Warm pads for cold sleepers Since I, too, am a cold sleeper, I will definitely wait for the reviews. I can make it work with the prolite 3 and a top pad down to the low 20's, so if the neoair isn't a lot warmer, I... |

Whew! Thanks, Dave. Since it's about the same as a prolite or maybe warmer, I may go with a medium, which is only 2" shorter than I am, and still carry the same 13 oz that the prolite 3 short i... |

Best UL Pad for a COLD Sleeper? Dave - you said the Neoair is NOT as warm as the Prolite? If so, that immediately kills any interest I have in it. I've been waiting for all the dust to settle and some user reports to come i... |

Lightweight case for glasses I just use a quart-sized plastic zip-type bag and make sure there's still air in the bag when I zip it shut. The glasses are protected by the air surrounding them. With enough pressure, the b... |

Revised winter gear list? "I will make a follow-up list (and then camp and test it with a prudent winter set-up in a more lightweight style." Mike - have you done this yet? |

Franco's Tip #17 I highly recommend practicing this line: That old thing? I've had it for ages. This works well on Mr. B. Do not define old or ages. Those words are relative, anyway. Compared to the l... |

Botach Tactical Customer Service I had a similar experience to David's. They sent the inferior space blankets, rather than the correct order, took forever to send a return UPS shipping label, and only yesterday admitted to recei... |

Boomer's Guide to Lightweight Backpacking by Carol Corbridge I was very disappointed in this book. Luckily, I didn't buy it but had checked it out from the library. For starters, the book is in major need of copy editing. There are lots of awkward sent... |
