My Locale Houston, we have a problem
About Me Been backpacking on and off for 30 years. Jumped into ultralight two years ago and am currently experimenting with SUL. I have a good 5 lb 20 degree kit and am working on a 3 lb kit. I make some of my own gear.

My gear and stuff is slowly going up at markhenley.webs.com

Long term goal is to hike the AT on early retirement in 2012. Every trip is an education between then and now on how to stay comfortable with a 6 to 7 lb baseweight on a long trip

My PDF Gear ListMarks 3 lb list - Good down to 40 degrees

Snow Peak 600
This cup is big enough to cook in for a solo person, a huge cup of java, or it's great for just boiling water. I use a piece of simple foil for a lid and it works amazingly well on a Snowpeak Giga...

I have made a few sewing projects, several quilts, and about a zillion stuff sacks, but this was the first time I attempted a piece of clothing. The pattern that AYCE provides is very well thought ...

White Box Alcohol Stove
This little stove ROCKS! I'm in agreement that it needs a primer pan, but other than that, I actually melted my windscreen when it got too close to the cup. It's like firing up a blowto...

This Filter weighs in at 2 oz and once installed it has a very small impact on flow rate from the hydration tube/bite valve. I'm using it in conjunction with a Platypus hydration setup and you get...
