Re: Ursack Vs. Bear cannister? The short answer is no, they're not as secure and even if they save your food from a frontal assault, it'll be pretty squashed afterwards. That said, the bag is hugely easier to pack and carry, ... |

Re: JMT shelter recommendation? Yup, you'll want the two screens: bug and sun. |

Re: Infinity sizing You'll want a large unless your Levi's inseam is 36". I agree with the other comments--it's a nice, comfortable pack. |

Re: Double Rainbow Youse guyz is sounding like the razor designers; what are up to now, five blades? I think they should skip six blades and go straight to seven. Likewise, how does Lucky Seven Rainbow sound? The ... |

Re: The Dynasty Ends? It's an interesting observation, but only the passage of time can tell whether it represents the end of TNF GT garments. They've certainly been selling non GT WPB shells for several years alongside... |

Re: filters, particle size, turbidity, etc. Ultimately, I think we're more interested in mass reduction than absolute particle size. Of course, finer media = greater mass reduction. From what I read turbidity, as measured in NTU, consider... |

Re: coffee filters Hi Paul, I know from using both that metal coffee filters all pass "fines" and result in cloudy coffee, at least compared to paper filters which make perfectly clear coffee (however dark). I don... |

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... |
