Western Mountaineering...5'6" or 6'6" I am a little under 5'3" and have the short 5'6" ultralite. It's just right for me, so I don't think someone 2 inches taller than the maximum height would be comfortable ... |

Featherlite MItts durability I used mine last winter a lot and love them to pieces. They have held up fine gripping trekking poles during snowshoe trips and ski poles during the cross country ski trips (those were just day tr... |

My 15lb Gear List Roman - I see you are carrying over 10 oz. in sacks, presumably for holding gear in your pack that already has a liner. Do you need them to be so heavy duty? If you just need something to keep th... |

Lightening up the little things I skip the toothpaste altogether and just use a teeny brush. If you really want something on the brush, try bringing a teaspoon of baking soda in a little plastic bag to dip into. Like Linsey... |

Goose loft Maybe those webbed feet are good ground insulation? Windproof outer feathers? I know of a PCT thru-hiker who used a WM Ultralite and was very cold on the last stretch of her trip. So she's... |

Tent Stake Angle David Olsen's question about testing the stakes at different angles and referencing Chouinard's "Climbing Ice" got me to thinking. When we were learning to use ice screws we ... |

Tent Stake Fashion There are a number of scary things about those flamingo tent stakes: Someone thought of making them Someone else is willing to sell them Someone will probably buy them, and worse - Someone mig... |

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... |

Backpacking Light Merino UL Pants These do everything BPL promised - provide comfortable warmth without being bulky. I've worn them under non-winter hiking pants all winter, and they've extended the comfort range down to 7 de... |

Hikelight.com Company I just discovered this website that is based in Oregon. It seems to be a distributor of some of our favorite brands - SixMoonDesigns, Tarptent, Montbell, GraniteGear, and Western Mountaineering. No ... |

HarmonyHouseFoods.com vegetables and beans I just received my second order of dehydrated food from Harmony House. First I bought the vegetable pantry stuffer - 16 different quart-sized containers of various dehydrated vegetables, and then a we... |

Golite Paradox pants I'm not sure whether to review these in raingear or softshell clothing, because they're both. They are all-day pants, rather than rain pants to pull on over hiking pants and are made of a fab... |
