Re: Why do you do it? For me, it's a lot of things. While this summer will be my first summer carrying lots of heavy gear, I've taken backcountry photography seriously for a while now. First, it was to captu... |

Re: New SLR user As I mentioned before, after exaustive study, I picked the Canon 450D with the kit 18-55 IS and the 50 1.8 prime to get me started. I am very impressed with the 450D, but I can already immediatl... |

Re: Where do you carry your camera? This is also a question I have after my recent SLR purchase. I have been thinking about a lowepro on a chest harness, but I'd like to here what others do. As for the trekking pole issue, I r... |

Grey/Green If I had my choice for a stealth color, it would be a dull green/grey: even if it doesn't match every surrounding exactly it really doesn't stand out anywhere in nature. I've found w... |

Re: SMD Traveler - In development That does look like a nice pack, I haven't been one of the panel loader fanatics on these forums (you know who you are), but this seems like a great set up. |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: SLR users, confess Well I bit the bullet, and ordered the new Canon 450D (Rebel XSI). I'll start off with the kit lens, an image stabilized 18-55mm, then pick up a nicer lens when I figure out what focal lengt... |

Nice report Very nice report and photos for Skyline to the Sea, I really like that trail, and would like to go back and do it again as an ultralight hiker. What was your gear list for the trip - I gleaned t... |

Re: Titanium Goat Ptarmigan Bivy I have an older Tigoat bivy, and it had a bag-style headnet that pulled from the zipper opening over the head of the bivy. Having the full mesh hood is great for ventilation, view, and claustrop... |

Re: trt comments. Dave hit the highlights of the trip, but I carried as much as 4.5 liters of water last August (very dry year for the Sierra). For those who asked about gear, it was my first truly UL trip. Pack... |

Re: Re: SLR users, confess My research continues on which SLR, which lenses, and which lottery I need to win to afford the aforementioned cameras and lenses, but to be clear - I'll be keeping my (admittedly big) point an... |

Jacks R Better No Sniveller quilt I have used this quilt 15 nights this summer, all in the northern Sierra in the greater Lake Tahoe area. Temperatures were between the low 30's and the high 40's. The quilt was used in con... |

Six Moon Designs Comet I have used this pack a total of 17 days this summer, including 15 on a thru-hike of the Tahoe Rim Trail. The pack volume and design suit my needs perfectly for carrying up to 5 days worth of food,... |

Titanium Goat Basic Bivy This review is for the large bivy with the old-style bug headnet (a mesh headnet bag sewn across the chest, pulled over the head, under the bivy). This is the best value hands down in water resista... |

Mountain Hardwear Phantom 32 F, 800 down The phantom 32 was my first light-weight item, and is still my favorite. Loft is great, the hood fits great, and there is enough room for me to add a down jacket or vest. The one downside is the .85 ... |

REI Minimalist Bivy Sack During the time I have used this bivy, I have experienced no condensation, even when the single wall tent I was in was dripping. I have not found a great solution to getting the bug-mesh away from my... |

02 Rainwear Rain Suit I've spent 3 solid days in this rain suit in a storm in Point Reyes, and one in the Sierra foothills. The suit was totally water and windproof, breathed very well (sweat only under pack straps and... |

Golite Den 2 Similar to tarptent designs, but no vestibule and made out of Golite's heavy-duty silnylon, so it weighs a little more (3.5 lbs). I have used it in Tahoe National Forest where it was used for me and a... |

Pacific Outdoor Equipment Max Compact I found this pad to be extremely comfortable (better than the bed I slept on through college), but it doesn't take much to get a chill through it. I bought a Gossamer Gear Thinlight pad for insulation... |
