New Lightweight Cooking Technique Al - what are these Philmont foil packages you talk about here and on your link that you eat out of? Are they obtainable empty to put your own food in, or are they the ones the Philmont "peop... |

backpacking with my wife Elena - have you received my 2 PM's I sent this week? I was trying to discuss our meeting without taking up space on this thread. So here I am doing that very thing! |

We should get in touch! Oh, cool! Elena - I am going to Brian Lewis's presentation on trekking at the Mountaineers this Wednesday evening. Can you come? |

Another role reversal There are some good comments here about not having to do everything you enjoy with your spouse. I'm the backpacker in our family, and Mr. B will go on the occasional 2,3, or 4-day trip, but he... |

Brian's broken leg I sent Brian a sympathy email, and Casey sent the following information: ...as has become a ULA tradition: ULA-Equipment will be closed from August 1st to December 1st, 2009 while we are out hiki... |

Lessons learned on first overnighter with 6 & 9-year-olds Aaron - I have a few suggestions based on our experience this weekend hiking to Lake Valhalla. Do what you can to protect your daughter from the mosquitoes. They were truly awful for us, both on ... |

Fruit Pies I have been known to eat the Fred Meyer brand lemon fruit pies. They're inedible in town, but they taste great on the trail. Now that I have the seal of approval from Sarah and Dicentra, I wi... |

BPL Thorofare Pants Transparency? Twice I forded a 30'-wide creek up to my hips on a 3-day trip this week, and the brown thorofares were not transparent at all. They dried within minutes. I really like these pants. |

Powdered gatorade Tohru - I buy large containers of powdered lemon-lime gatorade powder at Costco, if that's available to you. I also can find smaller cans of powdered gatorade in both lemon lime and orange fla... |

First Overnighter w/ 7 year old: Olympic Penninsula I hope Sarah sees this and posts a reply. She's done a lot of exploring on the peninsula, and I assume Ford was with her on occasion. I am going to take my 6- and 9-year-old grandsons on an... |

Botach Tactical Customer Service I had a similar experience to David's. They sent the inferior space blankets, rather than the correct order, took forever to send a return UPS shipping label, and only yesterday admitted to recei... |

Boomer's Guide to Lightweight Backpacking by Carol Corbridge I was very disappointed in this book. Luckily, I didn't buy it but had checked it out from the library. For starters, the book is in major need of copy editing. There are lots of awkward sent... |

Backpacking Light Merino UL Pants These do everything BPL promised - provide comfortable warmth without being bulky. I've worn them under non-winter hiking pants all winter, and they've extended the comfort range down to 7 de... |

Hikelight.com Company I just discovered this website that is based in Oregon. It seems to be a distributor of some of our favorite brands - SixMoonDesigns, Tarptent, Montbell, GraniteGear, and Western Mountaineering. No ... |

HarmonyHouseFoods.com vegetables and beans I just received my second order of dehydrated food from Harmony House. First I bought the vegetable pantry stuffer - 16 different quart-sized containers of various dehydrated vegetables, and then a we... |

Golite Paradox pants I'm not sure whether to review these in raingear or softshell clothing, because they're both. They are all-day pants, rather than rain pants to pull on over hiking pants and are made of a fab... |

Sealskinz gloves I had the same experience as Brett. My non-waterproof gloves absorbed less water than these. |

ULA Circuit This pack was on backorder, but it came sooner than Brian said it would. I gave it a 2-day test this last weekend on a short backpacking trip in the Cascades. I was pleased that it was as comfortabl... |
