Trt unsupported speed record Aaron--I live in Tahoe City, and if you aren't a total weirdo or anything, I would be more than happy to help you out if I'm able to. I will be gone for about a month starting mid-June, bu... |

trt unsupported speed record Does anyone know what the unsupported speed record is? I found a cool website with lots of different trail records: http://home.comcast.net/~pbakwin/FKT.html Also, can anybody hike with you on... |

Unsupported definition Yeah, I was afraid it would be seen as supported. Deep down I also thought that, just didn't want to accept it. That makes for a long dry stretch, or a 2000' drop to a water source then b... |

Backpacking Light Ti Esbit stove As many previous reviewers have noted, this light stove works well and supports my ti pot well. I only use this in lower elevations and warmer weather, but that is due to esbit not the stove. I ... |

Therm-A-Rest Ridgerest I buy a size regular and cut it into two 30" long sections and I believe they weigh 5oz. One pad will last me for about 1200 miles before I replace it--though the replaced pad still has life lef... |

BPL Blow-Up Pillow I had high hopes for this pillow--the single baffle version. I have found that I have to inflate it very little to avoid my head rolling all over the place. So, in order for this pillow to keep my h... |
