Orikaso Note to file: there are TWO different models - the Picnic set which has the snap fasteners, and the Solo set with the fold-over tabs. Both sets are reviewed at Backpackinglight.com I've seen... |

Double Rainbow Just got my new Double Rainbow seam sealed for my JMT trek. I almost bought the Rainbow when it came out but couldn't decide between it and the Lunar Solo. Glad I waited. The added space, flow... |

Artic 1000 completed--Controvery? Readers here are smart enough to sort the wheat from the chaff. I haven't seen a single comment, no matter how logical, whose potential impact wasn't considered and addressed by the participant... |

BMW Opinions This thread has taken on a life of its own. My opinion: Unless you order something distinctly custom-made (and in which case you'd know up front what the lead time should be), there is no via... |

Helix Ice Axe And IMO, that is probably why ULA doesn't try to market it as an ice axe. Instead, it is sold as the Helix Potty Trowel. from the ULA site: "WARNING!!! No international testing standards... |

helix ice axe CAVEAT: Unless you have repeatedly demonstrated proficiency in ice axe self arrest before you need it for real, this entire discussion is moot. Granted, the risk of a fall may be low, and unders... |

Annonimity on the forum What's in a name? You want annonimity - pick a name. Let's assume I don't make it an obvious fake like Zaphoid Beeblebocks. I could pick ANY realistic-sounding name (i.e. Jonathan Frasier) and y... |

sierra Conditions Because of a server crash, the PCT_List forum is down for a few weeks so there's no current who's where up-dates readily available. Just before it went down last week, the first thruhikers had reac... |

Western Mountaineering The Company WM products are a 5+ WM the company does not sell direct, only through dealers, ergo end-user contacts would not be expected. Their printed catalogues do list their address and FAX and telephone nu... |

Mountain House Lasagna with Meat Sauce I use a lot of Mountain House Pro Packs and as much as I like the flavor and texture of this item, I avoid it like the plague. The overwhelming downside is the cheese they use. It does NOT rehydra... |

Mountain House Sweet and Sour Pork with Rice One of my favorite Mountain House meals, albeit a tad too sweet for my taste; too much pineapple, not enough sour sauce. Nonetheless, it makes a great motivator to get to a dinner spot when I know one... |

Mountain House Precooked Scrambled Eggs with Bacon I tried these several years ago when they first came out - no bacon in them then. They were horrible! Like a previous reviewer said, virtually flavorless yellow sponges. Last year I noticed they ha... |

Gossamer Gear Lightrek 4 Adjustable CF Trekking Poles I decided not to buy these when they first came out because fully closed they were too long to carry on my pack in checked baggage on the plane, and I really didn't want to hassel with the maili... |

Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape I just returned from 22 nights in the high Sierra on the PCT and JMT. I had two days of constant high winds in Onion Valley, with sustained gusts to at least 50 mph. My trusty Gatewood Cape flapped a ... |

Therm-A-Rest Ridgerest This has been my "go-to" sleeping pad for many years on the PCT. I've tried a variety of others but keep returning to this little beauty. It does a great job of insulating one from th... |

Aloksak O.P 12.5 x 20" I have found them to be quite effective in the Sierras the past two summers. I have a Bearikade Expedition, and if you're not careful, the metal edges around the latches can slice an OP sak wh... |
