Re: Montbell Question for Paul Thanks for the follow-up, Paul. FWIW mine's a 725 edition, Alpine SS Down Hugger of the zipperless variety. I'm also impressed by the report you link. That's very impressive, especially if ... |

Re: TicTac Flashlight Hi Paul, I don't hold the secret decoder ring, but feel free to send an explanatory note along with your address as a support request, and Addie will be happy to forward it to me. http://www.... |

TicTac Flashlight Dear home-brewers, I stumbled across these clever, and certainly inexpensive DIY flashlight plans. I make no claims about its effectiveness, and question whether there's a better way than perman... |

Re: Montbell Question for Paul Thanks Paul, I'll look forward to your observations. My measurements, I'll have to say, are absolutely the greatest I could generate--vigorously fluffing the bag, laying it down and carefully le... |

Montbell Question for Paul Hi Paul, If you wouldn't mind, could you measure the total loft of your #5 to compare it with mine? Mine measures 4 inches in most areas, with a couple areas measuring 4.5 inches. (Measured i... |

Re: The power of Down Fill Hi Paul, You've taken a #7 to 50? That's great, if so. My #5 is definitely not a 40-deg bag, as indicated by their "comfortable temp" 42.8 deg rating. Low 50s is about it without wearing lots... |

Re:The power of Down Fill I'm led to understand that all down has some feather content. Even my WM and FF bags have feathers poke through the shell at some time or another. There's definitely more to down than feather co... |

Re: Panasonic TZ-1 First, I'd wait to read some complete reviews before plunking down my hard-earned cash. I've got a few quickie pros and cons, based only on the provided specs and descriptions. Pros Surprisin... |

Re: An Ursack thought It might work if you could find the correct size pots. However, I'd hate to see what they'd look like after fending off a bear assault. |

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... |
