About Me I've been a backpacker for 40 years. I taught hiking and cooking merit badges at Boy Scout Camp when I was 14. Ran class 5 rapids on the New River in a open canoe back when it was a wilderness experience. Lately I'm a cube dwelling software architect during the week and a mostly solo backpacker on the weekends. Look for me in the Monongahela National Forest.

Yes, the Caribou's hood had a draw string. I've had it down in the 20's(F) several nights and been warm with long johns inside my Contrail. If it's colder I use my WM Alpinelite.

It’s a pound and a half of shelter design genius. • It provides room for my 6’1” to sit up and move around, plenty of room for my 6’6” Bag • The vestibule is big enough for bad weather cooking • ...
