About Me

Steve Nelson, Winter Systems Editor, has been backpacking and playing in the snow since he was a kid growing up in upstate New York. Now living in California, he backpacks throughout the Sierra Nevada and Cascades, and has a special love for winter camping, snowshoeing and backcountry skiing. He likes to travel fast and light, is always on the lookout for ways to safely shave ounces from gear, and never met a storm he didn't enjoy.

	Re: Comparing Tarp Tents Interesting - I like the side entry tarptents for precisely the same reason: when I sit up my head is at the peak (that is, about the middle of the shelter). Sitting up in a front-entry tent mea...	In GEAR » Lunar Solo or Refuge... May 06, 11:18pm
	Re: Re: Benefits of Trade Agreed - 90% of engineers are outside the US. Our educational system is falling well behind those in many other countries. While we argue over creationism, other countries are educating their kids ...	In GEAR » Made in the USA May 06, 11:05pm
	MPGs I'm betting Sarah was exaggerating a bit - but not a huge bit. The only Mercedes ever sold in the U.S. that comes close to that is the manual transmission 190D from the mid-80s (I had one, and ...	In GEAR » Tarptent and coming economic doom May 03, 12:07pm

	Rearranging the deck chairs Hah! Touché, HechoEnDetroit. I do think it's clear which heads are being stuck into which sand; some folks will go to great blustering lengths to avoid the broader - and obvious - truth. ...	In Chaff » The Carbon Flame War April 23, 3:37pm
	re: Full Size Hi Kevin - I can't speak to other body sizes and types, so what I did was measure the quilt at several points and provide that information in the table up front in the review - hope that helps....	In Editor's Roundtable » GoLite Ultra Quilt Review April 02, 8:32am

	GoLite Ultra I don't know if there's a "silver bullet", but here's another alternative: the GoLite Ultra quilt. Rated at 20°, and very flexible for a wide range of temperatures. We'...	In GEAR » What constitutes an ideal three season bag? March 07, 8:06pm
	Re: More Fins Steve - nice job on the pulk. Are you using his fiberglass rods and waist belt, or something else? The fins are just like what I was going to try on one of my pulks - the ones Ed sells are meant...	In Editor's Roundtable » Take the Load Off: Using Pulks to Travel Over Snow February 02, 1:45pm
	Fins and weights Hi Ed - I worked with Ed Bouffard on the article and will see if I can dig up a picture of the fins.
