Re: good hiking gps under $150 I've got an eTrex 20 that I like. I use it mostly for marking downed trees and other things for trail maintenance. I personally don't like touchscreens so I steered away from the Dakota ser... |

Another Borah Gear Stealth first impression I just got my pack today. I got mine in Dyneema X but opted for the Large torso. I had John make a few modifications to it that have apparently become a new model! I had a few inches added to th... |

Re: External Frame Packs? I've used an external frame rigged to carry a chainsaw, it works great for that. It carries the weight about as well as you could hope for (still feels heavy though...) but the biggest drawback... |

Re: Re: Re: Borah Gear Stealth? I'm hoping the pack shows up today or tomorrow. We got quite a bit of snow dumped on us last week which delayed post office deliveries. Supposed to get a bunch more starting tonight so hopefull... |

Re: Favorite Tarp Pitch? My 8x10 is a cat tarp so A-frame is about the only thing it does well. My 5x8 tarp is flat though and I like to pitch it as a half pyramid. It takes less poles and stakes than an A-frame pitch so i... |

Re: How to make my cookset better? Check out Opinel knives. They fit your price point and have a bunch of different sizes so there's probably one that will fit your needs. Plus the carbon blade should be able to make sparks with... |

Re: Trail runners I wear Salomon running shorts in warmer weather. They're great for hopping in a stream to cool off because they dry much faster than regular hiking shorts. I wear the same Capilene tops and Sma... |

Re: 2013 Mid Layer Hoody Roundup / Contingency Plan Another fleece option is the Eddie Bauer/First Ascent Hangfire. Mine weighs 15.8 oz in size large, so its on the heavier side but its quite a bit warmer and blocks the wind better than my Microgrid... |

Melanzana micro grid hoody Let me just echo everything the previous reviewer said. The fit is great, not tight and not baggy, the sleeves are just the right length, and the pocket is useful. As for the hood, I was a little s... |

BPL FireLite Mini Firestarter I keep this around my neck with some other "just in case" items. I too have a little bit of a hard time getting it to work consistently and use matches as my primary means of fire starting. ... |

Gossamer Gear ThinLight insulation pad 1/8" approx. 2 oz. I've been using my GG 1/8" Thinlight both to supplement my GG Nightlight Torso and as a sit pad. Its great with the torso pad to insulate your legs on colder nights. It provides some addi... |

Petzl e+LITE Like Craig, I don't use a light that much, mostly just for chores around camp that I can't preform with only moonlight. As such I was tired of lugging around my "heavy" 3 oz PT Auror... |

Gossamer Gear G6 Whisper One more person to note how fragile it seems. I've got a spinnaker tarp and groundsheet, so I was aware how fragile it seemed but I always feel a little wary when I sit this pack down. So far I ha... |

Gossamer Gear I placed my first order from Gossamer Gear, a Nightlight Torso and Lighten Up! DVD last Wednesday. I received my first order from GG last Saturday. Now that's fast! As for their products, they se... |

Gossamer Gear Nightlight Torso I just received my Nightlight torso and these are merely my initial observations. It is REALLY light, mine weighs 3.6 oz. I bought it to replace an older Thermarest pad that weighed about 26 oz and t... |

Lighten Up DVD with Glen Van Peski . For only $5 this DVD has a lot to offer. I began converting to UL backpacking awhile ago, but reading books and advice on the forums just isn't quite the same as seeing it in action. I'm a v... |

Princeton Tech Aurora I picked up the PT Aurora 4 or so years ago when I was starting to get into backpacking. I looked at a few different headlamps, but at the time this seemed like the best value. Since then it has b... |

Tealight stove Tealight After not getting great results with other alcohol stoves on my SP 700 I decided to try out the tealight stove. Nothing could be easier to 'make.' Just find an extra tealight laying around th... |
