Re: Batteries in back/batteries in front Thanks Paul, for your comments and pushing the experimental envelope :-) Would you say the Solo's batteries are too isolated to perform any heatsink duties, or benefit from lamp heating? (Compared ... |

Batteries in back/batteries in front I've come to feel that so long as the headlamp's lightweight and the overall form is compact, then there's little compelling reason to separate out the battery pack, other than for use in bitter co... |

Re: Canister Fuel Dimensions I've never found any smaller than the Snowpeak 110 gram canister, although IIRC the Jetboil canister looked very similar in the store, if a dollar more expensive. 3 1/2 inches wide, 2 1/4 inche... |

Re: sewing with spinnaker Don't overlook the GoLite Hex as a template. It's proven in windy conditions. IMHO the neatest teepee designs ever were the Moss Superflys. Very strong, but so dramatically curved they impinged ... |

Re: Black Diamond Zenix IQ vs. Princeton Tec Yukon HL Hi Bob, I've unfortunately not had a look at the HL but did spend a good deal of time testing the IQ. It appears that the HL isn't regulated. Although the Princeton Tec Website is silent on ... |

Re: ultimate digital---not quite yet Thanks for volunteering as a pioneer John. I'll be interested to hear (and see) how it works out. No optical viewfinder is a deal-killer for me; otherwise it hits a lot of my hot buttons. Adobe ... |

Re: Ricoh GR Okay, that Ricoh is pretty sweet, and the 21mm converter and hotshoe-mount optical viewfinder add considerable flexibility. I see it can take AAA batteries, good to know for extended trips. 6 oz w/... |

Re: Canon 1Ds Question for Photo Guys I'm very curious about this too. I have to confess that I've never owned a weather-resistant camera so have always worked around the issue, which sometimes means leaving camera in pack when in foul... |

Re: Film vs digital for backcountry photography Anatoly, I'm convinced that your observations and experiences parallel those of most working pros, and your results speak volumes. Speaking strictly as a long-time, fairly serious amateur I ... |

Re: Backcountry Photography First, I want to echo the complements to Anatoly for your wonderful article and accompanying photographs, as well as your multi-kilo reduction in kit weight (choke)! I'm in the curmudgeon camp o... |

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... |
