Re: Re: Well I ordered a no sniveller... So I came home from work to a nice surprise... my no sniveller in the mail! I layed it out, patiently waiting for it to loft up from its long trip in a small box, and that lasted... five minutes. ... |

Well I ordered a no sniveller... So I placed my order Tuesday, and the guys at JRB sent it Wednesday and gave me the tracking number, but the tracking number doesn't turn anything up. Add the fact that they are off at trail... |

Re: how 'bout the 6moondesigns wild oasis I would agree that the SMD wild oasis would be a good place to start, and would add the Gossamer Gear Spinnshelter. The GG website has directions to make a spinnshelter bathtub floor, which would ... |

Re: Re: jacksrbetter.com sale You guys are killing me. First, you point out the sale with the awesome price on the no sniveller. Then, you say new products, making me think if I buy the no sniveller, a self cleaning 3 ounce 1... |

Re: How would you set up 2 5'x8' tarps? You can affectivly turn two 8x5s into a 8x10 by joining them length-wise and using that as the ridgeline for a A-frame style pitch. Keeping that ridgeline from leaking, however, would take a littl... |

Re: 3 gm, 9" Titanium bike spokes: What to use for? What about light shelter support either shapped in the hood of a bivy, or on the foot-end of a tarp set up like the HS Contrail? Spokes would seem ideal for adding structure to a shelter in a numb... |

Re: My first attempt... Thanks for everybody's positive responses. I would like to get into specific gear instead of only speaking in generalities, but this is really a side project to my normal work (local govern... |

Jacks R Better No Sniveller quilt I have used this quilt 15 nights this summer, all in the northern Sierra in the greater Lake Tahoe area. Temperatures were between the low 30's and the high 40's. The quilt was used in con... |

Six Moon Designs Comet I have used this pack a total of 17 days this summer, including 15 on a thru-hike of the Tahoe Rim Trail. The pack volume and design suit my needs perfectly for carrying up to 5 days worth of food,... |

Titanium Goat Basic Bivy This review is for the large bivy with the old-style bug headnet (a mesh headnet bag sewn across the chest, pulled over the head, under the bivy). This is the best value hands down in water resista... |

Mountain Hardwear Phantom 32 F, 800 down The phantom 32 was my first light-weight item, and is still my favorite. Loft is great, the hood fits great, and there is enough room for me to add a down jacket or vest. The one downside is the .85 ... |

REI Minimalist Bivy Sack During the time I have used this bivy, I have experienced no condensation, even when the single wall tent I was in was dripping. I have not found a great solution to getting the bug-mesh away from my... |

02 Rainwear Rain Suit I've spent 3 solid days in this rain suit in a storm in Point Reyes, and one in the Sierra foothills. The suit was totally water and windproof, breathed very well (sweat only under pack straps and... |

Golite Den 2 Similar to tarptent designs, but no vestibule and made out of Golite's heavy-duty silnylon, so it weighs a little more (3.5 lbs). I have used it in Tahoe National Forest where it was used for me and a... |

Pacific Outdoor Equipment Max Compact I found this pad to be extremely comfortable (better than the bed I slept on through college), but it doesn't take much to get a chill through it. I bought a Gossamer Gear Thinlight pad for insulation... |
