My Locale one snowball away from big trouble
About Me Hiker, rower, bicyclist. I go light because I'd rather feel like a guy walking in the woods than a pack-mule hauling a load. Now the maker of the Backcountry Boiler, undeniably the baddest way to heat water on the planet.

Re: Yet another 3 season gear list
I also have a limited budget, so I try to imagine what I can drop, rather than how I can save 2 oz by spending $200. With that in mind: -What are the 4 stuff sacks for? - if one is for food, and...
