Re: Hat Options I also like my Buff over a wide range of temperature but during warmer weather I prefer a ball cap to keep the sun out of my eyes. I just got a Sunday Afternoons Sun Tripper hat and like it quite a... |

Re: Post hike rituals There's been a recent shift in my post-hike ritual. I used to like to find a diner and get hashbrowns (covered, if possible) and biscuits and gravy and cover it all with hot sauce and wash it d... |

Re: BPL Stealth Nano setup and pitching tips I attach my guylines to the tie outs with a bowline knot. But I make the loop pretty large and slip the tip of my trekking pole into the extra loop. The same could be done with a carabiner or S-hoo... |

Re: Swappin' Out My Shorts Have you tried using Sportslick or Body Glide? I also hike in running shorts and get chafing in humid weather but find that Sportslick works really well for me. I just put a little bit on in the mo... |

Re: Post hike rituals- gear maintenance ISTP here. Looks like I'm the opposite of the majority. My first priority when I get home is a shower. After that I will normally hang my shelter and quilt to air dry. My shoes often get relega... |

Re: Input on new headlamp? I tried an e-lite for a while but never really liked it. It was ok around camp but far from ideal it you wanted to night hike, or even just go off and relieve yourself. I ended up switching to a Ze... |

Re: Down vs Apex packed size? Thanks for the input everyone! Justin- Unfortunately my wife doesn't much like backpacking yet. She's been on some short dayhikes with me but prefers the creature comforts of car camping... |

Down vs Apex packed size? My MYOG quilt is in need of refurbishing/replacing. For starters, I made it 48" at the top which has proved to be too narrow for me as a side sleeper. The other problem is I seemingly underfil... |

Re: z-lite Since this thread was started I've made my dog a bed out of some scraps of 5oz Apex and 1.9oz nylon. I usually put that on top of my old Nightlight torso and he likes it a lot. He still prefers... |

Melanzana micro grid hoody Let me just echo everything the previous reviewer said. The fit is great, not tight and not baggy, the sleeves are just the right length, and the pocket is useful. As for the hood, I was a little s... |

BPL FireLite Mini Firestarter I keep this around my neck with some other "just in case" items. I too have a little bit of a hard time getting it to work consistently and use matches as my primary means of fire starting. ... |

Gossamer Gear ThinLight insulation pad 1/8" approx. 2 oz. I've been using my GG 1/8" Thinlight both to supplement my GG Nightlight Torso and as a sit pad. Its great with the torso pad to insulate your legs on colder nights. It provides some addi... |

Petzl e+LITE Like Craig, I don't use a light that much, mostly just for chores around camp that I can't preform with only moonlight. As such I was tired of lugging around my "heavy" 3 oz PT Auror... |

Gossamer Gear G6 Whisper One more person to note how fragile it seems. I've got a spinnaker tarp and groundsheet, so I was aware how fragile it seemed but I always feel a little wary when I sit this pack down. So far I ha... |

Gossamer Gear I placed my first order from Gossamer Gear, a Nightlight Torso and Lighten Up! DVD last Wednesday. I received my first order from GG last Saturday. Now that's fast! As for their products, they se... |

Gossamer Gear Nightlight Torso I just received my Nightlight torso and these are merely my initial observations. It is REALLY light, mine weighs 3.6 oz. I bought it to replace an older Thermarest pad that weighed about 26 oz and t... |

Lighten Up DVD with Glen Van Peski . For only $5 this DVD has a lot to offer. I began converting to UL backpacking awhile ago, but reading books and advice on the forums just isn't quite the same as seeing it in action. I'm a v... |

Princeton Tech Aurora I picked up the PT Aurora 4 or so years ago when I was starting to get into backpacking. I looked at a few different headlamps, but at the time this seemed like the best value. Since then it has b... |

Tealight stove Tealight After not getting great results with other alcohol stoves on my SP 700 I decided to try out the tealight stove. Nothing could be easier to 'make.' Just find an extra tealight laying around th... |
