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: Golite 1+ down vs synthetic. which one to keep?
That would be a tough call... maybe you could keep both and use one or the other as a loaner...? Chris, I have a RS 1+ season quilt in a long that I do not need (I am currently waiting on 2 quil...

Re: Re: RE: Removing handle from IMUSA cup
I keep half of a Lightload towel in my cook pots. I use it to simply dry the pots out since all I do is boil water in my pots. The LightLoad towel works great as a pot lifter though and only weighs...

Doesn't work in my experience

TNF Verto
I picked up a Verto a while back as my first wind jacket, and I have been more happy with it than I expected I would. I picked up a size large and can layer it over my R1 and my MB UL Down Inner Pa...

Re: Imusa mug
I cut mine off using a dremmel. Just cut the handles where they meet the cook pot at rather than popping the rivets out. Then if you would like, you can work the edges down a little so they won'...
