Re: Re: How do you fill Caldera fuel bottle? I use an ice pick, stake, or whatever long, slender object is closest at hand. I've opened my a dozen times or so and haven't had any issues. The fuel bottle I prefer to us is a small co... |

Re: Tent Peg Hammer? A shoe works pretty well too and is my preferred method. But a rock works equally well if you're dealing with tough ground. As for stake pullers, a rock (or pocket knife, or spork, or extra ... |

Re: I vote for commando, myself I take the middle ground. I wear running shorts with a built in liner. Shorts and undies in one. Plus they double (triple?) as swimming trunks for us modest folks. At 5.6 oz they're the best... |

Re: Alcohol Fuel Bottles Small bottle that previously held contact solution. They come in many sizes but I like the 4oz and 8oz ones the best. You can pry the top off pretty easily with a pair of needle nose pliers and it ... |

Re: Re: Best Pack from REI Or you could use the dividend to swaddle yourself in some sweet merino wool. I would advise against buying a pack before you have everything else worked out. I would also suggest picking up a real ... |

Re: High Speed Backpacking - why I don't necessarily feel like I walk quickly, I just have longer legs than some people and it seems like I'm going fast :P In all seriousness, if I manage to get 2 days in a row off I... |

Re: Footware for Fording Creeks I just slosh right on through in my trailrunners. Nothing disrupts a hike like having to take off boots and socks, strap them to a pack, then dry your feet off and put them back on. My Salomon Tech... |

Re: Little big mods I couldn't think of one the first time I read the thread but I just remembered one. The rear pockets on my hiking pants are nice and deep and used to have velcro closures. This presented a p... |

Re: Chest case for DSLR I carry my camera just like Ryan. I like it lower like his second picture. The camera is easier to get to that way plus it makes a dandy platform for note-taking (if you are so inclined). I've ... |

Melanzana micro grid hoody Let me just echo everything the previous reviewer said. The fit is great, not tight and not baggy, the sleeves are just the right length, and the pocket is useful. As for the hood, I was a little s... |

BPL FireLite Mini Firestarter I keep this around my neck with some other "just in case" items. I too have a little bit of a hard time getting it to work consistently and use matches as my primary means of fire starting. ... |

Gossamer Gear ThinLight insulation pad 1/8" approx. 2 oz. I've been using my GG 1/8" Thinlight both to supplement my GG Nightlight Torso and as a sit pad. Its great with the torso pad to insulate your legs on colder nights. It provides some addi... |

Petzl e+LITE Like Craig, I don't use a light that much, mostly just for chores around camp that I can't preform with only moonlight. As such I was tired of lugging around my "heavy" 3 oz PT Auror... |

Gossamer Gear G6 Whisper One more person to note how fragile it seems. I've got a spinnaker tarp and groundsheet, so I was aware how fragile it seemed but I always feel a little wary when I sit this pack down. So far I ha... |

Gossamer Gear I placed my first order from Gossamer Gear, a Nightlight Torso and Lighten Up! DVD last Wednesday. I received my first order from GG last Saturday. Now that's fast! As for their products, they se... |

Gossamer Gear Nightlight Torso I just received my Nightlight torso and these are merely my initial observations. It is REALLY light, mine weighs 3.6 oz. I bought it to replace an older Thermarest pad that weighed about 26 oz and t... |

Lighten Up DVD with Glen Van Peski . For only $5 this DVD has a lot to offer. I began converting to UL backpacking awhile ago, but reading books and advice on the forums just isn't quite the same as seeing it in action. I'm a v... |

Princeton Tech Aurora I picked up the PT Aurora 4 or so years ago when I was starting to get into backpacking. I looked at a few different headlamps, but at the time this seemed like the best value. Since then it has b... |

Tealight stove Tealight After not getting great results with other alcohol stoves on my SP 700 I decided to try out the tealight stove. Nothing could be easier to 'make.' Just find an extra tealight laying around th... |
