Re: Gear companies and where I'm going >>But let's also remember that I'm just 26 and that I graduated college 4 years ago as an absolute nobody. Ah, but the real expedition starts from within. And it leads - with forti... |

Superstitions water http://www.simblissity.net/get/water-chart.shtml The water source information isn't current, but offers a perspective on likely seasonal availability based on several years of observations (... |

Re: Rim to Rim to Rim Weekend 2008 >>obviously, the goal will be simple-- go fast and light. In that case, how about simply hiking it in a (long but incredibly rewarding) day? http://community.webshots.com/album/1165823... |

Re: Re: Cooking Quinoa..... Just to be clear, the issue for me wasn't indigestion, but lack of digestion. QIQO (quinoa in, quinoa out) And that's regardless of cooking method - I did experiment. In any case, great ide... |

quinoa I've carried this seed-grain on l-d hikes, but never seemed to properly digest it, judging by next morning's, uh, report. In any case, lightweight and low volume though it is, the energy re... |

Re: Winter hike in White Mountains >>I was thinking of going up Mt Jefferson via the Caps Ridge Trail (relatively short but technical) and then continue to the summit of Mt Washington, descend to the Lakes of the Clouds hut an... |

Salomon XA Comp vs Pro - differences I can't speak to the Pro 3D Ultra, but the prior Pro 3D model differs (from the Comp 3) primarily as follows: Carbon-fiber-reinforced heel cup/outsole (Pro 3D only) Molded plastic eyelets (... |

Re: Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra >>Can anyone see what is ultra about this as compared to the "old" ones? They're ten bucks more expensive. Actually, the eyelets appear to be webbing, like on the XA Comp,... |

sil-nylon packs & desert hiking >> IMHO, [silnylon packs] have NO place in the southern deserts of Arizona. If I took a silnylon pack to the Superstitions, it would fall apart faster than a Chinese motorcycle. I do own sil ... |

White Box Alcohol Stove The absence of a separate pot stand is an elegant little feat of stove engineering, and the design is marginally lighter than a pop can stove and stand (0.3 oz lighter than the Go-Torch by MoGoGear), ... |

Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap The fact that the cape is entirely removable, rendering a standard ball cap, is both a boon and bane. The cap alone, with its hip, curved brim and streamlined look, passes the urban street test, w... |

Montbell Super Stretch Down Hugger #3 My new 2007 model 800-fill bag failed bigtime in the warmth department. Even with ample layering, pad, and use inside a tent, I couldn't seem to shake off annoying cold spots and a palpable sense ... |

Light My Fire Spork Other reviewers have covered the LMF Spork's merits. And while I certainly agree, there's just no getting around the fact that mine broke into two pieces after just two days of use. Inevitably... |

Granite Gear Vapor Trail This one doesn't quite reach cruising altitude for me. To begin with, the Vapor Trail's extension collar is unfathomably tall, and doesn't lend much functionality to this pack, but serves primarily... |

Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo In regard to the above comment: >>"It is a pain to get this set up to look like the website, particularly on uneven or non-level ground. While looks may not be important, getting enough head room fo... |

Wigwam Gobi liner socks Once upon a time a very capable standalone sock for warm weather thru-hiking, these familiar polypro liners now seem to fall under the same heading as PowerGel and moist towelettes - single use only. ... |

GoLite Infinity Make no mistake. This pack has a lot going for it. As others have pointed out, its 3000 ci capacity is just about perfect for thru-hiking ultralighters. In terms of organizational ability it is fe... |

Salomon XA Comp 2 I've enjoyed the weight, stability, and fit of the Salomon trail runners for years. Unfortunately the XA Comp seems to have devolved in recent times from a comfortable and durable product to one with ... |
