	2-day Wonderland Trail gear list The last big project of the summer has turned out to be a two day hike of the Wonderland Trail. I've started working on a gear list based on what I presume will be the weather. Things could c...	In Gear Lists » 2-day Wonderland Trail gear list July 24, 5:23pm
	bummer Alfred, I'd love to hike with you, but will be out of state during the first half of August. Normally I enjoy solo backpacking, but I do hesitate to hike solo in Grizz country. The st...	In Hiking Partners / Group Trip Announcements » Glacier NP: partner / genera advice July 23, 10:00am
	Re: Gallatin Crest trail The race director fixed a rope and cut steps through the upper part of the snowfield leading out of the Hyalite cirque, a good safety precaution for those without an alpine background. Coming back...	In Post-Trip Reports » Gallatin Crest trail July 14, 10:19pm
	2 An E-wing in an A-frame pitch is a great head cover for two people in bivy sacks. I only bring my E-wing alone when the chance of rain is very slight indeed. It also makes a great Firstlight ve...	In GEAR » MSR E-Wing pitching options? Help! July 14, 10:10pm
	Two thumbs up Excellent video, and a great thing to present. I got pretty good at a bowdrill working a wilderness therapy program years ago, and it's a whole art form in itself. Getting the right wood fo...	In Editor's Roundtable » Up in Smoke: Backcountry Fire Building Videocast July 14, 10:06pm

	STARBUCKS VIA Italian Roast Tastes good enough, tiny and easy to use. What could be better? It not being so darn expen$ive.	In Foods - Energy Bars, Gels, and Drinks July 27, 2:17pm

	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...	In Clothing - Baselayer & Fleece - SYNTHETIC July 27, 2:12pm
	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&...	In Sleeping Pads - Foam April 11, 10:47am
