My Locale Southeast Alaska
About Me We are primarily kayakers who travel as light as possible on long trips here in Southeast Alaska. There are a lot of similarities between our paddling style and the ultra light approach noted here. My wife bought me the account for a holiday, and as incentive for me to return to multi-day backpacking.

Re: dbw
No problem on the drift of the thread, all information is useful. I'm good for winter pants; just wear the rail riders with long underwear. It is the wet, cold fall that poses the problem. I...

Re: dead bird
Eric, Thanks for the response. I too am not one to jump into a pair of pants because they are what everyone is wearing. My biggest problem is the nearest store with any supply is over 500 air m...

Re: Best cooking tarp for winter use?
I don't have any experience on glaciers but do have a lot on snow in the winter. We bring our standard kitchen tarp (10x10) and, when the wind blows, set it as a flying wedge or a lean-to. ...

Re: RE: MLD Bivy
We use the Oware drawstring bivy which has about a fourth of the top mesh. Haven't had a problem under a tarp with rain (Southeast Alaska is wet) and, though we tend to use our Pyramid in the w...
