My Locale Kanto Plain, Japan
About Me The top of the mountain is more an afterthought than a destination for me. Its the trees and creatures, the weather and people along the way that make the walking good. It's why it's always so hard to come back down. And why, with the odor of days imprinted in synthetics, my coming back down is hard for others, too!

Re: cool Japanese stoves
Just read the alucan site information. These are all homemade stoves made of stainless steel sheeting. Not sure if they are available to purchase, though. I think the author has connections with O....

Re: Central Asian Advice
On a trip like this there will be many times when camping is just not possible or simply inconvenient, and staying at a hotel or hut is necessary. At those times most of your backpacking gear will ...

Re: Ultralight Hammock Rope

Re: New Momentum in gear list
Hi Aaron, I've been trying to figure out how your half-bag works. When wearing it as a tunic do you wrap it around your torso to the back? How does it close at the back? Or is the back compl...
