Which stove do you use most? Really varies by the trip but here's my standard go-to stoves: SUL solo- either a MiniBull Designs alcohol stove or a BPL esbit stove (or nothing if I'm really pushing it) 2 person ba... |

Re: Re: Keeping legs dry with poncho Just like the comments above, I use nada in warm weather except for Montbell UL windpants and a Montane or Golite windshirt under the top. Sometimes I'll swap in a pair of chaps or Golite Reed... |

Re: Re: Re: that eVENT tent Fibraplex would certainly work in this application and would ligten things up a bit but won't be as stiff and strong as the orginal Easton poles. You can see a great comparison of Easton 707... |
