What to do when encountering dogs on the trail?
I prefer immediately mounting the offending dog to show alpha dominance.

Staying fit for long hikes
+1 to Dave C.'s comment, especially regarding "meta-cycles". People likely don't think long-term enough. Granted, we have to start somewhere, but long term base building and e...

Re: Re: New to the bivy world. Looking for advice and tips!
When I see that the OP is from the redwoods/Santa Cruz I think that a bivy is a bad choice. In my experience bivies shine when it's freezing and windy but dry (winter camping) or windy, dust...

Montbell Thermawrap jacket
A great jacket- my XL weighs in at just over 10 oz. with its stuff sack. Very simple, functional design- perfect for 3 seasons in the Sierras when combined with a base layer and/or shell system.
