Potential Essense long pad ideas
It does work quite well. I've done the same thing with my blue pad (I put mine under the mattress in the guest bedroom) and it actually folds up better than the "scored" GG NightLight torso lengt...

Essense's pad access...
"I'm working on a removable frame sheet for the pack that would replace the use of your pad as structure" Not to mention allowing padless hammock campers the ability to use the pack.

Essense's pad access...

Isn't scale an issue?
While I can see this on-paper "conflict", we need to put it into perspective a bit. BMW has what, 4-5 products? A insulated top, pants, a bivy sack, some expenstive sticks, and a few (way too sma...

Include DIY kits...
Next time you do a round-up have your DIY boys build one of the kits over at www.thru-hiker.com and include them. I'd like to see them compared head-to-head with the commercial gear.

Snow melting: liquid propane!!!
In a word, liquid propane... The Xtreme, by design, uses canisters that have a tube in them that draws up the liquid propane. Propane boils off well below 0F (-44F comes to mind???). This allo...
