My Locale Wet & Humid Southeast.... About Me I have been backpacking a little over 3 years now, but in that time I have logged a number of trail miles and went through a lot of gear trying to find my sweet spot. Now, thanks to cuben fiber, alcohol stoves, down and of course a better understanding, my TPW has severly dropped! My cold weather BPW is 9 - 10 lbs and my warm weather BPW is 5 - 6 lbs. About 95% of the time I hike with family or friends and in the SouthEastern states. My favorites places to get away are anywhere along the AT as well as in the Great Smoky Mountains.

	Just ordered mine! Finally, I sold some old gear and had the $$ to get one of these for myself! And this will be my first bivy. I went with the regular/regular in M50 with a side zip! I typically only use a regular ...	In Gear Deals » They're back! Ultralight Bivys July 01, 5:57pm
	Mod? Maybe I missed it, but what kind of mod did you do on the one that failed and could it have led to the melting fins? I cut the handle off mine which could be considered a "mod" but I wou...	In GEAR » Jetboil warranty won't return my cup! July 01, 10:34am
	Re: Helium I agree with the quality of the Marmot Helium. I have one and it is a sweet bag. I use it for my winters here in the Southeast and I have used it comfortably down to 10F, granted supplemented with ...	In GEAR » WM Versalite, Alpinlite, Apache or Marmot Helium June 19, 8:07pm
	Re: Tea light stove I agree with going with something with a narrower flame on it... something that will concentrate most of the flame beneath the cook pot rather than running up alongside the walls. Something like...	In GEAR » Best Sideburner for Foster's Can June 19, 6:40pm
