	Re: conflict of interest: Manufacturing V reviewing I would imagine Ryan and his crew are about the most honest out there. Heck, he even takes negative comments about his gear in stride and encourages feedback. Why worry yourself with these matte...

	Re: hmm... The down sleeping bag may be just fine. It needs to be packed sideways on the bottom. I say leave the extra fleece crew and use the down jacket for insulation. Anything that can get wet can be on t...	In GEAR » Not a question of ounces, but of space January 17, 7:16pm
	Re: Not a question of ounces, but of space In my opinion the last thing you need is a new pack. You have a volume issue (or possibly packing issue) that needs to be resolved.

	Re: Re: Re: International backpacking gear list Fleece is not synonymous with soft shell. Fleece is for insulation and a soft shell is sort of a wind resistant/water resistant/abrasion resistant shirt or jacket.	In Gear Lists » International backpacking gear list January 01, 4:26am

	Re: Ultralight pack suitable for international travel I wouldn't buy a pack that is right up to the carry-on limit (adding to 45), but instead would get one slightly smaller than carry-on dimensions, say 40-43.
