vbl ^ hey whatever works works- right :) I decided to try some thin latex gloves under my fleece gloves today as conditions were less than ideal for running- started at 20F w/ ~ a 10 mph wind, an ho... |

Re: UL 4 season tent ^ this is the route I went as well, not a Golite pyramid, but a MLD Duomid- handles all but the very worst of wind and snow loads, use a Tyvek groundsheet for a floor, trekking or ski poles for sup... |

system vs one glove clearly a "system" is superior to one glove and outer mitts are warmer than outer gloves I use a very thin liner (Patagonia) w/ a mid-weight fleece mitt (OR PL400) and waterproof outer... |

"fancy" fleece I have a couple of Capilene beanies that are light, fit nicely, washup easy and breathe very well, they should last near a life time (unless I lose them like I do gloves! :)) I also have a MH Do... |

snowshoes Stephen- the nice thing about snowshoes is if you can walk, you can snowshoe :) There is a little getting used to them, but not an involved skill set like skiing I used trekking poles (w/ snow ... |

Re: Multiday setup Art- if I'm able to make it and have the pack, I'll definitely bring it so everyone can take a peek. Arm swing is one of my worries as well, they do have some unique shaped bottles that co... |

Re: small pack/vest Patrick- I looked at the PB (nice looking pack), but it's smaller yet- I think it would be great for unsupported long days (R2R2R, TransZion, etc), but unless the volume is severely underrated,... |

Petzl e+LITE I thought I had added my review earlier on this lamp, but hadn't :) I've been very impressed w/ this diminutive lamp- if you're looking for a lamp for hours of night travel- this isn'... |

Black Diamond Carbon Cork @ 16 oz (pair) these are certainly heavier than some of the UL offerings, but still relatively light the FlickLock is about as solid of a adjustment as I've seen for trekking poles- I'm sur... |

ULA Ohm not sure why it's listed with the frameless packs, while not a robust frame- the carbon fiber/derlin frame is certainly a frame and definitely helps w/ the load capacity of this pack anywho- th... |

Montrail Sabino Trail My first pair are over a year old now w/ ~ 500 backpacking/trail running miles- there is some light fraying here and there, but overall are still in very good condition. I've never had a hot spot... |

Dirty Girl Gaiters I'd probably go 4.5 just because of the needed velcro, but I like these enough I wanted to round up. They are breathable, they are light and they do a great job of keeping stuff out of your sho... |

Osprey Talon 22 double post- whoops :) |

Osprey Talon 22 The Talon is a very full featured pack, that carries like a dream (w/ reasonable loads). I use it for snowshoeing day trips and it swallows up the gear- shovel, bivy, down parka, etc I love the be... |

Wet Fire Fire Starting Tinder I'm a little redundant w/ fire starting stuff (boy scout in me I guess)- the wetfire tinders are my "if I absolutely need to start a fire" tinder. they will even burn in water or on sno... |

Smartwool Beanie my Smartwool beanie makes into both my day pack and multi-day trips, light weight, warm, takes up almost no space- I don't go anywhere w/o it going on two years and it still looks/fits great |
