Wiki I think this would be great on a wiki. That way, everyone could edit it (rather than saying "please add this..."). It doesn't have to be a wiki, exactly (or course) but something that... |

Excellent Info I think this would make a great web page (maybe a wiki page). I would like to see a list like this include other information, such as: 1) More Detailed Regional Info -- I think it is interesting... |

Thanks! Excellent information from both of you. I appreciate it very much. |

Sugar Sugar, like all carbs, is less efficient per weight (carbs = 4 cal/gram, protein 4 cal/gram, and fats 9 cal/gram). But if the moisture and fiber content is low (as I assume it is) then it is a rath... |

Bug Booties? I like to wear mesh sandals (1 ounce a piece) around camp. The only problem is that they offer no protection against bugs. Does anyone know of any booties (or over-socks) that would be breathable, ... |

Maybe I'm not sure. I found the tent a bit fussy, but I think that is just typical for tarp tents. It probably just takes me a while (I am comfortable with my other tarp tent, but I have had it for y... |

Refuge X setup and questions Good questions. I had a similar experience and then decided it was best to have a bit of an angle with the poles (with them pointing in). One of the key things is that there has to be sufficient le... |

Good Point I use a GG pad as well, and I figure adequate insulation is one of the big issues. I use a tarptent, so I wonder if condensation might be a problem, even on a clear night. It will be warm in the da... |

Sounds Good Thanks for the input. I will probably go with someone who carries regular equipment. I was trying to avoid the "you idiot, you can't camp in slushy snow with a tarptent/down bag, etc."... |

Gossamer Gear Another GG review, another five out of five. This time, I broke a pole section (the lower part, or tip). It was my fault (I stepped on it) and not the fault of the pole. A call to customer support (I&... |

Ultrapod Mini I am very happy with my Ultrapod Mini. It does what is supposed to do very well. You often have to be resourceful with it; but with a little imagination, you can take great pictures. For example, if y... |

Pentax Optio WP I very much like my Optio WPi (6 mp). I have found the waterproof feature to be of much greater value than I originally expected. For winter pictures, it is really handy to set up a picture and not wo... |

Eureka Zues II Exo I bought this tent a few years ago, before I knew about tarp tents. I have been happy with it, but it is a little smaller and heavier than a tarp tent. As a free standing tent, it is more round, which... |
