Re: Re: Re: RE: The 10 Essentials Yeah, Ditto across the ditch here. At least in NZ we rarely have to worry about water (quanitity OR qaulity). But off the main tourist tracks, you're pretty much on your own most of the year.... |

Re: Re: Sleeping Bag or Quilt - When Weight & Loft are the Same! Following this thread, I'm struck how quilt devotees (of which I am not one) keep forgetting that most mummy style bags can be used just like a quilt. In fact, if you wanted unlimited versatil... |

Packa s/m 2008 model I thought it better to keep the Packa reviews in one place, so this applies to the 2009 medium/large Packa. To be honest, I wanted a Roger Caffin style poncho, but could see it was going to take me m... |
