Ouch?! What's with all the protestations? Unless you're all feeling guilty from spending someone's college fund, or because you don't use your 18 (!!) tents, gear away, brah. In my exp... |

Have fun! Should be a fun trip. J-Tree is a great place to park and just go rambling and scrambling amongst the boulders. I've only passed through once, and can't recall specifics. Death Valley ... |

Yellowstone: Shoshone, Lone Star, etc My wife and I did a great overnighter this past weekend, enjoying superlative early fall weather. We did some good hiking, about 30 miles, but also brought along some beer and italian sausage for ... |

Loop I hiked the loop solo 7 years ago. I drove up the Smith-Etter road, parked at Kinsey Ridge, hiked down Cooksie Creek to the coast, then down to Big Flat the first day. The second day, I hiked dow... |

do the loop! I'm not sure why no one seems to start in the mountains and do a loop hike of the Lost Coast, but I'd highly recommend it. Makes a good hike even better. |

revisions I've taken to calling this the all-pack. If it's not a day trip or superlight overnight, I use this. It's also good for hauling all manner of technical crap, though I've yet to ta... |

door 3 Years ago I found an XL women's R 1/2 (now Capilene 4) hoody on sale. I was able to cut seams and slim down the torso and it fits perfectly, with a great hood and thumb loops. I wear it, a S/... |

pants Simple Guide or Alpine Guide pants, depending on your preference. My Traverse Pullover is one of my favorite bits of outdoor clothing ever. Whenever I don't bring it, I wish I had. It... |

STARBUCKS VIA Italian Roast Tastes good enough, tiny and easy to use. What could be better? It not being so darn expen$ive. |

Patagonia Capilene 1 T-Shirt Cap 1 seems to have changed very little since it was called silkweight capilene back in the day. It dries very quickly, wicks pretty well (though not as well as cap 2), and most importantly feels lig... |

Therm-A-Rest Ridgerest I use a cut-down 48" Ridgerest on every trip. Bombproof, comfy, light, cheap. In winter, I add a full length under it. I actually sleep better on this than most inflatables, but realize I&... |

MLD Trailstar In summary: Aside from a bivy sack for good weather and race pace endeavors, I've sold off the rest of my shelters. It's a great cross of a pyramid and a tarp. Finished weight, seam sealed... |

Gossamer Gear ThinLight insulation pad 1/8" approx. 2 oz. It's hard to get more warmth for the weight (or price). I like having a few pieces to add in as supplementary feet and/or torso pieces. It is quite fragile. Do not leave this on the outside o... |

FireLite Trapper's Mug A very well designed cup. Light, but seems just as functionaly durable as Snowpeak or Evernew stuff. Ideal size for a soloist. The taller than it is wide shape is one I prefer for cooking on a fire... |

Patagonia Houdini Wind Jacket Note 1: This is a review of my 2005/6 Houdini. It's longevity is revealing (it may have been the Dragonfly back then, even). Note 2: If the price is outrageous, no one would buy it! The prote... |

Patagonia Ready Mix Softshell Pants I disagree with all Kev's objections, and desperately wish I could find more mediums to buy. The simplicity is what I love best. Actually, the perfect in all conditions from 70-10 F fabric is ... |

patagonia down sweater Note: I'm folding this review of the Down hooded pullover into this section because 1) the hooded p/o isn't made anymore, 2) the critical comments likely apply broadly. I really liked the d... |
