Re: No tarp? Ideally, one of the BMW bivies that were sold on this sight would be perfect for what you have in mind, being very light and having bug netting and the ability to stake them out. They would work f... |

Re: 11oz quilt?? Unfortunately, by I'd love to have that 11oz quilt for the balmy days of summer and save the sleepingbag for the fall... Oh well, still looks very cool. |

Re: Adventure Foods I've been happy with them. Mostly bulk purchases of dried vegetables and spices. Their powdered salsa is pretty good, though not as salsa. |

Re: How Far, How Fast, How Heavy? Calculating the range for unsupported, long-distance hiking Why do I see this thread on your link rather than the article we are discussing?. I'm really uncomfortable with formulas that mix dimensions. It is interesting that if you subtract your pack w... |

MSR Stoves and Pumps... About failure modes of MSR stoves. I used the X-GK and various whisperlites for a very long time until I discovered ultralight backpacking. I still use my Whisperlight for winter trips or with ... |

Re: Solo or No Go Is solo travel safe? Well, on the average, most any given solo hike would be less safe than the same hike with a partner. Of course, it would be safer still if that partner was a talented emerg... |

Re: Light Weight 4 season Tent With respect to Stephenson Tents, there seem to be three kinds of people: people who find that they are fantastic and work very well, people who find they don't work well at all, and people like m... |

Re: Knobstone Thru hike There is never one answer. A good book to invest in is "FIxing Your Feet" by John Vonhof (Wilderness Press). |

Western Mountaineering Summer Coupler I think the big killer for me and my so was that it was made of cotton. It needs to be made of some very light synthetic instead. Once again, a great idea with poor execution. |

Patagonia R1 Balaclava One other thing that I think is good is that the stretchy fabric is relatively thin -- this means that if you are exercising you can still wear the hat in quite cold weather, and if it is wicked cold ... |

Superfeet Performance Green Thirty bucks is a lot of money for an insole. But it is way cheaper than knee surgery. I've been using them religiously for four years in everything but rock climbing shoes and backcountry ski boots... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover Lightweight, simple, doubles as a pillow. This pullover is a wonderful evolution of the original puffball pullover. |

GoLite Phantom Jacket Awesome light jacket. Enormous pit zips help ventilation a lot. High pockets let you stash gloves and trail mix where you can get them without taking your pack off. A little heavier than some more ... |

Patagonia Dragonfly pullover I don't go anywhere without this pullover. For everything from groomed cross-country ski tours to weeklong climbing trips to long-distance backpacks. This is probably the most useful item of clothin... |

Patagonia Specter Jacket Wonderfully light. Waterproof. Reasonably breathable. More expensive than my first car (and more waterproof too). The big pockets help venting a bit, but it doesn't (in my opinion) vent particul... |

ULA Equipment P-1 I've used my P-1 since March, with several trips up to two weeks (with resupply) and trips as long as seven days without a resupply. I like the side pockets a lot. I'd like them better (and give t... |
