Re: Re: People are ruining backpacking. Really it seems to be these long winded and semi pointless topics that are killing the forums. Everyone has different needs and requirements for their style of hiking and the environment they live... |

Re: Thanks for the Support Dan, this is a great article. Considering the awesome trip you just successfully completed who cares if people judge your gear. The reasoning behind your gear selection makes perfect sense! |

ULA Circuit I purchased this pack alittle over a year ago and simply put, this may be one of the best overall trekking packs for hikers with a well dialed kit. While it is alittle much for a weekend trip it is g... |

Six Moon Designs Europa First off I must say that for the vast majority of my trips I strongly prefer a tarp/bivy combo. But for those times when I need a full tent, the Europa has always worked pretty darn well for me. Wh... |

Backpacking Light STIX (2008) All in all a great trekking pole. It is durable,light and very stiff. I have taken several dives on them and they have held up very well. My only complaint is that the tip and grip area are not repl... |
