Re: Australia burns My daughter works for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection; she's a wildland firefighter. Apparently, from what she has said, they work to put out all fires. Sometimes th... |

Re: Re: Steggers & Military M51 snow jacket JR -- I hadn't noticed that. What I did notice is that this thing is like an oven. Even if it is 3.5 lbs., I can't believe how hot I got in moderate weather. Convinces me that it will... |

Re: Which layer first I use the GoLite Ether windshirt. It is cold and synthetic feeling next to my skin. I didn't like it at all, and it seemed to be pretty damp or sweaty feeling when climbing a grade. It seemed... |

Cookie cooling grill I use a cheap, sold all over cookie cooling, metal "kitchen cooling rack" for a cooking grill over wood fires. It is a commercial product that is intended to cool cookies on. I cut off ... |

Re: DE for Dr.J (inspired by D. Bonn) pj, et al. - Quite right that Crazy Pete is not crazy .. that is certain. In fact, I wish he could graph and create algorithims for law office scheduling efficiencies. Ditto on the lawyers, ... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: DE for Dr.J (inspired by D. Bonn) I updated my previous communication, just saw yours. Agree, for now anyway, thus I can actually go to bed. Thank you for the dialogue and thought, most persevering and percipient. |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: DE for Dr.J (inspired by D. Bonn) Crazy Pete, Cool. Trying to put math around this UL stuff is cool, way cool. I never thought of doing it. But I only have myself for a sample/null set v. sample. Thus you guys are way ahea... |

Outdoor Products Hall Pass Day/O'Nite Pack I picked up this pack for $20 US at a Big 5 to experiment with (Campmor has it listed at $14.99). The thought was to see if it would do for a day, a night, and a day camping trip. Here it is packed,... |

Gorillapod SLR I rarely bother to review items I would not use or which deserve less than a 4, but this chain caught my eye. Owning a GorillaPod for SLRs I can't recommend it for a person trying to go UL. So I... |

BMW Stealth 0 NANO (6x8) UL Tarp - 4.2 oz. Catenary Ridgeline I don't think I could have found a better tarp to learn with and from. It is fragile compared to heavier fabric tarps, but it is precisely for that reason that it is a great learning tool This... |

Mountain Hardwear Butter Balaclava I entirely agree with Craig S.' review. I carry this item with me everywhere once the weather turns cool or cold. I wear it over or under my Mountain Hardwear Micro beanie, and both of them unde... |

PossumDown Gloves (BPL Gear Shop) These are a real find. I was waiting for the BPL Gear Shop to get them back in stock and am glad I waited. My partner got a pair of gloves from another New Zealand supplier and although they are gre... |

Mountain Hardwear Phantom Down Jacket (Women's) This is a piece of gear my partner obtained. But, it also works for me. She got a large to wear over other items, and it fits me fine as well. It is well made and is warm, but not too hot in cold... |

McNett AquaMira Water Treatment It has taken some time, and a lot of winter boredom, to get to trying out chemical water treatment systems -- goal: reduce weight w/o gagging on the water after treatment. So after studying here I fi... |
