Re: Groundsheet sometimes needed So, a tarp... do you use a bivy? If so I question the need for a groundsheet at all. Otherwise, yes, polycro seems to be well thought of. |

claustrophobic bivys I'm a very athletic sleeper, so I got a size XL bivy for the extra room even though I'm only average-sized. It works well for me, no claustrophobia. And, yes, almost all of these bivys ha... |

Ultimate Hiker's Gear Guide -Andrew Skurka book Wow, how to rate this book? It is NOT meant for someone who is already an experienced UL hiker. There is nothing in this book that someone like that doesn't already know or can find out in fiv... |

Klepper Double wood framed folding kayak I own a Long Haul Mark 2, which is a copy of the Klepper Double. Though the fasteners vary very slightly the Klepper frame can use the Long Haul hull-skins and vice versa. The guy who builds the Lon... |

Sawyer In-Line Filter I have a slightly different kit- the 0.1 micron 4-way filter. Of the filters available I give it a 5. It's not perfect, but IMHO it is the best that is available, hands down. The 4-way kit come... |

La Sportiva Crosslite Personally, I rate this shoe a 5/5 because I'm ecstatic to find a shoe that FITS! (I have mutant monkey-feet.) But generally it is probably a 4. Listen, ye, to my tale of woe... I just mov... |
