re: Trail days Hi Tom, thanks for the great report on goings on at Trail Days. That's cool you got to see some of the new Insultex insulation up close. Angelo and I are both evaluating IX underquilts right no... |

Re: Re: RE: stupid question {{Here's an idea -- just carry your poles in one hand. That's what I do on level sections, anyway.}}} That's what I do too. |

Re: Re: Re: Tie-out options Thanks for chiming in Ron. It's not surprising to hear that you are out there beating the bushes trying to come up with better solutions to this. Your efforts (and suggestions) are definitely a... |

Re: Tie-out options Linelocs are great, but the ones I got with my MLD tarp require >=2.5mm lines to work properly. When you are dealing with a ~5oz cuben tarp the line weight adds up quickly to become a big part o... |

re:Luxury Item Ipod mini speaker and evening libation for sure. Also FF down socks. Nothing better than toasty feet. Some would call my hammock a luxury item. I'm not sure there is much of a weight penalty an... |

Re: Superstition Wilderness, AZ Hi Tom, what a super writeup and thanks for capturing the moments of this memorable trip. It was definitely a pleasure to meet up with you and get to know you. You've got an open invitation to ... |

Re: BPL Firelight 550 + Alcohol Stove (Recommendations?) Caldera cone for sure. I love my FL550/Caldera cone combo. I eventually upgraded it to the Ti version for a more durable and long lasting solution. I also use the caddy kit to store it in, and also... |

STARBUCKS VIA Italian Roast Oh yeah, as soon as Via came out my Java Juice went bye bye and this makes it in my pack on every trip. I purchase in volume of 48 to get the price break. A nice strong and flavorful cup of coffee to ... |

Pacific Outdoor Equipment Ether Thermo 6 A great alternative to the BA insulated aircore pad if you are looking for 2.5" inflatable comfort. The higher denier rating in the POE design gives me more confidence in the durability, and shav... |

ULA Conduit It's all the features I need and then some. I used a sitlight pad for frame support on a weekend trip, and with a full pack weight of around 17 lb incl consumables, this pack carried very nicely f... |

Pro Lite Gear customer service All good experiences so far with Prolite. Last friday afternoon I placed another order to this company. Less than 1 hour later, I got an email notification that my item had shipped. Free shipping too.... |

Patagonia Houdini Wind Jacket I normally wear a size M men's in most garments. I came across a really good sale for the Patagonia Houdini in women's sizing. I decided to gamble and order size L in women's and found a c... |

RailRiders Adventure Shirt I've had mine out several times now in temps up in the 90's and was very pleased with the performance. The shirt really breathes well. I hike mostly in the desert and need full sun protection ... |

Gossamer Gear As other posters have described, their response and shipping to orders received is lightspeed. As good or better than anyone else in the industry. Concerning customer support, I recently had issues wi... |

Marmot Ion I'll have to mirror the recent comments about the Marmot Ion purchased from Campmor. I really like the fit and functionality of the jacket. It is an incredible amount of warmth in windy conditions... |

Gossamer Gear Lightrek Plus Poles I had just acquired a pair of these poles last week and set out over the weekend for an over-nighter to try them out. Unfortunately, about 40 minutes into the hike the tip broke off of one pole, just ... |

ULA Amp I have taken this pack out only once last weekend, so this review is preliminary and could change. The construction of the pack is flawless, and came in very close to Brian's (updated) weight spec... |
