emailing GoLite I emailed GoLite a while back with a suggestion for kids packs, since many of the packs I was able to find for my son were significantly heavier than my own Jam. I received an email back thanking ... |

Insane prices on GoLite Breezes Doug, That's why I've quit looking. I'd love to have a Breeze, but I'm just not interested in paying out that kind of money for a discontinued pack that I may not even like! He... |

Cooking Cup Thanks for the input everyone! I had a feeling this was one of those "depends on the person" types of things, and it appears I was right! Luckily, there's a lot of variation to where... |

Mini-bull beercan alcohol stove? I might be wrong, but I think mini-bull designs makes an alcohol stove specifically designed for use with Ultralight Outfitter's beercan stove. It might be worth a look-see. Tom |

How big a cup for cooking? I'm curious what everyone here uses for cooking in. Thus far, I've got a 5.5 ounce 1 qt pot and a Snow Peak 450 single-wall cup. I've been thinking I should pick up a Snow Peak 600 fo... |

New GoLite Website Hopefully, GoLite will fix this soon. I have to be honest though, my trust in GoLite as a company is starting to wane due to this. A poor website design might be a stand-alone problem, but it may... |

Re: New Golite website They have one other frameless pack that I can't find on the website, the Ion. They have the heavier expedition packs, the Jam2, the Pennacle, etc...but no Ion. Tom |

Re: sleeping pad as frame? I can't tell you what will work best, but I CAN tell you that a full-length Ridge Rest won't work worth a snot. It eats up so much pack space that you don't have any room left over for... |

Golite Jam I bought my GoLite Jam on closeout, since I was gearing up completely and needed to save money where I could. However, after trying the pack out, I have to say it was money well spent. I currently r... |

Petzl e+LITE I got caught out past dark, and my e+Light really saved my butt. On maximum, it was enough to help me find my way for the next couple of miles to get to camp, and help me set up. I didn't notice... |

Lighten Up! by Don Ladigin First, let me preface this by saying that I found no new information in the book really. However, that doesn't take away from the book. What I did was read it in the context to which it was inte... |

Lighten Up DVD with Glen Van Peski . I purchased this DVD as a bit of a lark. I had heard some good things about it, and wanted to actually SEE some of the ultralight gear and techniques put to use. Not only that, but one of my guilty ... |

Coleman Peak 1 Microstove Purchased partly by accident, partly by impatience, the Peak 1 Microstove is actually a pleasant surprise. It's easy to light, easy to control, fairly fuel efficient, and realitively inexpensive ... |

The Ultralight Backpacker by Ryel Kestenbaum When I stumbled across this book at my local bookstore, I was excited beyond belief. A book on ultralight backpacking was exactly what I was looking for, and Lighten Up! was apparently sold out. &qu... |
