Re: Re: LuxuryLite or ULA Catalyst No personal experiences, but this thread on whiteblaze.net has some good commentary. -Mark |

Re: Infinity I also like the Infinity. It's a very comfortable carry. It's my pack for those times I'll have a heavier load for casual trips. The rear pockets took me a while to get used to, with the two narrow... |

Re: UL long distance list Overall, it looks like the list makes a lot of sense. I'd make some changes based on personal preference, though. -I can't do the bag liner thing. Drives me crazy. I'd reinvest those ounces in a s... |

Re: Hyper-Light Gear List, The Final Frontier Small world, Bill. I was born and grew up in Dahlonega, left there in fall '97. It will be interesting to see how little you have to give up--that's a great way to think through the challenge. I... |

Another UL wallet I met a guy in the library the other day who was using a wallet from www.all-ett.com. I let him admire my Simblissity model, while I looked over his. The All-Ett makes spinnaker wallets in a coupl... |

Re: Newbie Questions [fastpack] I agree with the others that an AR-style pack will probably best suit you. Some packs in this range that could work well... GoLite Team, Speed, Race, Multi-Sport, maybe even the Jam or Vision; ULA ... |

Re: Plantar fasciitis Another nice way to get some massage/relief is to roll your foot on something round. A tennis ball, can of something, a free weight, the legs on your office chair... Combined with regular, gentle s... |

Re: Re: It's very simple, really [Neil Bender--It's always nice to hear from another Austrian outside of Mises.org!] Definitely agree with the earlier mention child-rearing paranoia these days. Also add in the demise of summer ... |

GoLite Virga Used this one on the AT this summer. My particular model has 1 large pocket on the right-hand side. I accidentally purchased a Small @ 8.1oz, but it ended up working out just fine for size [5'11, ... |

Montrail Masai I like the Masai quite a bit. They don't wear as well as many other shoes. The toe rubber and seams started to flake out around the 300-mile mark, but surprisingly the fabric itself showed very li... |

Gossamer Gear Miniposa I've put about 1000 miles on this pack, and so far it has easily displaced my GoLite Jam as my go-to pack. And I really love my Jam. I had the new Miniposa mailed to me in the middle of a long ... |

Inov8 Flyroc 310 The Flyrocs are quite good. The deep-lugged soles make for excellent grip. I like that the heel isn't significantly raised, so you the shoes feel nice and close to the ground. The open mesh lets some ... |

Evernew Nonstick Titanium 0.9 L Pot This pot has great dimensions. Wide base, but not too shallow. Also wide enough to fit a trimmed spoon inside with my entire kitchen, and still close completely. I like the volume for meals on long-te... |

Gatorade Bottle I'll put a plug in the for the Gatorade Endurance bottles in particular. They are a little more narrow and taller than the standard squatty bottles, so they fit more easily in side pockets. 1L/34oz ca... |

Salomon Tech Amhibian This shoe is almost brilliant. I love the mesh, and the thin tongue is very comfortable. The footbed is probably the most supportive and comfortable I've ever used--no sore spots or aches. My bones an... |

U.S. Department of Defense MRE Spoon Meals-ready-to-eat come with great spoons, and some food, too. I'm not sure who the manufacturer is or where to find them commercially. The spoons have a generous length, long to reach the bottom o... |

Montane Featherlite A great, great windshirt, and I've been really surprised by its inclement weather performance. I've been on brief runs [20-40 minutes] in the rain with the Featherlite. While it eventually wets out an... |

Equinox Silnylon Poncho This is a review of the non-extended version, which I've really grown to like. Just a bit over 7oz, about 7.75 feet long, and a bargain at $40-50. I have had no problems with durability; snags on tree... |
