	Re: Re: tent technique in snow (Shasta) David's advice is good in general. Unfortunately, Helen Lake seldom has any big rocks available on the snow. You could walk 200 yards away, find a big rock, and carry it back. This is a natural...	In General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion » tent technique in snow (Shasta) June 21, 2:26pm
	Re: Lamarck Col in running shoes? Some gaiters would be handy for keeping excess snow off your feet. The main part of the snow is not the risky part. The risky part is near the hidden boulders where hidden voids are, especially ...	In General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion » Lamarck Col in running shoes? June 21, 2:13pm
	Re: Re: What kind of UL backpack can fit a Bearikade Expedition? There are not many stores around the SF Bay Area that stock UL backpacks. The market is thin, so the mainstream stores like REI don't have much. Your backpack weighs 4 lb 10 oz. Wow!I haven&...	In Gear Lists » JMT Hike by Boy Scout June 21, 1:55pm

	Re: Cheap snow stakes Most snow stakes have holes in them, and that makes it easier for snow packed around them to hold. I've never seen 18" stakes. Most of mine are 7" to 12" long. Anything 6" o...	In General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion » tent technique in snow (Shasta) June 21, 1:12pm
	Re: Re: Re: tent technique in snow (Shasta) Here is the technique. We call it the Sierra Technique, even though Shasta is in the Cascades. Often there is a natural berm of snow around the margin of your camp at Helen Lake. Use that to you...	In General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion » tent technique in snow (Shasta) June 21, 12:43pm
	Good Grief! I discovered that the recorded video file size is 330MB per minute. I guess I won't be emailing those around, will I? --B.G.--	In Photography » Trailside video photography June 21, 1:37am

	Re: Re: boil times.. Again, it varies from stove to stove. You need to test your own stove to see what you have. Some middle-of-the-road alcohol stoves seem to give good boil time performance for 16 ounces of water, bu...	In Philosophy & Technique » Boiling 8 oz. 2X vs. 16 oz. 1X June 20, 7:59pm
