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.

Re: no more jetboilers
I agree with Eric...but then again, due to my love of alcohol or Esbit stoves (I am not a huge fan of canister stoves) my opinion may also be a bit biased... :) I do remember the POE thread...t...

Fast Pack Pad Thai
Nathan, thanks for sharing the link. I have come to really like this recipe, but I found out that I can only take so much of the oil... I am not sure if I just had too much with 1 oz per serving, o...

Re: Golite poncho tarp a little confusing
I also swapped out the cord in the hood for a small diameter shock cord with a cord lock. I am sure it saved a fraction of an oz, but it doesn't show up on my scales any different. (That don...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: theft it is
Wow...it sure enough was removed because I had posted on it... My Jetboil still works fine, as far as I know, but I don't ever use it other than to loan it out. They sure do seem awfully ske...

I am a big fan of the Opsaks. I always use one in conjunction with my food bag, which is most of the time a ZPacks Blast food bag (with the cinch top). I have a trip coming up in 2 weeks, and ha...

Re: Open Country 2qt pot 7.8oz. (a 15 dollar aluminum pot vs. 60 dollar 7.9oz titanium pot!)
Congrats on the newfound enlightenment! That's always a nice surprise. As far as REI's listed specs, take them with a grain of salt. They are often wrong. For more accurate results, scou...

I don't have my quilts just yet, but I feel confident enough to say give Tim at enLIGHTened equipment a try! I have been talking with him ALOT over the last few days about some quilts, and IMO,...
