Usage.... Now that I have my base weight down to 7 - 8 lbs, I've factored in the "usage" parameter more than anything. How often can I actually get out and use the stuff, and is it then worth ... |

Jobs... I've decided to become a dentist with the hopes that once I get my practice going, I can work 4 days a week, take vacation when I want, etc. My dentist has now cut back to 3 days a week, and h... |

Vibram Five Fingers... Damien, Glad to hear you love them! I am just waiting to Vibram to get my size and color in stock and then I will be ordering a pair myself. By the way - which style do you prefer for hiking? ... |

... I envy all of your hiking locales! Often I fill up 5 liters of water AFTER I just tanked up! It's not worth it for me to suppose that a spring or stream that was flowing last time I was there... |

Thoughts... James, I have wondered the same thing. Someone with more life experience correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like if you want a wife, kids, stable job, etc, you can't have the hike-at-y... |

Is going barefoot healthier? I've been reading websites such as barefooters.org and barefoothikers.org because I really have loved the times that I go out-and-about barefoot. I've also found that there is a small sc... |

Info... I was wondering how small this packed down to because I'm trying to cut down on bulk in my pack. I saw the specs on ProLite gear's site of 3 something inches by 3 something. I guess I was... |

Ads... I listened to some of the podcast and then skipped through a bit towards then end. Was then only advertising there at the beginning and at the end (for Big Agnes)? Or was there some in the middle? |

Details... No fishing, Honda Accord. My wife can comfortably do around 10-15 miles a day (pushing it takes the fun away for her). We had originaly planned on July 4th weekend, but due to the mosquito accoun... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Superlight My bivy comes in at 6.3 ounces after removing the bungee that can be tied to the top of your tarp (to keep the fabric off your face). I was holding out forever for a Side Zip Vapr bivy, but after w... |

GoLite Jam2 What I like: 1) The shape of the shoulder straps fit me well, I never have to use the sternum strap (I removed it). The padding on the shoulders is very plush as well. 2) The very wide fabric c... |

Golite Ultra 20 I should preface that I am no quilt connoisseur. The only other quilts I've tried were a Jacks R' Better and an MLD quilt. (Both great products, just not what I was looking for). My size ... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Jacket I love this jacket. My size large weighs in at 7.2 ounces. So far I haven't noticed any real down leakage. It is so light that when I toss it it "floats". It also packs nice and smal... |

REI Lite-Core Short I've gone back to using this pad after trying closed-cell foam pads only. Things I like: - It is fairly comfortable with 1.5" of foam. The comfort level for me rises dramatically bet... |
