Blasphemy...
Granted, 4.5 pounds is a 50% increase to packweight if you're only carrying 9, so in those terms, it's big. But I think everyone on this site (including myself) tends to lose a degree of...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Four Point Five Pounds.

Re: Re: Four Point Five Pounds.
I think the psychological aspect of the gear you carry is something that some people underestimate though, especially solo. I've been in the Sierra with a 7lb. base, only to find myself cram...

Four Point Five Pounds.
I've been thinking about gear a lot lately. I'm considering the Sierra High Route as a semi-fast solo in summer of '14, an endeavor which I'd likely start training for throughout...

X-Pac Questions....
Howdy, I'm considering replacing my soon to be worn out beloved GoLite Jam2 with my own MYOG version of it. A few questions: *Considering just doing the entire pack out of VX21 from Rock...

Re: Re: 'Judge, jury and executioner': Legal experts fear implications of White House drone memo

'Judge, jury and executioner': Legal experts fear implications of White House drone memo

Montbell Thermawrap jacket
