crampons? Browsing down this thread, I am surprised not to see mention of crampons. Hard packed snow over ice is the New Englnad winter norm. Ideal crampon conditions. |

Gossamer Gear Ditto. When something is not in stock when you first look, just put your name on the -e-mail-when in stock list and they will let you know. They quickly and without questions replaced items that... |

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Pad Very comfortable and a pillow not needed. But, you are not supposed to blow this up by mouth because moisture will get into the fill. So, there is a blow-up bag arrangement that does work, but it is ... |

Merrell Mesa Ventilator II Cross-Training Shoes Ditto. I am about to head to the REI nearest me where they are on sale for $57 (Jan. 5) It will be my second pair having switched over from the Montrial Vitesse (see above). I had avoided this shoe ... |

Littlbug Wood Burning Stove Littlbug Junior First, to find the website note that Little Bug is spelled with no "e". The efficiency of this stove amazed me. I have tried homemade versions of woodburners with little success, so I was ... |
