My Locale NEOH
About Me I started backpacking in the Northeast in high school with 3 buddies where we had quick access to the AT (Hertlein campsite). Continued through college and dropped off during the family-building years. Got back into camping with my sons and Cub Scouts which just fueled the need for more backpacking. Getting out on weekend+ trips for the past few years and loving it all over again.

+1 Kush
I picked up one of these months ago with some Fleabay bux and I finally got to test it out on the trail. I found that folded twice (three layers) and once it settled, it was quite comfortable for ...

NeoAir
I see the Xlite and Xtherm getting some mention and I recently got to try my first-gen-NeoAir-warranty replacement Xlite -- very impressive upgrade IMHO. On the favorites list for sure. Always n...

Favorite piece of gear - Fall 2012 edition
Looks like its time for a time-honored thread of what is your 'favorite piece of gear?' I had that moment this past weekend when it reached into the twenties in the middle of PA and I reac...

New? Better Oats -- Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
Just found this variety that I haven't seen locally before at my local Target last night. Had some for breakfast and I think I found my new 'quick and cheap' oatmeal for the trail. I ...

BRM is my 'go to' breakfast
I know you mentioned the BRM soups which I haven't tried, but I can attest to using BRM for breakfast. I actually used Sarah's Super Charged Oatmeal recipe (http://www.trailcooking.com/rec...

Lots of good SAKs
Thanks. Trust me, I have studied the available SAKs extensively and that one was on my short list as well. I actually have the Swissbuck (Wenger) branded Remedy that I picked up in the '80s, b...

Can't wait to see that!
I love my LuxuryLite cot, but it is usually just used for Scout and car camping. At 3# (first gen) I can't justify taking it with on a weekend BP trip since it is heavier than each of my '...
