Savory Pizza Muffins I just made these, and they are excellent. Since I don't have silly feet muffin cups, I glopped the bag of mix into my 2 cup titanium bowl and set it into my 3 cup AGG pot with about an inch o... |

Chicken Tuscany Soup Mr. B's efforts to nurse me back to health during my recent bout with the flu included opening a can of Progresso Chicken Tuscany soup for lunch yesterday. I read the label and figured maybe I... |

Single best piece of advice ever given? My father used to tell my brother when they'd go on backpacking trips (no girls allowed - this was the late 50's and early 60's and dear ol' dad was from the old school), "you ... |

Winter Emergency Bivy Sack No, they were not the MPI bags. That's the problem. They sent those little space blankets that come in a small, cardboard box that you can buy at Target and weigh 4 oz. They didn't send ... |

Winter Emergency Bivy Sack David - I had the same problem. I ordered 2, and 2 of those little 4 oz. space blankets came last week. I emailed them twice and called once and told them about the mistake. They mailed me a ret... |

Phone Choice As Mary pointed out, most of the time there is just plain ol' no reception and the phone is dead weight. I still carry it, though, because on occasion in the recent past there were news ar... |

Phone Choice I have found there are 2 parts to getting good cell reception in hiking areas: strong service and a strong phone. That's why I switched to verizonwireless. In the areas I haunt here in t... |

Silk is single-purpose in my opinion Re:Lightest weight baselayers My experience is the same as Jim's. I wore silk longjohns and tops as baselayers for a few years until I realized I didn't need to be that wet and cold all the time. Silk may work if you&... |

StudyingLight This is a great article. Thanks for posting the link. I shouldn't read this stuff, though, because it just makes me worse. I plan to build a Tumbleweed House (the Harbinger model) if the m... |

Botach Tactical Customer Service I had a similar experience to David's. They sent the inferior space blankets, rather than the correct order, took forever to send a return UPS shipping label, and only yesterday admitted to recei... |

Boomer's Guide to Lightweight Backpacking by Carol Corbridge I was very disappointed in this book. Luckily, I didn't buy it but had checked it out from the library. For starters, the book is in major need of copy editing. There are lots of awkward sent... |

Backpacking Light Merino UL Pants These do everything BPL promised - provide comfortable warmth without being bulky. I've worn them under non-winter hiking pants all winter, and they've extended the comfort range down to 7 de... |

Hikelight.com Company I just discovered this website that is based in Oregon. It seems to be a distributor of some of our favorite brands - SixMoonDesigns, Tarptent, Montbell, GraniteGear, and Western Mountaineering. No ... |

HarmonyHouseFoods.com vegetables and beans I just received my second order of dehydrated food from Harmony House. First I bought the vegetable pantry stuffer - 16 different quart-sized containers of various dehydrated vegetables, and then a we... |

Golite Paradox pants I'm not sure whether to review these in raingear or softshell clothing, because they're both. They are all-day pants, rather than rain pants to pull on over hiking pants and are made of a fab... |

Sealskinz gloves I had the same experience as Brett. My non-waterproof gloves absorbed less water than these. |

ULA Circuit This pack was on backorder, but it came sooner than Brian said it would. I gave it a 2-day test this last weekend on a short backpacking trip in the Cascades. I was pleased that it was as comfortabl... |
