Eastern Sierra car camping I know, I know, car camping isn't exactly UL, but I'm looking for advice on "dispersed camping." As I understand it, if you drive 2 miles down a dirt road in Forest Service or BLM... |

Re: Re: Re: Your California Pass Report Welp, it looks like Tioga isn't opening in time for the holiday weekend, drag. Probably something to do with the fact that it's still snowing up here! |

Re: Monoculars I have a Brunton Echo I picked up from REI, and it's nice enough. I wouldn't say it's a precision piece of optical equipment though - the focal plane is slightly off on mine. Otherwise ... |

1st experience with windpro in the snow Hey guys, I got my windpro out in the snow finally during a winter camping trip, and it worked OK... It lit fine and would burn fine, but it seemed each time I turned my back to get more snow, ... |

Re: Re: BPL Absaroka Pack I like the name "absaroka" but I have one question; will it be available in a more LNT, subdued color? I look forward to seeing more. |

Titanium Goat Basic Bivy This review is for the large bivy with the old-style bug headnet (a mesh headnet bag sewn across the chest, pulled over the head, under the bivy). This is the best value hands down in water resista... |

Mountain Hardwear Phantom 32 F, 800 down The phantom 32 was my first light-weight item, and is still my favorite. Loft is great, the hood fits great, and there is enough room for me to add a down jacket or vest. The one downside is the .85 ... |

REI Minimalist Bivy Sack During the time I have used this bivy, I have experienced no condensation, even when the single wall tent I was in was dripping. I have not found a great solution to getting the bug-mesh away from my... |
