cordura gaiters Anything cordura should work well. It will not be as breathable or comfortable, but it will definitely stand up to abrasion, barbs and such. REIs are okay and priced reasonably, plus they come in... |

CO trips with your pop I would look into Rocky Mtn Natl Park, as their are countless loops or out-n-backs that you could do. It's very close to Boulder via Estes Park. You could also drive through RMNP (very scenic... |

Dirtygirl gaiters I'll also jump in here with a recommendation for dirty girl gaiters. However, the velcro adhesive is prone to fail if it is wet fairly often. Mine and my wife's both came off on our last ... |

Trail runners in NZ I hiked roughly 1000 miles in NZ while there for around 5 months. Wearing trail runners, I think I hiked the majority of the multi-day trails and never did I wish I had boots. I never take my sho... |

ankle braces While I don't know what type of ankle brace Ashley uses, I have had 6 ankle sprains to my right ankle and now use the ASO ankle brace. My last two sprains came while backpacking, and believe m... |

Multi-use maps I"m getting my maps together for my upcoming hike across Iceland and there's alot. Total weight: 1.6 pounds of maps. I showed the stack to my girlfriend and she replied "wow, you c... |

leash training cats I don't know much about cats as mine was the girlfriends idea. I was content to tolerate the cat, but I've completely fallen for the little guy. He apparently doesn't do anything a ca... |

cat calls My cat doesn't only do that noise when he sees birds while out on his hikes. I've put some youtube videos of cats meowing just to see what my cat's reaction would be. He meows and the... |

I take my cat hiking I have a Japanese Bobtail that I've leash trained. He wears a harness and begs and pleads to go on a walk. Every time I take my dog out, my cat meows/yells at me to show he's mad he isn&#... |

cats on trail in 2002 there was an AT thru-hiker who brought his Maine Coon along. It would sit on his pack all day while he hiked, and people loved it at the shelters as it was a champion mouser. His cat was ... |

Backpacking Light Ti Esbit stove As many previous reviewers have noted, this light stove works well and supports my ti pot well. I only use this in lower elevations and warmer weather, but that is due to esbit not the stove. I ... |

Therm-A-Rest Ridgerest I buy a size regular and cut it into two 30" long sections and I believe they weigh 5oz. One pad will last me for about 1200 miles before I replace it--though the replaced pad still has life lef... |

Bibler Eldorado I have only used it around 14 or so nights since then (only use it in more rugged and windy environments when snow is a possibility). My wife and I used it for our 10-day Tibet trek and it perfor... |

BPL Blow-Up Pillow I had high hopes for this pillow--the single baffle version. I have found that I have to inflate it very little to avoid my head rolling all over the place. So, in order for this pillow to keep my h... |

Adidas Supernova Trail 5 After having foot problems, I went to a podiatrist and had custom orthotics made. The Dr. also recommended these shoes and to replace all shoes every 300-500 miles. Since using these, I have had z... |

Red Ledge Thunderlight pants I'm surprised that more people don't use and/or know about these. My pants weigh 6.5oz size medium and fit over my shoes. They have button snaps at the ankle to allow for 2 different sizes b... |

Brasslite Turbo II-D Purchased in 2004, used for around 6000 trail miles. Weighs 2.5oz, so there are lighter alternatives out there, but for the slimmer sleeve I feel it is worth it as it allows a broader trail diet. ... |

Western Mountaineering Pod 30 Purchased in 2005, used for entire CDT, 10-day Tibet trek, Iceland thruhike, 6 months hiking in NZ, plus about another 1000 or so miles. Weighs 17 oz after cutting off pad sleeve. Only downsid... |

Big Agnes Copper Spur UL 3 I recently purchased this for a thruhike of Iceland based on its' weight. It performed well, but let me explain... The foot-end of the tent is lower than the head-end, plus the vestibules are ... |

Dirty Girl Gaiters These would be a 5 if the supplied adhesive strip resisting peeling after very wet days. Superglue was the answer and has held the velcro down wonderfully. Very breathable (and I'm a sweater... |
