Re: Sleeping Pads - Inflatable or not? "Perhaps a better one would last longer?" I believe so -- else there would be a heck of a lot more bitching here about mishaps -- but we don't really see that, right? At the ris... |

Re: Re: Re: Sleeping Pads - Inflatable or not? Hi Leslie: I started hiking in my 40's and used blue foam for the first few years. It was fine at first -- then I started feeling aches and one arm or the other would go numb on me -- disru... |

Re: Sleeping Pads - Inflatable or not? Going back to non-inflatable? Good luck! What with aging and all -- many of us start off with the oh-so-light blue foam -- then "graduate" to self inflating -- and finally to air pads... |

Re: Questions for those who have imported gear from the UK to the US Good point re. VAT -- which is built into the price (truth be told, I wish stores will do the same here in the US in regard to our sales tax but that's a different topic entirely). Price and s... |

Re: Cameras I flip flop on this one all the time. First 10 years of my travel trips, I never took a camera. Very similar to what David Thomas wrote a few posts above. Then the last few trips, I started ... |

Re: Big Sky too short Not necessarily. Email Bob Molen to be sure. If you look at the photos, BS tent walls rise straight up quite a ways before they begin to curve inward. This is unlike most all other dome tents, ... |

Re: Clever Crime Pretty cool! It's one of many reasons why I travel with just a day pack -- like this one or this one -- on my person. My pack is never much more than half full -- and it carries everything... |

Big Sky Ultra C Aluminum Tent Stakes I've been using titanium shepherd hook stakes for years now -- loving their ultralight weight but disappointed with their suboptimal ground penetration and holding power. These stakes can be bent... |

Titanium Goat Adjustable CF Trekking Poles I received my pair and went on a moderate 2-hour hike today (approx. 2,000 ft. elevation gain over 2.7 miles -- then returning back down). I find the specs to be accurate, and the poles a beauty to... |

MontBell Versalite 20 This is a no-thrills but well-constructed frameless day pack. You can see photo and specs here. You can also see BPL... |

Coleman F1 Ultralight The first review touched on the F1's performance. This post will describe and critique the set up process. Prior to buying the F1, I have used the MSR PocketRocket (PR). With the PR, all you ... |

Micropur MP 1 Chlorine Dioxide Water Purifier Tablet Comparison to Potable Aqua above is incorrect. For bacteria and viruses, Micropur is just as effective and easy to use (15 minutes treatment time). It is only for protozoa (e.g. cryptosporidium) t... |
