Re: Re: Re: Backpacker Magazine award to Big Sky Wow! What a thread. I appreciate Kristin stepping up. While Backpacker may publish letters, don't look for them to publish them un-edited. I sent a very concise e mail to them praising ... |

Re: $40 shipped on Ebay Looking at the items listed on ebay, it is amazing how fast these got duplicated! You can see the very faint imprint of $19.99 written in ink on the front part of the sole...where the ebayer bough... |

Re: SleepWear I am currently debating Silk versus LW merino wool for sleep. Silk might be lighter, but wool more warmth for weight if it got cold....like the northern rockies can even in Summer. Is the weight ... |

Re: Re: Re: Bacpacker Magazine award to Big Sky Concessions - That is what you make in life generally, as no one thing in life fits all needs. I need to look at cool photography of places that would be intense to spend time in. I like to do ... |

Gossamer Gear NightLight 3/4 In my book, this is an Ultra Light sleeping pad. I am sure others will use 2 ounce torso pads, but that would not be conducive to good sleeping in any way for me. The durability is better than exp... |

Big Sur Bars Original Discovered these in late 2005, and have used them pretty exclusivley ever since. Agree with all comments above. These tend to be my main source of calories during the time after breakfast and into e... |

Crocs Any closed toe model For longer backcountry trips, I never leave home without a "camp shoe". Based on the list below, these will probably always be the ones: 1. 12.8 ounces for a sturdy closed-toe pair at s... |

Montane Featherlite H2O Seems to be designed for runners/bikers, but should lend itself to backpackers quite well. Especially those that are spending more time hiking and not on rocks/alpinism. Craftsmanship: Second to ... |
