Re: Pack Question continued I never compress insulation either- still too big...at least for what I carry. If it's right for you, I doubt it will be for long, as you get smaller and lighter items... A lot of people pu... |

Golite Sun Dragon shoes I just got off 3 days of backpacking on the Olympic Coast with these shoes and I love them! In my size 11-11.5 they weight 14.9 oz (compared to 13.1 oz for my Inov8 FlyRoc 310s). That's pretty... |

Big Sur Bars Original All 3 varieties of Big Sur Bars are delicious. They taste like a soft, healthy cookie and remain soft when the temp drops (although like all bars they will freeze). They also pack 680 calories i... |
