Re: Re: Exped Packcover-Poncho???
Hi Marc, I ordered one from the US Exped distributer last week. Otherwise I would jump on this. When it arrives if I like it I may want another. So I'll let you know what I think. Carol

Exped Packcover-Poncho???
Does anyone know where to get an Exped Packcover-Poncho. I've seen it on their website, but can not find it for sale anywhere. Either new or used would be fine.

Re: Any Tricks for Working with Down?

Clark Jungle Hammock Ultra Light
I started hammocking a couple years ago with a Clark North American. Loved it, but too heavy. So I moved on to the Ultra Light. Also loved it. But, in search of an ever better hammock I made my ow...

Jetboil Personal Cooking System
