Re: is a bivy neccessary > dane, where do you get a 4-oz bivy and 4-oz tarp? On this website. There is a poncho tarp and bivy available on this site that both weigh in at 4.6 ounces. I've hiked quite a bit with a ta... |

(socks and gloves) Re: Advice on my Clothing List. I don't know if I am strange or not, but I have a hard time on a multi-day trip with just two pairs of socks. If conditions are relatively benign, you can reserve one pair as "sleeping socks" an... |

Re: Advice on my Clothing List. You don't need two capilene shirts. You don't need two t-shirts. I'd take one long-sleeved capilene shirt and one t-shirt. The rain pants aren't going to help you that much. In fact, the co... |

Re: Ultralight in Ultra-Foul Conditions? These pictures say it all, for me. |

Re: Re: Re: What is the deal with soft shells? > Question for you- can you foresee an instance when you would head out into the backcountry for a multi-day trip carrying just a softshell for weather protection? For you, is this decision entirel... |

Re: Food, try it, you'll like it. You can special-order them in ten or twenty-five pound bags, I think. Some stores sometimes have instant bean mix in bulk. |

Recommended Reading (was: Ultra-light instruction at BSA National Jamboree?) The most highly recommended books are listed first: _Lighten Up!_ by Don Ladigan (available here at BPL). This is an awesome book. Highly Recommended. _Beartooth Mountain Press Lightweight ... |

Re: Guyline as emergency rope? I'm kind of glad this guy asked the question. I'll bet there are a few dozen lurkers who didn't ask who are hopefully rethinking things. Hopefully they manage to rethink things before heinous dea... |

Re: Guyline as emergency rope? It is hard to see how this is more than a psychological protection ploy. 560 pound test might sound like a lot, but most knots you might tie in that rope might reduce the strength by fifty perce... |

Western Mountaineering Summer Coupler I think the big killer for me and my so was that it was made of cotton. It needs to be made of some very light synthetic instead. Once again, a great idea with poor execution. |

Patagonia R1 Balaclava One other thing that I think is good is that the stretchy fabric is relatively thin -- this means that if you are exercising you can still wear the hat in quite cold weather, and if it is wicked cold ... |

Superfeet Performance Green Thirty bucks is a lot of money for an insole. But it is way cheaper than knee surgery. I've been using them religiously for four years in everything but rock climbing shoes and backcountry ski boots... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover Lightweight, simple, doubles as a pillow. This pullover is a wonderful evolution of the original puffball pullover. |

GoLite Phantom Jacket Awesome light jacket. Enormous pit zips help ventilation a lot. High pockets let you stash gloves and trail mix where you can get them without taking your pack off. A little heavier than some more ... |

Patagonia Dragonfly pullover I don't go anywhere without this pullover. For everything from groomed cross-country ski tours to weeklong climbing trips to long-distance backpacks. This is probably the most useful item of clothin... |

Patagonia Specter Jacket Wonderfully light. Waterproof. Reasonably breathable. More expensive than my first car (and more waterproof too). The big pockets help venting a bit, but it doesn't (in my opinion) vent particul... |

ULA Equipment P-1 I've used my P-1 since March, with several trips up to two weeks (with resupply) and trips as long as seven days without a resupply. I like the side pockets a lot. I'd like them better (and give t... |
