Re: Re: Leki anti-shock problem. Help? Leki has a good reputation for backing up their gear. If you can't figure it out easily, I don't think repair or replacement will be difficult at all if you contact them or your retailer. -Mark |

0.1oz Alcohol Stove A lighter twist on a good product. I wanted to make a lighter, narrower version of Jim Wood's SuperCat stove. My working prototype is the PremiCapp, made from an 8floz can of Medaglia D'Oro Premium... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Sleeping Bags??? I also think the Thermal Sheet is the better choice. Doesn't seem as coffin-like as the Edge. I would definitely choose wider, thinner and less drafty, v. narrower, thicker, more drafty. The zip ad... |

Re: Offical Wish List/ breakable CF poles Mark Verber: Titanium Goat recently redesigned their Goat Poles. An internal ferrule makes it possible to split into 2 pieces. At 6oz and $130, they're worth a look. My wishlist isn't too compli... |

GoLite Virga Used this one on the AT this summer. My particular model has 1 large pocket on the right-hand side. I accidentally purchased a Small @ 8.1oz, but it ended up working out just fine for size [5'11, ... |

Montrail Masai I like the Masai quite a bit. They don't wear as well as many other shoes. The toe rubber and seams started to flake out around the 300-mile mark, but surprisingly the fabric itself showed very li... |

Gossamer Gear Miniposa I've put about 1000 miles on this pack, and so far it has easily displaced my GoLite Jam as my go-to pack. And I really love my Jam. I had the new Miniposa mailed to me in the middle of a long ... |

Inov8 Flyroc 310 The Flyrocs are quite good. The deep-lugged soles make for excellent grip. I like that the heel isn't significantly raised, so you the shoes feel nice and close to the ground. The open mesh lets some ... |

Evernew Nonstick Titanium 0.9 L Pot This pot has great dimensions. Wide base, but not too shallow. Also wide enough to fit a trimmed spoon inside with my entire kitchen, and still close completely. I like the volume for meals on long-te... |

Gatorade Bottle I'll put a plug in the for the Gatorade Endurance bottles in particular. They are a little more narrow and taller than the standard squatty bottles, so they fit more easily in side pockets. 1L/34oz ca... |

Salomon Tech Amhibian This shoe is almost brilliant. I love the mesh, and the thin tongue is very comfortable. The footbed is probably the most supportive and comfortable I've ever used--no sore spots or aches. My bones an... |

U.S. Department of Defense MRE Spoon Meals-ready-to-eat come with great spoons, and some food, too. I'm not sure who the manufacturer is or where to find them commercially. The spoons have a generous length, long to reach the bottom o... |

Montane Featherlite A great, great windshirt, and I've been really surprised by its inclement weather performance. I've been on brief runs [20-40 minutes] in the rain with the Featherlite. While it eventually wets out an... |

Equinox Silnylon Poncho This is a review of the non-extended version, which I've really grown to like. Just a bit over 7oz, about 7.75 feet long, and a bargain at $40-50. I have had no problems with durability; snags on tree... |
