My Locale Kanto Plain, Japan
About Me The top of the mountain is more an afterthought than a destination for me. Its the trees and creatures, the weather and people along the way that make the walking good. It's why it's always so hard to come back down. And why, with the odor of days imprinted in synthetics, my coming back down is hard for others, too!

Re: "Andrew Skurka's The Ultimate Hiker's Gear Guide: Book Review"
I really like the book. It is a good balance between catering to beginners and offering a coherent analysis of UL systems and how to use them for more experienced walkers. I think the book also cov...

Re: New Integral Designs Shelters
The sil-cordura that they use is heavier than regular silnylon, but incredibly strong. Definitely something that won't fail easily out there.
