Re: Re: Re: Super Stretch? With the Super Stretch series only, I find that loft is compromised even when the bag is in a relaxed position. The elastic baffle thread contracts to a linear dimension smaller than that of the ou... |

TorsoLite weight Holy manufacturing variances Batman. My new TorsoLite pad weighs in at a mere 8.9 ounces. That's a whole ounce lighter than the touted: Weight: 10-11 oz (283-312 g) - depends on manufacturin... |

Re: Super Stretch?? It's been my experience that the outer stretch baffles of Super Stretch series DO constrict loft somewhat, resulting in leaky seams. This is a byproduct of the design and is not based on manner... |

Re: Pot lifters? >>On my 1100, I recently made a small bail for the pot out of a bicycle spoke A guitar string can also work as a bale. Something like a round-wound D string would strike a good balance bet... |

Re: dehydrated hamburger? What it is is a recipe for an E. Coli infection. Not to be flippant (flipping?), but I've been down the dried burger route on long hikes, nevermore. The problem seems to be that dehydration... |

coral snakes "However, I believe that most rattlesnakes in the United States have hematoxic venom so a snake bite kit is a good idea a lot of times, in the US at least." They're all hemotoxic e... |

Re: One comments Owing to the low-stretch, low-sag qualities of spinnaker, and to the tent's taut pitch, lifters are absolutely not needed. GG's upcoming mods seem all well and good, although nothing is ... |

White Box Alcohol Stove The absence of a separate pot stand is an elegant little feat of stove engineering, and the design is marginally lighter than a pop can stove and stand (0.3 oz lighter than the Go-Torch by MoGoGear), ... |

Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap The fact that the cape is entirely removable, rendering a standard ball cap, is both a boon and bane. The cap alone, with its hip, curved brim and streamlined look, passes the urban street test, w... |

Montbell Super Stretch Down Hugger #3 My new 2007 model 800-fill bag failed bigtime in the warmth department. Even with ample layering, pad, and use inside a tent, I couldn't seem to shake off annoying cold spots and a palpable sense ... |

Light My Fire Spork Other reviewers have covered the LMF Spork's merits. And while I certainly agree, there's just no getting around the fact that mine broke into two pieces after just two days of use. Inevitably... |

Granite Gear Vapor Trail This one doesn't quite reach cruising altitude for me. To begin with, the Vapor Trail's extension collar is unfathomably tall, and doesn't lend much functionality to this pack, but serves primarily... |

Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo In regard to the above comment: >>"It is a pain to get this set up to look like the website, particularly on uneven or non-level ground. While looks may not be important, getting enough head room fo... |

GoLite Infinity Make no mistake. This pack has a lot going for it. As others have pointed out, its 3000 ci capacity is just about perfect for thru-hiking ultralighters. In terms of organizational ability it is fe... |

Salomon XA Comp 2 I've enjoyed the weight, stability, and fit of the Salomon trail runners for years. Unfortunately the XA Comp seems to have devolved in recent times from a comfortable and durable product to one with ... |
