Re: Re: Re: Sony NEX-7 Digital Camera Review The shutter on the NEX-7 isn't so loud that you don't need earplugs. Maybe it would work as a bear deterrent? Yes, it's loud. No mirror, but you have double the actuations of an S... |

Sony NEX lenses, sharpness, etc. Good comments to put this all in perspective, Chris, Rakesh, et al. I loathe sitting in front of a computer and fooling around with post processing software. That's not to say that I don'... |

packs & fabrics & gridstop oh my "Ryan did generalize. He got caught making yet another statement without really thinking about what he's saying." Yes on both accounts. I do it all the time. "It's also... |

Pack Design, Conflicts of Interest, Etc. I have zero financial interests in any of the companies that make the gear that I promote, and never, ever, ever, enter into a contract whereby my ability to get paid depends upon the sales of a pr... |

Sony NEX & Backpacking What a great thread! My apologies for being late to the game and perhaps missing its critical mass of interest. The NEX-5n is a fantastic camera. It has the same quality as the much heavier Niko... |

Solo Tent Feedback Request I'm soliciting feedback as part of some research that I'm working on an article for BPL about solo tents. So, a few questions for solo tent users, in the following context: Most of yo... |

Jolt Gum You guys are rookies. Look at the times at which you are posting. I consumed four pieces of Jolt two hours ago and look at me, still going strong at 2 am. There is a weird flavor to it, but I ca... |

Mike Clelland! GOO Energy Gel I've used Mike's, and made my own per his recipe. It's nasty. The color, I mean. Like a pukey green. But then again, that may very well provide some of its social appeal when hiking or skiing in... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) OK, I'm partial. I grew up in Seattle. For a kid who dreamed about the wilds endlessly, my Dad taking my family from our home in the burbs to Capitol Hill was a real treat for me. I have fond me... |

Complete Walker by Colin Fletcher If you love to WALK and you haven't read this book then you are (1) not only missing out on a rite of passage that qualifies you to even claim that you're a backpacker, (2) but also ignoring what may ... |

Black Diamond Winter Bivy I have a few Epic bivies, one from Oware, one from BD (Lightsabre) and one from Bibler (this one, the Winter Bivy). They are both great in the summer, especially in rainy weather, where the Epic treat... |

Six Moon Designs Essence Welllll, I must say, I think PJ did a fine review above, but if you're looking for additional reading insight, I don't think I can follow up. I feel like the local coffee shop guitar player with a bad... |

ULA Equipment Relay I love the Relay. It's my favorite pack for multi-day mountain running because it's so small (tucks into the lumbar) and shaped so well (hourglass) for running. Improvements could be made by adding... |

Montrail Vitesse This is my go-to shoe for all of my longer unsupported/no resupply treks where I absolutely cannot have a shoe fail en route. I've worn through about six pair of Vitesse now, all of them had more t... |

Inov8 Mudclaw O'330 Far and away my absolute favorite light shoe for what the Brit's call "fell running" but what I might call "tundra" trekking. It's great in soft ground (tundra, mud) but abysmal on trails and slickroc... |
