MYOG Titanium/Carbon Fiber Ice Axe amazing job on the axe project! Just curious, how light could an unofficial B rated axe be, using the same Ti parts, but beefing up the handle from either aluminum, Ti, or beefier Carbon Fiber? a... |

Scout Gear List Great List! I guide backpacking trips for teens as well and know the difficult of having them go light. a few duplicate items seemed to appear though - cup AND bowl, and swimming shorts AND 2 pai... |

Bug Booties? I've made my own bug booties out of uncoated nylon since Adirondacks mosquitoes bite right through my trail runners and liner socks, at least at night in camp. they work fine and are easy to m... |

Hypothermia Great timing as well, as it is starting to be prime time backpacking season. Here in the San Juans in Colorado, July is the most common month for hypothermia - more people are out there, it is blu... |

Mark Twight/The Mountaineers Extreme Alpinism this is an incredible read. Get it for the epic stories alone. I often say "it could be worse" to encourage my spirits in hard conditions, and the stories really illustrate how true that i... |

Dasani Dasani 1 Liter bottle it is really light, lighter than a 1 L gatorade, but is weaker and has a small opening, making it messier to put in drink mix. Mine worked fine, but they have a shorter life than gatorade bottles. T... |

Cilogear 60L worksack, version 1 The Cilogear 60L pack (mine is version 1) is the one pack that can handle everything, and excel at everything. It is light enough for backpacking but durable enough to abuse with bushwhacking, alpine... |
