Stoic Hadron I've been looking at the same think; was on SAC yesterday sometime for less than $100, which made it a pretty good deal. I've got a 7-oz Montbell with 2-oz of down in it that works very wel... |

One night haul in Shenadoah, VA -- first solo since knee surgery Short version: tore out an ACL (for the second time) in August 2010; got it redone in December, months of therapy, etc. Have been slowly building back up, but haven't done a trip to push it. I ... |

Extending 30 degree bag into mid-20s I guess my other thought would be to realistically aim lower than you're at. I have often found myself in colder temps than I planned for (or that were forecast). Sometimes you're just in a... |

Extending 30 degree bag into mid-20s For what it's worth, my wife and I recently got Black Rock Gear down hats from Evan, and he was one of the easiest and nicest people I've worked with. He didn't have in stock what we ne... |

Lightweight on the trails Any chance a reduced visible UL presence is due to a lot of ULers camping LNT in areas not-visible from the trail? I wouldn't expect to see many of the BPL crowd in their campsites. The only... |

After-dinner hygiene in bear country Instead of toothpaste, I just use baking soda most of the time on the trail. A little bit in a tiny plastic jar lasts a long time, and is a multiuse substance. Also, no real odors. And as someon... |

Pacific Outdoor Equipment My only firsthand experience with POE has been with a pair of the Eco Thermo pads that my wife and I have used for cold weather camping the past few years. I've had no problems and have been im... |

Re: Just fine Stephen, What temps have you used it down to? And with what bag/layering system? From Konrad's post, it sounds like the potential problems with the POE Elite AC (assuming it holds air) are unl... |

Camp Xenon 4 New for spring/summer 2011, I was really excited about the Camp Xenon 4 poles. They looked like the best value/weight option on the market, so I was really excited to try them out. The 120cm poles spe... |

Stoic LTWT Sleeping Pad - short I recently picked up a pair of these when they were a good price (~$20/each); I usually use Z-Rests, but my wife prefers an inflatable mat, and these fit the bill for cost/weight/value. shape is nicel... |

Big Agnes Pumphouse Multi-Use Dry Sack and Pad Pump I agree with previous reviews that this bag only does one thing well -- put air in your sleeping pad. That said, I bring it along on most trips with friends, and it makes it easier for many people -- ... |
