Concerning Abbey and DS A-men! |

replacing the shockcord With the Cocoon, the biggest issue would be removing the eyelets the existing shockcord goes through. I propose cutting slots for the grosgrain where the eyelets are and buttonhole stitch around th... |

Those Cocoon Pants Incidentlally, if those Pants are a medium, Miguel D Arboleda, who often posts here, is desperately looking for a pair. |

re. Returning Cocoon balaclava and pant I can really understand about the Balaclava, which I tried but then opted for one of the Hooded Cocoons which have very nice hoods. I wrote a reader review on the Cocoon Balaclava---it was another ... |

homemade pack That looks great! Your corrective mods seem right on the money. Personally, on these UL packs, I prefer a sternum strap to a waist belt to stabilize loads, but that is an individual choice. A lot w... |

Drawstring help Roll tops are great. Most of my packs go this route. One idea for the drawstring (and casing size might be an issue as was mentioned) would be to tack the the drawstring to the pack 180 degrees fro... |

Icebreaker or alternatives For quality,it would be hard to go wrong with Icebreaker, Ibex, or Patagonia in their lightest weight merino. Icebreaker is the most stylie. Can't speak to Montbell wool. Gramicci merino wool (... |

Love 'n Backpacking Sure. Some Chapters of the Sierra Club have an outings section called "Sierra Singles". Guess what happens on those backpacks... I know several happy couples. Wow, active in Texas, too: ... |

Where's Consumer Reports when you need them... I'm sorta with Bill. Old Berber saying---the dogs may bark but the caravan moves on. I'm moving on to the weekend---time to light out for the territory. I'm going to...as Dead Kenned... |

Stimulus---I'm under-stimulated Hmmmm. No hood and Conduit (MH's W/B laminate) is not exactly the most breathable W/B out there. Keep trying MH. |

Mountain Laurel Designs Zip In the Sub one pound category of packs made specifically for backpacking, this is probably the finest blend of form and function---a "practical" SUL Pack that is still composed of lightweigh... |

Backpacking Light Firelite SUL-500 Cookpot ...but I do actually own one of these puppies, so I'll chime in. It's thin, thin, thin and I could squeeze a significant dent into it, in my hand. You don't get this extreme level of light... |

Playpus 2L Big Zip It's never leaked in it's 1 1/2 years of use and have come to trust it. I generally use this on group trips where it's nice to have larger volumes of purified water on hand in camp situati... |

Platypus Platy Reservoir The dedicated hydration systems by Platypus are more reliable than the "retrofit" of the resevoir into one. The Big Zip is far better to the purpose. |

BackpackingLight.com Very efficient and friendly CS from BPL. Addie (and Ryan---when A. is on vacation) runs a tight ship----my questions and requests have been handled very promptly and services like running down to the ... |

BMW Cocoon Pro 60 Parka Another preliminary review focusing on fit, features and construction. Although many of you might be more attracted with the (on paper) 1 oz. savings of weight of the Cocoon Hooded Pullover, the Pr... |

Patagonia Ready Mix Softshell Pants I got these to supplement my aging Golite Synergy pants---they have several things going for them. They are very light, very water resistant and have partial leg zips to ease putting on over shoes or ... |

MiniBullDesigns SSBIT Another very fine MBD alcohol stove. This one is a pressurized top jet design that produces a flame narrow enough to use with Heine and Foster can/pots. It was ostensibly designed to retrofit Esbit s... |

ULA Equipment Brian is not only a great designer of packs, but a great sewer, too, when the seamstress brigades of Logan, UT are fully engaged. He also has entertained us over the last few years with on-line diarie... |

MiniBullDesigns Stealth (ver.1) This fierce but absurdly light (.23 oz.) little side-burner is great for boiling water in a Snow Peak 600 cup. Takes about 6 min. Burns for about 8 minutes or so on 1 oz. of fuel. This was an earli... |
