Re: Re: Re: Ti Stakes in winter Yes they do when you hard pack the snow first. If a strong wind is expected then I pour just a little water on the stakes which will quickly create a small ice block for a larger / stronger anchor ... |

Re: Ti Stakes in winter I use Vargo Outdoor Titanium Ascent Tent Stakes. These angle iron with holes on walls work real well, and if I want additional security in snow, I can pour a little water onto the stake and it will... |

Re: Hoodless bag/head insulation technique Like Tom and Paul, I use my possum down beanie with a Seirus Combo Clava. If I feel the need for more protection, I have a Sherpa ear flap hat to go over all and it will tie under the chin to hold ... |

Popped Buckles >> I've "popped" more of the buckles, once retensioning the pad << It may seem that the buckles are an item that needs to be scrutinized. Not having seen them, I wonder if getting a different (m... |

Photon Light Proton Personal Flashlight I would give the Proton a 4 out of 5 score primarily because of its high cost ($69). It is an excellent light if you need to do any emergency signaling at night or if you need a high intensity beam fo... |

Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo I like the simplicity in the concept of the design. It is a combination of bivy sack and single wall tent with plenty of room that weighs in at 25 ounces. The bathtub floor and netting along the floor... |

ULA H2O Amigo I too am a firm believer in gravity filters. It is a blessing that you can still get filtered water with little effort while you complete some other chore around camp. I have used self made gravity fi... |

Beyond Backpacking by Ray Jardine I believe each post have their valid points. I believe the general consensus, mine included, is that Beyond Backpacking © is something that should be on every backpacker’s bookshelf. I have read and r... |

REI Peak UL I bought these to replace my older / heavier poles. I prefer collapsible poles so I can adjust the height with my tarps and my SMD Lunar Solo. I did the research before buying and was concerned about... |

Snow Peak Gigapower Ti I had one of these for almost a year. I thought the four pot supports were a great idea and wish more manufacturers would do so. However I had a few issues and thanks to REI return policy I was able t... |

Brunton Crux I think this stove is the next generation of things to come. With a collapsible burner head, it folds over for 3.1 ounces of ultimate compact ability. The oversized burner head offers a better burn an... |
