Re: www.hikeu.com Interesting idea--you don't see the guide thing very much on the east coast. A guided hike of the Long Trail is $2750... $10/mile. Good luck. Hope y'all get some satisfied customers. -Mark |

Re: Phantom Alex, I'm not exactly sure, but I'm fairly sure it's a long. There's no indication on the bag itself. I measured the internal length measurement at right about 78-80". I'm ... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: John Muir Trail Unsupported Attempt "Dang... why does it have to be red?" I know, Ben. Those long wavelengths really need to be trimmed. I hike exclusively in violet. As a general message to the industry, I would love... |

Re: John Muir Trail Unsupported Packlist Oh, cool. I didn't even know Nathan Sports existed. The 759 looks pretty nice. I like the compression design. -Mark |

Re: Hip Belt Pockets for Miniposa/Mariposa Thanks, Nathan! That's pretty much the only thing my Miniposa needs. What a good find. -Mark |

Re: Re: Lightning Access Review Someone help me out, please. I only see 2 side pockets? Where are the other 5? I read the article and stared at the photos for a while, but I still don't get it. Interesting design, though. ... |

Re: Re: 1st CDT YO-YO Attempt Sign up for his e-mail newsletters. They're always long-winded and usually fairly entertaining. He's had some hijinks and some scary moments out there. I think it's cool that he's c... |

Re: Looking for Henry Shires Yes, he's probably at Trail Days in Virginia. It ends on the 20th of May, so hopefully he'll be back to his regular prompt contact after the weekend. -Mark |

GoLite Virga Used this one on the AT this summer. My particular model has 1 large pocket on the right-hand side. I accidentally purchased a Small @ 8.1oz, but it ended up working out just fine for size [5'11, ... |

Montrail Masai I like the Masai quite a bit. They don't wear as well as many other shoes. The toe rubber and seams started to flake out around the 300-mile mark, but surprisingly the fabric itself showed very li... |

Gossamer Gear Miniposa I've put about 1000 miles on this pack, and so far it has easily displaced my GoLite Jam as my go-to pack. And I really love my Jam. I had the new Miniposa mailed to me in the middle of a long ... |

Inov8 Flyroc 310 The Flyrocs are quite good. The deep-lugged soles make for excellent grip. I like that the heel isn't significantly raised, so you the shoes feel nice and close to the ground. The open mesh lets some ... |

Evernew Nonstick Titanium 0.9 L Pot This pot has great dimensions. Wide base, but not too shallow. Also wide enough to fit a trimmed spoon inside with my entire kitchen, and still close completely. I like the volume for meals on long-te... |

Gatorade Bottle I'll put a plug in the for the Gatorade Endurance bottles in particular. They are a little more narrow and taller than the standard squatty bottles, so they fit more easily in side pockets. 1L/34oz ca... |

Salomon Tech Amhibian This shoe is almost brilliant. I love the mesh, and the thin tongue is very comfortable. The footbed is probably the most supportive and comfortable I've ever used--no sore spots or aches. My bones an... |

U.S. Department of Defense MRE Spoon Meals-ready-to-eat come with great spoons, and some food, too. I'm not sure who the manufacturer is or where to find them commercially. The spoons have a generous length, long to reach the bottom o... |

Montane Featherlite A great, great windshirt, and I've been really surprised by its inclement weather performance. I've been on brief runs [20-40 minutes] in the rain with the Featherlite. While it eventually wets out an... |

Equinox Silnylon Poncho This is a review of the non-extended version, which I've really grown to like. Just a bit over 7oz, about 7.75 feet long, and a bargain at $40-50. I have had no problems with durability; snags on tree... |
