Re: Re: Re: Shirt/Logo?
Thanks, Allison. Of course I was hardly worthy of your thoughtful response.

Re: Shirt/Logo?
The Penobscot Indians used to wear the fur of the muskrat with the tail and legs still attached. Also, the head would be left on to form a little pouch around the waist, into which would go fishing...

Re: Recommendations for a weekend in RI
Painfully flat? Emphatically no. Painfully less-than-alpine? Well, yes. And you won't find any National Forests or large tracts of public land in the Ocean State, either. (You WILL find the oce...

Re: Price
Show me another lightweight, button-up shirt that's breathable AND mosquito-proof - at any price - and I, for one, would like to see the size of the rock it's been hiding under.

Re: pet peeves
Pet peeves postings are pretty annoying, or really anything seductively atopical posted in an unassailably PC way. To wit, yeah it's *your* Chaff, but it's MY "Last 50 posts" list...

Re: Backpacking Light's New Thorofare Collection
Actually, the press release mentions a tight weave, rather than a "light weave" per Nathan. If the thread count is truly high enough to keep out mosquito proboscises, then SPF should be r...

Re: 0.6 oz AAx4 solar battery charger
Silicon Solar actually sent me the wrong model (4AA instead of 4AAE). The 4AAE is a somewhat larger panel and delivers twice the output of the 4AA. So I'm waiting for that to arrive, and in the...

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...
