Anyone done a SUL Thru-Hike?
Or what is the longest number of nights that you have spent out using a SUL system? Just curious, and looking to learn from someone that has done longer trips--what worked, what didn't, what...

Re: Nice input
Thanks. Funny that I'm not the only grad student on here with a custom Zero! What's your field? English Lit. here, plan on going for doctorate. 2012 is starting off well for me. I kind...

A relatively new convert to UL's take on "stagnation" and such
Over a year ago or so, I weighed my gear for the first time, made my first gear list, and posted it on here for feedback. I have to admit, my mind was blown. But I kept and open mind, tried some ...

all good here
Inflated mine and left it over night twice, plus both my wife and I laid on it to try it out, and I let my 2 year old son roll around on it a bit. No leaks. I wonder if they tried fixing your X...

Re: Nick and Dan
@Nick: I was born in LA, actually, and there are times I miss it of course. One day I do plan on doing the entire PCT. Around 140g for your stove is excellent. I was about to remark that I had y...

Re: everyone
@Bobby: I have heard good things about light grills like the Zia, but for me, anything that can be grilled can also be cooked on a stick or in a tin foil pouch. @Kevin: I agree about a hot cup o...

Ditching the stove and my new SUL gear list
After finally setting my mind on getting a Zpacks Zero in Hybrid fabric (just need to save up some dough, but hopefully by next month I will have it) to complete my 2 season (May to September) SUL ...
