Re: Re: Tarp Guylines Doug, I have read that article as well and thought it was a good idea. Have you had the opportunity to make adjustments once set up? I wonder if you can just take one end and pull the line to bri... |

Re: Tarp Guylines I use an Oware 10’x10’ flat tarp with a customized extra guy loop located in the center of the ridgeline. Even though it may be a little bigger than some would use, I find it extremely versatil... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Bugs and tarping I have tried Tinny's bug bag and it is huge. Plenty of room to wiggle. I was shipped a white one from him and believe a black one would have been better. Easy to work with. I open it up and put ... |

Trangia Simmering I use a Trangia with the Clikstand quite a bit. About the only time I do not is when I need to melt snow, and then I too use the Brunton Optimus Nova (changed from the MSR Whisperlite for stability... |

Re: confusion with Ray Way Having little to do with the individual other than purchasing and reading his books, based on what I have read from his books and in various posts, it does seem that Ray is somewhat a Bohemian. Mea... |

RE: Nalgene Cantene’s I have used the Nalgene soft cantene in the 32 ounce, 48 ounce and 96 ounce sizes. I have also used the Platypus bags in the 1 liter, 2+ liter, 3 liter and 4 liter ‘big zip’ reservoir sizes. So... |

Camp shoes I like the Speedo Surf Walkers, but they enclose the foot so kind of defeats (or is that de feets) the desire of air flow. Keen Newport sandals have a rounded front to cover the toes in case you a... |

Photon Light Proton Personal Flashlight I would give the Proton a 4 out of 5 score primarily because of its high cost ($69). It is an excellent light if you need to do any emergency signaling at night or if you need a high intensity beam fo... |

Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo I like the simplicity in the concept of the design. It is a combination of bivy sack and single wall tent with plenty of room that weighs in at 25 ounces. The bathtub floor and netting along the floor... |

ULA H2O Amigo I too am a firm believer in gravity filters. It is a blessing that you can still get filtered water with little effort while you complete some other chore around camp. I have used self made gravity fi... |

Beyond Backpacking by Ray Jardine I believe each post have their valid points. I believe the general consensus, mine included, is that Beyond Backpacking © is something that should be on every backpacker’s bookshelf. I have read and r... |

Go Lite Speed I rate this pack a 5. I also have its smaller brother the GoLite Race, which I gave my son. For 2 pounds, not including ... |

GoLite Breeze I have to say this is not the worst pack I ever had, but close to it. I do like the simplicity, but the straps are just killer. With 18 pounds I can carry on one shoulder and switch sides, but when ... |

Photon Freedom Micro (White) These are great little lights! I have the White, Red and Blue with 2 clips. I wear the White and Red on my lanyard and keep the Blue on a hat clip. The Blue was bought as a joke with the Scouts... H... |

REI Peak UL I bought these to replace my older / heavier poles. I prefer collapsible poles so I can adjust the height with my tarps and my SMD Lunar Solo. I did the research before buying and was concerned about... |

Snow Peak Gigapower Ti I had one of these for almost a year. I thought the four pot supports were a great idea and wish more manufacturers would do so. However I had a few issues and thanks to REI return policy I was able t... |

Brunton Crux I think this stove is the next generation of things to come. With a collapsible burner head, it folds over for 3.1 ounces of ultimate compact ability. The oversized burner head offers a better burn an... |
