Re: What do you carry for First Aid? Mine is also pretty basic. The things I use the most are bandaids, moleskin, and Tylenol. My wife is allergic to ibuprofen, which is what I used to carry. In addition to that stuff I carry some... |

Re: Re: EB Microtherm Down Vest Check out the Melanzana Hard Face vest. It might be a little more expensive than you're looking for but its more wind resistant than a plain 100-wt fleece and its got some nice stretch to it. I... |

Re: solomid not lighter than tt notch Thanks for that info. I hadn't been able to find the weight of just the Notch fly anywhere and was curious. If its that low then I think the Notch is looking like the way I'm going to go. ... |

Re: Common Battery Type -- Just Another Myth? I like things that use AA not so much because I want everything to use the same type but because I've got a boatload of rechargeable AAs. At home I use them in remotes, flashes, toothbrushes, g... |

Re: Brian Frankle Joins Six Moon Designs That's awesome! Maybe we can get an updated version of the old Relay. I'm bummed I never bought one before they were discontinued, it seems like it would have been perfect for the trail wor... |

Re: What New Gear are you trying for 2013 I just ordered a Borah Gear Stealth. The lead time quoted on the website puts the delivery around my birthday, so that will be a nice surprise and right in time for me to start hiking again. I&#... |

Re: Just wondering... You'd have to add an extra zipper along the bottom of the door so that it could open. Zpacks is about the only person offering a net floor on any shelter but if you really want it Bearpaw is pr... |

Re: 2X Fosters cans = windscreen Even more low-tech, would paper clips work? I've used them to close some windscreens I've made before. Or maybe bobby pins if you've got a lady around the house. Has anyone weighed both... |

Melanzana micro grid hoody Let me just echo everything the previous reviewer said. The fit is great, not tight and not baggy, the sleeves are just the right length, and the pocket is useful. As for the hood, I was a little s... |

BPL FireLite Mini Firestarter I keep this around my neck with some other "just in case" items. I too have a little bit of a hard time getting it to work consistently and use matches as my primary means of fire starting. ... |

Gossamer Gear ThinLight insulation pad 1/8" approx. 2 oz. I've been using my GG 1/8" Thinlight both to supplement my GG Nightlight Torso and as a sit pad. Its great with the torso pad to insulate your legs on colder nights. It provides some addi... |

Petzl e+LITE Like Craig, I don't use a light that much, mostly just for chores around camp that I can't preform with only moonlight. As such I was tired of lugging around my "heavy" 3 oz PT Auror... |

Gossamer Gear G6 Whisper One more person to note how fragile it seems. I've got a spinnaker tarp and groundsheet, so I was aware how fragile it seemed but I always feel a little wary when I sit this pack down. So far I ha... |

Lighten Up DVD with Glen Van Peski . For only $5 this DVD has a lot to offer. I began converting to UL backpacking awhile ago, but reading books and advice on the forums just isn't quite the same as seeing it in action. I'm a v... |

Princeton Tech Aurora I picked up the PT Aurora 4 or so years ago when I was starting to get into backpacking. I looked at a few different headlamps, but at the time this seemed like the best value. Since then it has b... |
