Re: Re: Re: For every action a reaction Group hug? I like the new editorial calendar quite a bit. Looks like a great line-up--y'all are going to be busy. -Mark |

Re: Skunkworks Bill Fornshell writes: "'It seems the BMW skunkworks' Interesting word. Amusing how words and ideas migrate around until the orgin is lost." Big Barnsmell... Bill Fornshell... Hmmm. -Mark |

Re: 7.5oz BMW Shelter And the winner is... a much lighter Alphamid-type clone. Pretty cool. There's a photo on Ryan's blog. -Mark |

Re: Help needed for A level research. 1. Male. I like grey, black, brown for just about anything... also the odd bit of yellow or orange for shirts. 2. I'm hard pressed to think of any electronics I'd want built-in my clothing. I'd ra... |

Re: Re: UL insulated cup [Thinking out loud] What about something like a 12oz plastic peanut butter jar, or similar? You'd have an airtight, removable lid for mixing-- or you could drill a sip spout in there if you wanted.... |

Re: Re: Using hiking poles as a tent center pole You can see a photo of the two-trekking-pole method Paul describes here. The webbing and tri-glides might make a more secure fit. The concept is the same, though. -Mark |

Re: Re: UL insulated cup A good combo of lightweight and durability is to chop off the bottom of a plastic Coke/Pepsi bottle to your desired volume. The thicker soda bottles will be more durable. You can boil your sawed-of... |

Re: Inov-8 sizing? I wear fairly consistent USA size 11-11.5 in Montrail, NB, Aasics, Adidas, etc [size up 1/2 in Salomon]. My Flyroc 310s in USA 11 fit just fine. The only difference I notice is that the shoe is a b... |

Re: Re: The Ultimate Home Made Gear Website Basic ideas, but they get overlooked so often: -Table of contents/categories. -Name the creation and the niche it fills... what it may replace or make easier. -List the needed materials and wh... |

7.5oz BMW floorless tent? According to this page[owareusa.com], there's a prototype in the works... Maybe something to compete with the SpinnShelter? Or is that too obvious? -Mark |

GoLite Virga Used this one on the AT this summer. My particular model has 1 large pocket on the right-hand side. I accidentally purchased a Small @ 8.1oz, but it ended up working out just fine for size [5'11, ... |

Montrail Masai I like the Masai quite a bit. They don't wear as well as many other shoes. The toe rubber and seams started to flake out around the 300-mile mark, but surprisingly the fabric itself showed very li... |

Gossamer Gear Miniposa I've put about 1000 miles on this pack, and so far it has easily displaced my GoLite Jam as my go-to pack. And I really love my Jam. I had the new Miniposa mailed to me in the middle of a long ... |

Inov8 Flyroc 310 The Flyrocs are quite good. The deep-lugged soles make for excellent grip. I like that the heel isn't significantly raised, so you the shoes feel nice and close to the ground. The open mesh lets some ... |

Evernew Nonstick Titanium 0.9 L Pot This pot has great dimensions. Wide base, but not too shallow. Also wide enough to fit a trimmed spoon inside with my entire kitchen, and still close completely. I like the volume for meals on long-te... |

Gatorade Bottle I'll put a plug in the for the Gatorade Endurance bottles in particular. They are a little more narrow and taller than the standard squatty bottles, so they fit more easily in side pockets. 1L/34oz ca... |

Salomon Tech Amhibian This shoe is almost brilliant. I love the mesh, and the thin tongue is very comfortable. The footbed is probably the most supportive and comfortable I've ever used--no sore spots or aches. My bones an... |

U.S. Department of Defense MRE Spoon Meals-ready-to-eat come with great spoons, and some food, too. I'm not sure who the manufacturer is or where to find them commercially. The spoons have a generous length, long to reach the bottom o... |

Montane Featherlite A great, great windshirt, and I've been really surprised by its inclement weather performance. I've been on brief runs [20-40 minutes] in the rain with the Featherlite. While it eventually wets out an... |

Equinox Silnylon Poncho This is a review of the non-extended version, which I've really grown to like. Just a bit over 7oz, about 7.75 feet long, and a bargain at $40-50. I have had no problems with durability; snags on tree... |
