My Locale Extreme northern Sierra Nevada
About Me I'm almost 60, single male. I had been in Retail Management for over 30 years. I have mostly solo bped since the early mid '70's. I XC some, not afraid to go alone, I also solo winter camp, have been out in sub-zero temps too. I recently went on a backcountry bp to Alaska with five others into Wrangell/St. Elias NP. Since early 2010, I have been collecting vintage/antique camping and bp stoves, having acquired 65 now. I like many outdoor activities, from bping to dirtbike riding, gardening. I cut my own firewood too.

FS MSR Dragonfly stove
James, does that include a fuel bottle w/pump, no mention? Great running stoves, I have two, one brand new from 1999. Very good price and shipped if it has the pump at least. Duane

XTherm: use the included pump sack or lungs?
I just got my XTherm in the mail today, the pump works after a fashion. Takes quite a few minutes, still did not achieve full inflation. I'll try somemore later. I'll have to check out t...

leave no trace - snow shelters
The folks I bp with will fill in best we can any holes, especially if in an area where skiers may travel through on their way down a hill. Snow sets up pretty hard overnight, so you can only do so...

I have the Weekender for my 7-8 day trips. Works nice, I've heard somewhere that the bears have dashed them somehow and opened them up. May want to do more research. I like the lightness and ...
