Re: Re: WIND SHIRT HELP!!! Eric, excellent reply. Really appreciated reading it. Two points: 1) I use a Wild Things Epic treated nylon windshirt - works well, but as you say, not quite as breatheable as SOME windshirts.... |

Re: Blisters All sound advice. Fix the problem is the right way to go. However, until then, why wait until a blister forms? A piece of moleskin or duct tape (anything that will properly act as a fresh in... |

Re: Bibler Tripod in the Winter Which seams need to be sealed? I would guess that the ToddTex-2-ToddTex seams are taped. Are there ToddTex-2-Nylon/Poly seams that require sealing (top and bottom fabrics interface)? Or, zipper ... |

Gossamer Gear NightLight 3/4 Light. Warm enough; add a thinlight or torso-length inflatable when it gets cold. Comparing the NightLight's R-value to other pads, it appears that the Nightlight has the highest R-val for its... |

Lighten Up DVD with Glen Van Peski . This DVD was a gift to me from another Forum participant (many thanks GR). This DVD doesn't pretend to be a detailed step-by-step tutorial, but, rather, more of an introduction. In this capaci... |
