Re: Re: The color of appetite Well I seemed to have caused myself some analysis paralysis with this question, as it has taken me over a month to pick a color for a cozy from Sarbar, but I think I'm going orange flame for th... |

Re: Quilts I have a Jacks'R'Better quilt, and have not rigged any straps to go under me or my pad, but haven't had any problems. I don't toss and turn much in my sleep (I normally wake up i... |

Re: Bivy Bug Protection I've tried sleeping in the same spring headnet, and haven't been as successfully. Instead I use a bivy with a sewn in headnet, suspended by my trekking poles, and have found this to be a g... |

Jacks R Better No Sniveller quilt I have used this quilt 15 nights this summer, all in the northern Sierra in the greater Lake Tahoe area. Temperatures were between the low 30's and the high 40's. The quilt was used in con... |

Six Moon Designs Comet I have used this pack a total of 17 days this summer, including 15 on a thru-hike of the Tahoe Rim Trail. The pack volume and design suit my needs perfectly for carrying up to 5 days worth of food,... |

Titanium Goat Basic Bivy This review is for the large bivy with the old-style bug headnet (a mesh headnet bag sewn across the chest, pulled over the head, under the bivy). This is the best value hands down in water resista... |
