Coup's gear list Yes, I thought Coup completed an amazing feat of thru hiking the 498 miles without resupply. Here is link to his gear list: http://www.golite.com/team/athletes/coup/ct_gear.pdf The Gust is capabl... |

Looks simple enough Dan, That looks like it would work real well. It keeps the airflow from below without enclosing the canister. Do you use the wire as a rest on the pot, where they are looped into the windscreen ... |

Cheap Yep, the bag / Sleep system will be your most expensive part, but well worth it. You can find a down Kelty Light Year +15 (43 oz. ) for about $150-175. I have one and works well except for really ... |

Ryan on Travel Channel Saw Ryan on the Travel Channel yesterday. Was good pitch for UL backpacking. |

Infrared Thermometer Thanks for the idea. I found here http://store.gadgetssoldontv.com/te348.html It lists for $30 and weighs just over an ounce with battery. It seems to offer multiple uses which include validatin... |

Nice List I suspect you use the 2 section of Z-Lite for added support / padding in pack. Personally I use my GoLite Race pack for feet. I’m still working on getting my clothing and sleeping gear reduced, ... |

Windscreen design and canister temperature I recently purchased the Brunton Crux to replace my Snow Peak Giga Stove. I liked the Giga stove with its ‘pie plate’ windscreen and pot stability, but it still had issues with the simmer setti... |

REI Gimme Shelter I've recently seen this tarp/tent offered by REI http://www.rei.com/online/store/ProductDisplay?storeId=8000&catalogId=40000008000&productId=47850595&parent_category_rn=40003488& and was wonderin... |

Tent poles vs. Trekking poles vs. Nature I guess it would depend on which type of tarp shelter you use. With a flat 8x10 tarp, I would just as soon carry trekking poles. At least they would serve multi purposes. Otherwise I would use a... |

Sony DSC-W1 Compact SLR At 6.9 oz. (189g) this is a performing compact 5.1 megapixel SLR. I have taken some great pictures, but winter camps need to warm up in an inside jacket pocket first. http://www.sonystyle.com/is... |

Photon Light Proton Personal Flashlight I would give the Proton a 4 out of 5 score primarily because of its high cost ($69). It is an excellent light if you need to do any emergency signaling at night or if you need a high intensity beam fo... |

Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo I like the simplicity in the concept of the design. It is a combination of bivy sack and single wall tent with plenty of room that weighs in at 25 ounces. The bathtub floor and netting along the floor... |

ULA H2O Amigo I too am a firm believer in gravity filters. It is a blessing that you can still get filtered water with little effort while you complete some other chore around camp. I have used self made gravity fi... |

Beyond Backpacking by Ray Jardine I believe each post have their valid points. I believe the general consensus, mine included, is that Beyond Backpacking © is something that should be on every backpacker’s bookshelf. I have read and r... |

Go Lite Speed I rate this pack a 5. I also have its smaller brother the GoLite Race, which I gave my son. For 2 pounds, not including ... |

GoLite Breeze I have to say this is not the worst pack I ever had, but close to it. I do like the simplicity, but the straps are just killer. With 18 pounds I can carry on one shoulder and switch sides, but when ... |

Photon Freedom Micro (White) These are great little lights! I have the White, Red and Blue with 2 clips. I wear the White and Red on my lanyard and keep the Blue on a hat clip. The Blue was bought as a joke with the Scouts... H... |

REI Peak UL I bought these to replace my older / heavier poles. I prefer collapsible poles so I can adjust the height with my tarps and my SMD Lunar Solo. I did the research before buying and was concerned about... |

Snow Peak Gigapower Ti I had one of these for almost a year. I thought the four pot supports were a great idea and wish more manufacturers would do so. However I had a few issues and thanks to REI return policy I was able t... |

Brunton Crux I think this stove is the next generation of things to come. With a collapsible burner head, it folds over for 3.1 ounces of ultimate compact ability. The oversized burner head offers a better burn an... |
