Never had a quilt The pad is so much more versatile. If you go to ground or have to sleep in a shelter as is required for transiting the Smokies, the pad works. I use a three quarter length Neo-air under my torso ... |

My three Sawyer squeeze water filter: light, no waiting, lasts forever. 2K miles and counting with no regrets. The bags that come with it were practically useless to me. Recommend replacing them with sod... |

Re: Re: A couple of things David, Glad I could help especially because your findings are particularly interesting. The findings of other experimenters I've read have been most notable for their imprecision and have g... |

Hennessy Hammocks Customer Service They bend over backwards to guarantee satisfaction. They show me trust, respect and are responsive to my questions. When there's been a problem they've over-rectified it. Great Company. |

Gossamer Gear These people deliver great products. They correct problems quickly and are responsive to their email. Sometimes they go the extra mile, doing more than they have to to satisfy the customer. Nuff sai... |

Princeton Tec EOS A little heavy, but not uncomfortably so. The long lasting low beam (121 hrs on 3 AAA's) is usually all I need for hiking and almost every task in camp. The high beam punches a deep hole in the... |

Mountain House Precooked Scrambled Eggs with Bacon Didn't give this the lowest rating because I lived to tell about it. Gaaack! I bought a couple of these for a mid 50 miler treat after watching a rave video review by a certain cantankerous ponti... |

Nalgene CXC Rapid fill 3 liter bladder The dummies didn't make the cap the same size as it is on their wide mouthed jars (a defacto standard) so certain screw on filter adapters don't fit. Otherwise, a nice product. I like the snap... |
