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: New Momentum in gear list
Thanks Aaron, makes a lot of sense now. And a lot of food for thought. But, I've got to say it, you really look like a male elephant seal, snout and all. Or should I say, you look like you&#...

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...

Re: Paramo
Miguel - would you believe that Paramo is not available in London at all? There are no stockists! That's weird. Doesn't Paramo have quite a vocal and passionate following in Britain? Or ...

Re: Paramo
I absolutely love Paramo rainwear. It is by far the most breathable and versatile rainwear I've ever worn and deals with rain and moisture in a completely different way from other systems, and...

Re: Wire Brim

Arctic Pack Price
When I saw the price I had to give a big gulp. While I have been wanting one of these ever since I first saw them last June and had my name on Brian's list from the very start no matter how I t...
