Re: More than being "light". The beauty of simplicity. That's sort of where I'm going now, too. It's one of the reasons I like alcohol stoves- there is nothing simpler than a puddle of burning fuel. No valves, no o-rings, no non-reusable ... |

bivy How about a bug bivy? MLD makes one. Not as multi-use or as cheap as a headnet, but it'll keep ticks at bay. Or just use a normal water-resistant bivy with a large netting area, like the lar... |

worms Necator americanus is my favorite parasite, I must admit. Primarily because it's Linnaean name means "American killer." Heh, heh. But Ascaris worms scare me more- they can burrow... |

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... |
