Re: Barefoot I haven't been to Nepal since the civil war started in fall of 2001, but I didn't see a whole lot of barefoot porters. You did see a lot of people with shower flip-flops and very cheap slippers ... |

Re: Grand Shelters Icebox Igloo Building Tool REVIEW I've a couple of thoughts about this product. I haven't used this product myself, and only made igloos a couple of times (which I suspect is more often than many people here on this list). One ... |

Re: Trail Etiquette; horses, bikes? Scott... Until now, it hadn't sunk in that you are posting from the UK. My mistake... I'm wondering if we are talking about the same thing, though. I think most of the outrage here is about... |

Re: Watchful Eye (poor) Designs I've used two of these for food bags all last season. No failures in 100+ days of hiking. They are well-protected in the pack (surrounded by a sleeping pad, tarp, and sleepingbag above). I kee... |

Re: Re:Trail Etiquette Scott, I apologize and withdraw my comments about "why hikers" are angry. Perhaps I should have said, "why *some* hikers are angry..." or perhaps "why many hikers are angry..." I should also... |

Re:Trail Etiquette These discussions always, always degrade into an assertion that the vast majority of {insert "bike riders", "snowmachine riders", "motorcycle riders", "horse packers", "boy scouts"} are law-abiding... |

Re: Online Backpack Trip Listing This is an idea that has merit. I'd probably contribute a bit of information. For many of my trips, the most useful information would have been on getting to and from the trailhead. Pointers t... |

Re: Question about how much water ULB carry How much or how little water you carry is ninety nine percent about how much water is available and maybe a little bit about how often you want to stop and water up. I've carried two gallons in ... |

Re: Trail Etiquette; horses, bikes? If you find horses or bikes or orvs on trails and you are absolutely, positively sure that they are prohibited there, take pictures. Take lots of pictures. Write a polite letter (including the ... |

Western Mountaineering Summer Coupler I think the big killer for me and my so was that it was made of cotton. It needs to be made of some very light synthetic instead. Once again, a great idea with poor execution. |

Patagonia R1 Balaclava One other thing that I think is good is that the stretchy fabric is relatively thin -- this means that if you are exercising you can still wear the hat in quite cold weather, and if it is wicked cold ... |

Superfeet Performance Green Thirty bucks is a lot of money for an insole. But it is way cheaper than knee surgery. I've been using them religiously for four years in everything but rock climbing shoes and backcountry ski boots... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover Lightweight, simple, doubles as a pillow. This pullover is a wonderful evolution of the original puffball pullover. |

GoLite Phantom Jacket Awesome light jacket. Enormous pit zips help ventilation a lot. High pockets let you stash gloves and trail mix where you can get them without taking your pack off. A little heavier than some more ... |

Patagonia Dragonfly pullover I don't go anywhere without this pullover. For everything from groomed cross-country ski tours to weeklong climbing trips to long-distance backpacks. This is probably the most useful item of clothin... |

Patagonia Specter Jacket Wonderfully light. Waterproof. Reasonably breathable. More expensive than my first car (and more waterproof too). The big pockets help venting a bit, but it doesn't (in my opinion) vent particul... |
