Re: Re: Re: how 'bout the ultralightweight Philmont shelter We saw non floored traditional tents last year @ Philmont, there were also a fair number of ants and other critters that could easily sneak into a non-floored shelter. I'll look at the Wild Oa... |

Have your feet grown? I've noticed over the last few years my foot has grown 2 sizes, while my waistline and weight have dropped slightly. Anyone else notice something similar after starting to hike more? |

MSR Pocket Rocket This is a pretty basic stove that is simple to operate. It's lightweight and reasonably efficient. We used 3 of these on a 10 day hike with 10 people and they worked well. The stove is reas... |

Light My Fire Spork I like the LMF Spork, but it's almost too flexible. I can agree with many if not most of the comments above, and have had one break. When you use it to stir something very hot, it gets soft and ... |

Marmot Helium (long) I had this bag for a short period, but really liked it. It's so warm, that it was almost too warm for me above freezing, but a very comfortable bag overall. It fits me (6'1") well a... |

Sling-Light Chair w/ body and kneck rest I purchased 2 of these initially for a 2 week hike. In the store, it seemed like a pretty good idea during a quick checkout. It's less than 2 lbs, so one of the lighter camp chairs available. It do... |
