Re: 2008 A.T thru hike David, there's a slight chance I'll see you out there. I leave April 14 or 15, so you'll have to play catch-up :) Like you, I'll probably be using my Gatewood Cape. I'm not s... |

Re: Windshirts -- Breathability vs. Wind Blocking Here's my basic comparison: Breathability: GoLite Ether (04/05 old model nylon/acryclic) < Marmot Ion (Quantum) < Montane Featherlite (Microlight) Wind Resistance: Montane Feather... |

Re: Re: MLD updated Nice work, Ron. Very cool stuff. I've got my eye on the Zip pack, and I especially like the straightforward page that talks about the fabrics & other ingredients. -Mark |

Re: Jam2 pictures and details Cool. I like the added compression on the lower sides and at the bottom. Looks like there's some trimming potential there too. I bet you could get it down to 17-18 oz pretty easily. I'm not... |

Re: copper dummy I haven't seen the Backpacker Gear Guide, so I apologize if this is duplicate information. Anyway, the manufacturer website www.bozemanmountainworks.com has some mildly detailed specs on the qu... |

Re: carrying stuff in front Nice listen. I'm looking forward to more BPL recordings. If I could make one nitpicky minor suggestion, I would make some strong cuts on the introductory material. You have to listen to about 1... |

Monsterpod for cameras--sticks to anything I know this was brought up before about a year ago in the Photo sub-forum, but I think it's cool enough to mention again. The Monsterpod is a camera tripod that sticks to just about anything... |

Re: Apple iPhone - Internet in your pocket Yeah, it looks amazing. What really has me excited: -It's running OS X. Lots of potential for cool 3rd-party apps. -Even more importantly, this is just the first attempt! Remember the origina... |

GoLite Virga Used this one on the AT this summer. My particular model has 1 large pocket on the right-hand side. I accidentally purchased a Small @ 8.1oz, but it ended up working out just fine for size [5'11, ... |

Montrail Masai I like the Masai quite a bit. They don't wear as well as many other shoes. The toe rubber and seams started to flake out around the 300-mile mark, but surprisingly the fabric itself showed very li... |

Gossamer Gear Miniposa I've put about 1000 miles on this pack, and so far it has easily displaced my GoLite Jam as my go-to pack. And I really love my Jam. I had the new Miniposa mailed to me in the middle of a long ... |

Inov8 Flyroc 310 The Flyrocs are quite good. The deep-lugged soles make for excellent grip. I like that the heel isn't significantly raised, so you the shoes feel nice and close to the ground. The open mesh lets some ... |

Evernew Nonstick Titanium 0.9 L Pot This pot has great dimensions. Wide base, but not too shallow. Also wide enough to fit a trimmed spoon inside with my entire kitchen, and still close completely. I like the volume for meals on long-te... |

Gatorade Bottle I'll put a plug in the for the Gatorade Endurance bottles in particular. They are a little more narrow and taller than the standard squatty bottles, so they fit more easily in side pockets. 1L/34oz ca... |

Salomon Tech Amhibian This shoe is almost brilliant. I love the mesh, and the thin tongue is very comfortable. The footbed is probably the most supportive and comfortable I've ever used--no sore spots or aches. My bones an... |

U.S. Department of Defense MRE Spoon Meals-ready-to-eat come with great spoons, and some food, too. I'm not sure who the manufacturer is or where to find them commercially. The spoons have a generous length, long to reach the bottom o... |

Montane Featherlite A great, great windshirt, and I've been really surprised by its inclement weather performance. I've been on brief runs [20-40 minutes] in the rain with the Featherlite. While it eventually wets out an... |

Equinox Silnylon Poncho This is a review of the non-extended version, which I've really grown to like. Just a bit over 7oz, about 7.75 feet long, and a bargain at $40-50. I have had no problems with durability; snags on tree... |
