Re: insights sought on how to pack tarptents please I have 2 Tarptents (Double Rainbow and Squall), and I just stuff them. I don't use the supplied stuff sack, but rather an OR sil-nylon sack that is shorter but larger in girth than the supplie... |

Re: Need Weird Advice. Urgent! I have something similar (or maybe even the same) to what you described. If you get bored and want to read about it I posted on in detail here: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackingl... |

Re: pad and bivy question I have a similar setup that I just started using. Haven't had it out with my POE Ether pad yet though (I have been using my Z-Lite/Prolite combo since it's been cold), but I think my pad m... |

Hilleberg Akto I have used this tent many nights over the last few years. It has been my main inclement weather/winter tent, so it typically sees the worst weather I go out in. Well, let’s get right into this. ... |

Tarptent Squall I have been using this tent off and on for a few years now, and it has served me well. I use it as a solo tent. I have the original version in sil-nylon (the pre-Squall II version). I use trekking ... |

Western Mountaineering Caribou Since I bought this bag in 2004 (I think), this has probably been one of my most used pieces of gear. Being someone that does sound engineering on the side (as a hobby of sorts), I always feel that I... |
