mapping solutions for the Arizona Trail
I know how it goes with Chaff. Just a bump in case the original poster isn't watching the thread. (Someone may also want to PM him.)

Re: Bear Valley bars
Thanks, Chris. In fact, it's thanks to your mention of the bars in your book "Crossing Arizona" that I discovered them.

Re: Polycryo groundsheets
I dunno. Financial practicalities and other matters aside, sometimes I just like the idea of "honoring the inspiration," the source of good ideas, ideas from which I've benefited, Gos...

Here's what I'd recommend doing in this case: 1) Become an ATA member, so that you can... 2) Download the GPS track data for (most) trail passages from their website 3) Purchase Nation...

Re: Polycryo on Amazon
84" x 112" for $18 (Amazon) 80" x 96" for $6 (Polycryo 2 pack at Gossamer Gear) Frost King's allotment looks to be the equivalent of 3 GG sales units, but you'd pa...

SPF clothing
Lots of times when a hiking shirt, let's say, is marketed as a "desert" shirt, or a shirt for hot / summery use in general, the matter of SPF, or UPF as I guess they're calling it...

Re: Nat'l Geo Topo State Specific CD's
Hi Kevin. Try this: 1) Open the application. 2) Go to map zoom level 1, if not already there. 3) On the national map, click on NY/NJ to zoom in until a dialog box pops up. 4) Follow the promp...

Re: Weekend in Rhode Island
Judging by the quality of that suggestion, Bill would make a good tour guide. Just to clarify, though, Providence to Franconia Notch is a 3 hour (180 mile) drive under the best of circumstances,...

White Box Alcohol Stove
The absence of a separate pot stand is an elegant little feat of stove engineering, and the design is marginally lighter than a pop can stove and stand (0.3 oz lighter than the Go-Torch by MoGoGear), ...

Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap
The fact that the cape is entirely removable, rendering a standard ball cap, is both a boon and bane. The cap alone, with its hip, curved brim and streamlined look, passes the urban street test, w...

Montbell Super Stretch Down Hugger #3
My new 2007 model 800-fill bag failed bigtime in the warmth department. Even with ample layering, pad, and use inside a tent, I couldn't seem to shake off annoying cold spots and a palpable sense ...

Light My Fire Spork
Other reviewers have covered the LMF Spork's merits. And while I certainly agree, there's just no getting around the fact that mine broke into two pieces after just two days of use. Inevitably...

This one doesn't quite reach cruising altitude for me. To begin with, the Vapor Trail's extension collar is unfathomably tall, and doesn't lend much functionality to this pack, but serves primarily...
