Re: What do you do for a living? My degree is in Electrical Engineering, but since I'm not a PE the company I work for calls me a Technology Specialist. We do most M/E/P consulting work, but my group specializes in low voltage... |

Re: DSLR newbie I started with a D40, 18-55, and 55-200 VR and it makes for a very light, compact, versatile kit. If low light performance bothers you the most, I'd suggest either a tripod if most of your subj... |

Re: Thermarest Ridgerest I think my Ridgerest is pretty versatile and just as comfortable as a 1" inflatable mat for me. I bought the full length Ridgerest and cut it in half so I have two 36" long pads. For ligh... |

Re: Re: Re: Car camping near Kansas CIty My wife and I went to a play at Arrow Rock last year but didn't have time to really explore it much. It seems like an interesting place though but we've been meaning to get back to check it... |

Re: Car camping near Kansas CIty 2-3 hours is tough. We just moved to Lenexa from Rolla, MO and we still go back to that area for camping/hiking. If you can stretch to 5 hours you'll have a world of opportunities. One of the b... |

Re: Backpacking in Eastern MO The Wilderness Trail at Meramec State Park is a nice one to introduce a person hiking. I'd avoid the Berryman in general but especially as a first hike. Its a well-used trail that gets a lot of... |

Re: What to do with damaged Icebreaker shirt? I just checked and it is out of warranty so I think its going to become a balaclava/hood. I like the looks of the pattern in Bill's link, I've got quite a bit of left over insulation from o... |

Re: Dog Beds in the backcountry I haven't taken my dog hiking yet, but he goes car camping with the wife and I. He always manages to find a way to sneak onto a self-inflating mat. One night my wife froze out and slept in the ... |

What to do with damaged Icebreaker shirt? I wore my Icebreaker 150 t-shirt on a bike ride a while back. I got sweaty and when I pulled on the collar to take it off the collar came but the shirt stayed. It ripped most of the way around the ... |

Re: First real hike in trail runners... Blisters I've never had a blister wearing my Flyrocs (with the standard insole) and thin Smartwool socks. Have you used the Superfeet in previous shoes? I've never used them myself but I did hav... |

Melanzana micro grid hoody Let me just echo everything the previous reviewer said. The fit is great, not tight and not baggy, the sleeves are just the right length, and the pocket is useful. As for the hood, I was a little s... |

BPL FireLite Mini Firestarter I keep this around my neck with some other "just in case" items. I too have a little bit of a hard time getting it to work consistently and use matches as my primary means of fire starting. ... |

Gossamer Gear ThinLight insulation pad 1/8" approx. 2 oz. I've been using my GG 1/8" Thinlight both to supplement my GG Nightlight Torso and as a sit pad. Its great with the torso pad to insulate your legs on colder nights. It provides some addi... |

Petzl e+LITE Like Craig, I don't use a light that much, mostly just for chores around camp that I can't preform with only moonlight. As such I was tired of lugging around my "heavy" 3 oz PT Auror... |

Gossamer Gear G6 Whisper One more person to note how fragile it seems. I've got a spinnaker tarp and groundsheet, so I was aware how fragile it seemed but I always feel a little wary when I sit this pack down. So far I ha... |

Gossamer Gear I placed my first order from Gossamer Gear, a Nightlight Torso and Lighten Up! DVD last Wednesday. I received my first order from GG last Saturday. Now that's fast! As for their products, they se... |

Gossamer Gear Nightlight Torso I just received my Nightlight torso and these are merely my initial observations. It is REALLY light, mine weighs 3.6 oz. I bought it to replace an older Thermarest pad that weighed about 26 oz and t... |

Lighten Up DVD with Glen Van Peski . For only $5 this DVD has a lot to offer. I began converting to UL backpacking awhile ago, but reading books and advice on the forums just isn't quite the same as seeing it in action. I'm a v... |

Princeton Tech Aurora I picked up the PT Aurora 4 or so years ago when I was starting to get into backpacking. I looked at a few different headlamps, but at the time this seemed like the best value. Since then it has b... |

Tealight stove Tealight After not getting great results with other alcohol stoves on my SP 700 I decided to try out the tealight stove. Nothing could be easier to 'make.' Just find an extra tealight laying around th... |
