Re: GG Mariposa I also have a jam and use it for bigger loads. When using it for smaller loads I stuff the sleeping bag into a large plastic bag instead of the tiny stuff sack, that way it takes up more volume in... |

Year round in a 2500ci? Tommy, I have a Jam, and it's one of my favorite packs. If you get it you'll be saving a few ounces over what you now have. You can buy the original Jam for about half the price of the J... |

Snow Peak Mini Solo Ti Cookset It's been about three years now since I picked up the mini solo, and it has served me well. I started out by using it with a Brunton Crux stove, which stows nicely inside along with a canister. ... |
