Re: Moving to Michigan, need advice on Winter Camping\Day Hiking kit
Hi Stephen, It sounds like you have everything you'll need to stay warm. I use a similar amount of total insulation as Ike does, minus the down sweater, and I was plenty warm down to 15 F (-...

Re: Re: Re: 3 day AT section hike GA

Re: What size snow shoes?
