Re: Vargo Jet-Ti Titanium Stove I recently began using the JetTi, and so far have really liked it. I use the very lightweight plastic canister support legs (from JetBoil) to give the stove a lot of stability. With the tiny .55L p... |

Re: Neo Air For a change I didn't join the queue/bandwagon on this one. The NeoAir may be a great pad, but I'll wait to see how it works out in actual use. I'm more than a bit leary that there may ... |

Re: Re: New Gear List; Mora knives Brad... I first looked at the Mora knives for the Shoemaker's knife (#1472) at 1.75oz it's close to perfect for UL use. The old standby #1 is hard to beat, but there are so many variations... |

Re: Jam/Exos/Circuit/ohm Alice... Knowing how the ULA sizes run, I'd say you have a good chance of having the M Ohm fit you... so don't rule it out. I've always liked Brian's packs that were listed about 1&... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: New Gear List; Mora knives OK, Brad, you must have x-ray vision while handling the knives. Slight correction to the fourth knife as well... I was going from memory before I just looked it up. In order they are: Triflex c... |

Re: Re: New ULA Ohm I've loaded mine up with all my gear, a week's food, and a couple of liters of water. Although it was barely into the low 20 pound range it was totally comfortable and supportive when I wen... |

Re: Re: Re: New Gear List; Mora knives Justin.... The fourth from the top is a Mora. Not a full tang, but not bad considering the cost. The handle sets it quite well. |

Warbonnet BlackBird I've used several hammocks and always had the feeling, "if only it had". Then I bought a Warbonnet BlackBird. The hammock was designed by, and is hand built by, a long time hammocker and... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Parka This is a perfect jacket, but the parka hood made me drop my score from a 5(+) to a 4. At 7.5oz for a Large, it's the lightest jacket I own, by far. Packs up smaller than a softball. Perfect over... |

Montbell U.L. 90 Sleeping Pad U.L. 90 I bought the 90 to use in conjunction with the MB pillow to make what amounts to a 3/4 mat. When I use it in shoulder seasons and into winter, I add a GG Nightlight Torso to the bottom end by punching... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Revelation I had the chance to begin using my very lightest gear recently. Loaded up this pack with all my gear and food for a slightly rainy weekend. With two 20oz bottles of water the total packweight was 9.5 ... |

GlobalStar SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker I purchased a SPOT Personal Satellite Trackier unit from REI and activated it with GlobalStar for unlimited service on January 24. The product and service are almost totally useless for anyone who is ... |

Titanium Goat Adjustable CF Trekking Poles I waited until after I completed my thru hike of the Long Trail to post this review. I wanted to take them through the wringer that this trail provides and see how they faired…the answer was varied. S... |
