Re: Where do you backpack? Mostly, I pack in the Adirondacks in NY. No real mountains, the highest peak is a about a mile. The North Country Trail (Finger Lakes Trail) is near by. I often hike that area too. (Sections of AT ... |

Re: "Another Cuben Tent Question?" "Could use catenary cut triangles instead of loops to spread out the pulling force and cause less distortion in the canopy?" I think that would work. Distributing the live load from wi... |

Re: Re: re "Methyl alcohol is better..." "I disagree. Heat content aside, it is nasty stuff as a liquid and as a fuel, and that is before you add denaturing products." I hope that ... |

Yellow HEET, SLX Yellow HEET or SLX seem good. Everclear is best if you can get it. Avoid isopropynol or rubbing alcohol. It never burns cleanly (I have tried about 20 different designs) and it will produce bad vap... |

Re: dangerous Eric, yes, I agree. 1L is not enough. But, Roger is just making a point. That is all he would BRING. He did not mention coffee/tea/juice in the morning. He did not mention getting back to the pub (... |

Klymit Inertia X Frame I picked up a Xframe (full size) a couple weeks ago. I took it out for 5 nights last weekend with my daughter, Brenda. I had a good trip but was unimpressed by the pad. I tried various techniques with... |

Trail Designs Caldera Stove Great little piece of gear. Light, easy to use, miserly on fuel. Keeps the heat in on the pot and does a great job of boiling water. I will complain that it does not let enough heat out sometimes...... |

Thermarest Neo-Air The NeoAir is a good pad, with a fantisticcall price. I have a medium which just fits me at 5'9". I usually inflate this fully while setting up camp, giving it a couple of breaths before slee... |
