Philmont Redux Tom, Thanks for this article. It was 36 and 35 years ago for me, but it brought back many memories. I had two girls, so I feel cheated! |

Weminuche High Route This was a route of a lifetime, and is strongly recommended for those comfortable off trail. Steve Howe recommended this route to me when I met him unexpectedly in the Wind River Range a few years ... |

Review to date First, let me thank Osprey publicly for allowing the BPL community the opportunity to review this pack. I'll try to add to, rather than repeat what has been said to date. Water drainage:... |

"Tarps Above Timberline" I suspect Will Rietveld has more experience in a tarp in the Weminuche than most on this board. I'd send him an email. I've never had a problem staking above timberline in the Weminuche.... |

Mountain Laurel Designs 850 ml Cup Perfect because it does what the advertisement says it will do. It holds enough water to reconstitute your freeze dried food, and your hot drink. Boil the water for both, pour whatever is needed for t... |

Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews I feel like I have to choke down energy bars. They are just too dry for me. And, these things didn't seem appetizing to me because they had the consistency of gummy bears and the political cor... |

Amazon Kindle Some people fish, fly kites, chat with their hiking mates, or mull over their route and equipment when they aren’t hiking. Some hike from dawn to dusk and have no time for such weighty pass times. If... |

Garmin Oregon 550t This review is by a first time GPS user, so I can’t offer a comparison to other units. I’m also not familiar with the technical aspects of GPS units, so I can’t offer you performance data. What I ca... |

Ultimate Survival Technologies Sparkie Firestarter Plastic broke while trying to use it the first time. Apparently, the spring wasn't strong enough for the plunger to pop out when I squeezed the case. Super gluing it back would likely prevent m... |

Cocoon Vest Vest I ordered the medium because that is what I wear in a Patagonia Micro-Puff, but the neck was too big for me, too. I have replaced it with a small, and the fit is perfect. I prefer the zipper over t... |

Equinox Lite Tripper Organizer Pouch The irony of repackaging stuff into smaller containers is the accumulation of a whole lot of little containers. I have tried to keep track of them all a variety of ways, but always feared I'd mis... |
