My Locale West Virginia
About Me I was a guide for many years in Yellowstone, Denali, and Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Moved to Eugene, Oregon, for my Master's and got a good taste of the PNW. Now I'm in West Virginia making maps for all of our wonderful national parks with the NPS Publications program at Harpers Ferry Center.

Summerlite Has Arrived
After my Atom snaffu, I rethought things and ordered a Summerlite. Push came to shove, and I took your advice to heart, Don. The full-length zipper and baffles, WM's reputation, and a bad tas...

ULA Amp
Brian uses non-stretch cord on the Amp's compression system. I assume he does this for the same reason you'd think about it, i.e. better volume control, and he knows what he's doing wi...

Well alright then!
Thank you for the info. You've just saved me a considerable amount of money and frustration. Do you know if Esbit tabs are available anywhere in the park? I'll almost certainly have to...

That's what I was thinking
Thanks for the advice guys. I definitely agree with you that not asking is the best policy. When asking rangers in Yellowstone about somewhat grey areas, the answer was almost always no, probably...

Bushbuddy in Denali?
There's a good chance that I'll be living and working in Denali National Park all summer. This has made the BushBuddy stove sound like a very attractive cooking option for me. Not only wo...

I was a guide in Denali NP during the summer of 2008. It rained almost every day for all of July and the first week of August this year, and I was out in it all day, every day. My MontBell Peak She...

Marmot Ion
Man, what a disappointment. I, too, got stuck with the Campmor version of the Ion. I'm quite thin and short-waisted, so the Ion's athletic cut and short length were great for me. The fit of...
