Re: Re: Re: Boots Advice I think full-on leather boots are a dying breed, at least for backpacking. A friend of mine who worked for Raichle commented that it was harder and harder to get a big piece of leather without d... |

oh, and what I use... I forgot to mention what I use. I have a sony DSC-U-something that I bought for $30 bucks from a big box store. They didn't have the box or the manual (which you can find on the internet anyway... |

Re: Boots Advice Inov8, Montrail, Salomon, Lowa, Garmont, New Balance, NIke, and Hi-Tech all make excellent trail shoes. More important than any other factor is how well they fit you. And I don't have your feet t... |

polarizing filters... A big pet peeve of mine is that compact digital cameras which have a way to accept filters are extremely rare. Especially since a polarizing filter is a pretty outrageously effective tool for prod... |

Re: No Cook LDH Ideas I'm a bit confused. Are you assuming that you are carrying water for 5-10 days, and don't want to carry more to rehydrate food? Or do you want a few meals that you can consume at a waterless camp... |

Re: Plugging in the Formula Correctly I think a lot of the good arguments for "skin out weight" are about ambiguity. I remember at an ADZPCTKO a few years back there were people showing off their ultralight base weight. More than one... |

Re: groceries for ten days in the Pasayten Well, it turned out to be only eight days... THe weather was great, and what snow there is is melting very quickly. Unfortunately, the bridge over the Pasayten River was removed last year and... |

MJ'S FARM BULK... Hi, I like their food and have bought quite a bit in bulk. Keep in mind that it adds up to a lot of food, so unless you really like something and aren't likely to get sick of it and are out a... |

Re: Re: groceries for ten days in the Pasayten Clarified butter? Nope. I just take a chunk and it gets used up long before it can go bad. The temperatures aren't going to be *that* warm. This was taken last year maybe a few miles south ... |

Western Mountaineering Summer Coupler I think the big killer for me and my so was that it was made of cotton. It needs to be made of some very light synthetic instead. Once again, a great idea with poor execution. |

Patagonia R1 Balaclava One other thing that I think is good is that the stretchy fabric is relatively thin -- this means that if you are exercising you can still wear the hat in quite cold weather, and if it is wicked cold ... |

Superfeet Performance Green Thirty bucks is a lot of money for an insole. But it is way cheaper than knee surgery. I've been using them religiously for four years in everything but rock climbing shoes and backcountry ski boots... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover Lightweight, simple, doubles as a pillow. This pullover is a wonderful evolution of the original puffball pullover. |

GoLite Phantom Jacket Awesome light jacket. Enormous pit zips help ventilation a lot. High pockets let you stash gloves and trail mix where you can get them without taking your pack off. A little heavier than some more ... |

Patagonia Dragonfly pullover I don't go anywhere without this pullover. For everything from groomed cross-country ski tours to weeklong climbing trips to long-distance backpacks. This is probably the most useful item of clothin... |

Patagonia Specter Jacket Wonderfully light. Waterproof. Reasonably breathable. More expensive than my first car (and more waterproof too). The big pockets help venting a bit, but it doesn't (in my opinion) vent particul... |

ULA Equipment P-1 I've used my P-1 since March, with several trips up to two weeks (with resupply) and trips as long as seven days without a resupply. I like the side pockets a lot. I'd like them better (and give t... |
