Re: One pot for all stoves >I have switched to the 1.5 L. JetBoil pot. What is the weight of the pot, and also separately the two plastic covers? It felt rather heavy. However it might save much more weight of alcoho... |

Re: Ray Jardine That's weird. Works fine for me. You could try going to rayjardine.com and clicking News. I wonder if that would work? Same place. |

Re: Re: Why are the Ray Jardine books so expensive? >Simply put: he must not be printing the books anymore. Ray mentioned yesterday in his blog that he is working on the second edition of Beyond Backpacking. |

Petzl Zipka I have the original 3-LED Zipka (1.9 oz with Lithium batteries). It is my regular headlamp (when there's little likelihood of hiking at night) and I always carry it with me on day hikes. It isn... |

Beyond Backpacking by Ray Jardine This is a thick book with a lot of useful information. I found it inspiring, with a fairly well-balanced idea of hiking and camping with light gear. I've bought copies for friends, with the simple adm... |
