My Locale Colorado Rockies About Me I'm 45 years old, 6'4" and 195 lbs. I've backpacked in the Colorado Rockies, the Wasatch and Uinta mountains, and in Zions National Park. I mountain bike in the Colorado Rockies. I've kayaked in Yellowstone and on Flaming Gorge, and rafted the Green, Colorado and Snake rivers. My trips are usually a week long or less. I love to hike wherever I can. I'm an Assistant Scout Master and I'm often out with the Scouts. My immediate goal is to thru-hike the Colorado trail. I've lived in Utah, Ohio, Illinois, Argentina, California, and Colorado. City Aurora State Colorado Country USA

	Re: Where can I get UL cord locks? I purchased mine at http://thru-hiker.com. Be aware that spectra line is quite slick and may not provide enough friction to keep the cord locks from slipping.

	Re: Wool weight If your trying to minimize itch and your not allergic to the fabric then the width of the fiber will have an impact. Ibex uses 17.5 micron in some of their garments, which is the finest I'm awa...	In GEAR » Wool weight June 16, 2:13pm
	Re: Re: Fibraplex poles Allison's post reminded me that silnylon shrinks when it dries. I wonder if something about the design of the Nallo 2 and shrinking silnylon caused the poles to fail? I don't own a Nallo 2 ...	In GEAR » Fibraplex poles w/ Nallo 2 June 16, 10:05am
