Two Fer Tater Tuesday What a fun idea! Luckily, I had all the ingredients for both of them, except for the basil pesto sauce. But I did have basil and I did have pesto sauce, so I improvised. Next time I go to the st... |

No mushrooms Oooh, Sarah, suppress that mean streak! Here's a helpful hint to anyone else who doesn't like mushrooms - substitute walnuts for them. Not a logical swap, I agree, but I think walnuts t... |

How can I prevent my shirt from riding up my back when hiking? Sew lace around the bottom of your shirt. Believe me, your shirt will stay tucked in, because you'll figure out what it takes to keep that lace from showing! That's what my grandmother su... |

Dehydrated sweet potatoes are better Too bad about the freeze-dried version. The HarmonyHouse dehydrated ones are really good, especially in Dicentra's 3 recipes: http://www.onepanwonders.com/dinnersvegetarian.htm#116903469 |

Fuel? Dale - what kind of fuel are you using? Is your denatured alcohol really old? I've heard the quality can vary from can to can and age. I use the yellow HEET fuel and get better results. To ... |

Kookabay comparisons Eugene - my experience with the down v. air pads needs some background information first. I backpack in the Pacific NorthWet, usually above 4,000', I'm trying to get by with a 20 degree qu... |

Kookabay pad - here it is I have 2 mummy 24 x 2.5 x 60 pads from Bender - one with (18.4 oz) and one without (12.6) down. I also bought the 2 oz Big Agnes bellows pump from Bender. It takes not quite 5 squishes for me to ... |

Your Best Gear of 2010 1. KookaBay sleeping pad - way better than the Neoair I tried last year. 2. Liberty Ridge wind shirt - kit from Thru-Hiker.com. I tried 3 store-bought ones before I made this one. 2.5 oz, and I ... |

Botach Tactical Customer Service I had a similar experience to David's. They sent the inferior space blankets, rather than the correct order, took forever to send a return UPS shipping label, and only yesterday admitted to recei... |

Boomer's Guide to Lightweight Backpacking by Carol Corbridge I was very disappointed in this book. Luckily, I didn't buy it but had checked it out from the library. For starters, the book is in major need of copy editing. There are lots of awkward sent... |

Backpacking Light Merino UL Pants These do everything BPL promised - provide comfortable warmth without being bulky. I've worn them under non-winter hiking pants all winter, and they've extended the comfort range down to 7 de... |

Hikelight.com Company I just discovered this website that is based in Oregon. It seems to be a distributor of some of our favorite brands - SixMoonDesigns, Tarptent, Montbell, GraniteGear, and Western Mountaineering. No ... |

HarmonyHouseFoods.com vegetables and beans I just received my second order of dehydrated food from Harmony House. First I bought the vegetable pantry stuffer - 16 different quart-sized containers of various dehydrated vegetables, and then a we... |

Golite Paradox pants I'm not sure whether to review these in raingear or softshell clothing, because they're both. They are all-day pants, rather than rain pants to pull on over hiking pants and are made of a fab... |
