served me well for over 100 nights in the field. Plus, it is purple. I trust that if I ever have the problems that Cat experienced, I can return it quite easily to REI. |

REI Sub-Kilo 20 degree I love mine. It has kept me warm down to the rating, and is oh-so-cozy. The cute purple color of the women's doesn't hurt either. |

Black Diamond Moxie This is a pretty average, functional mid-sized headlamp. However, I am giving BD props for making a women's specific design. Yes, it is somewhat ridiculous that their definition of women's spe... |

Patagonia Lightweight Capilene Glove Liners I like mine: light, but good warmth. They got a hole in them pretty easily, which is why I gave them a 4. |

Therm-A-Rest Pro Lite 3 I switched to this after using two older models by Thermarest (the fat camp model for paddling and the teeny lightweight shortie they made 7 or so years ago). Unlike my previous models, I haven't ... |

Patagonia Houdini Wind Jacket The definition of a 5 - The houdini is amazing. I bought it to replace a cheap Sierra Designs windjacket and couldn't be more pleased. Those who find the price unjustified might consider the costs... |

Crocs Any closed toe model they are indeed lightweight, but I found them awful as a camp shoe. I want something I can feel more confident scrambling in. Also, my relatively sweaty feet made these a mess pretty quickly (and that... |
