Re: Buddy bear vs. lined loose Ursack Since the Ursack isn't truly rigid and smooth, and has a drawstring and the opening, it's hard to imagine a bear couldn't snag it and saunter off. I would anchor the thing. |

Re: Max Adapter So there's life for those Max stoves after all, no matter what happens to the fuel. The Fyrestorm would require the inverse of this item to use Max cartridges. Hopefully something less...large. ... |

Re: Using a Markill adapter to use PowerMax fuel with non-PowerMax stoves That's a slew of questions! I'll take my shot at a couple, then step aside for the experts to weigh in. re. the Fyrestorm, there is at present no Max adapter and I'd be surprised if there eve... |

Re: Tahoe-Yosemite trail gearlist Hi Ryan, Thanks for the link, I've got a much better idea of your route now. You can probably get a good idea of the various trail stretch conditions by following a couple of of the Sierra hikin... |

Re: Tahoe-Yosemite trail gearlist Ryan, Can you elaborate on the route? The "official" Tahoe-Yosemite trail is a well-established and well-maintained route. How does your proposed route differ? So far as I know there are no c... |

Re: The Straight Dope on DEET and Nylon Spandex is apparently damaged by DEET, so stretchy fabrics containing it would be out (good question!). http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/IG122 |

Re: The Straight Dope on DEET and Nylon I have not seen it damage nylon, but I have see it damage the coating on waterproofed nylon. I most commonly see it damaging (surface-etching/melting) certain hard plastics and painted surfaces. |

Re: Anthrax Inactivation Hi Katie, Thanks for your post, it's always great to have a manufacturer's representative participating on the boards! If you'll indulge a correction from a civilian, anthrax is a bacterium, ... |

Desolation, Carson-Iceberg Desolation has a lot of nice hikes--it's where I go most often and I know it pretty darn well. It's also heavily traveled in midseason, should you want to "get away from it all." Assuming you'll... |

Mountain Gear I've placed a few orders with Mountain Gear, going as far back as when they were based in Idaho, and they've responded flawlessly each time. I admire the breadth and high quality of their sele... |

Backcountrygear.com I have to put in a plug for these folks, with whom I've shopped on line and over the phone, and who also have a store in soggy Eugene, Oregon. They have a great backpacking and climbing selection f... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) As another Seattle kid who loved few things more than pilgrammages to the Capitol Hill store, I still associate the smell of cresote with hiking gear. It's hard to imagine backpacking without REI. ... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover I upgraded to the Micro Puff pullover after several seasons with the old Puffball pullover. Lighter, warmer, stuffs smaller--the Micro Puff is an all-around improvement to what was already a fine garm... |

MSR Titan Kettle Noting the shape isn't the most efficient for squeezing every btu from the stove, the MSR kettle remains a very good single-pot option. It packs nicely, works well with small to medium stoves, pours w... |

MSR SimmerLite I find the Whisperlite to be MSR's easiest liquid stove to use, and certainly the nicest to lug, bulk and weight-wise. Simmering performance is best with a light touch on the fuel pump--try using l... |

Golite Hex 3 I've used a Hex 2, the 3's somewhat smaller brother, with good success for a few seasons. The quarters are a little snug for six-footers, but it's a minor concern. My main complaint is that the ventil... |
