Re: How to Recharge Your Soul - NY Times Op-Ed What a great guy. Just met him the other week in Ashland before he went with his sons to hike the Timberline Trail around Hood (a la UL). His "Recharge Your Soul" column remains one of th... |

Long Torso Packs Ditto about the larger ULA packs like the Catalyst. They fit my long torso better than any other off-the-shelf pack of it's size. In the volume range you're after---My Zip fits me very well... |

Names I always liked the acronym K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) which well describes the Zip---a pack reduced to essentials----a lovely pack all in all. In light of Passover, Exodus will do nicely a... |

Concerning K. Where have I been? New work and more emphasis on mtneering and now ski oriented activities. I'll be watching. :-)> |

That dang Warmlite mythos I can't tell you how much the images in the catalogue rocked my world when I received it the first time at the tender age of 12! >:-D I had to hide it from my parents. I always was precocio... |

BPL hoodywinking Gotta have a Goth option. I'd also like to see a mid-century modern option----say Acid Green. hee hee. |

Cocoon Pullover FS Immaculate w/ renewed DWR. From a previous crop----deep, rich blue Pertex Quantum exterior and Black int. Size L but sized a little smaller than the latest run ---so call it a generous M. Actual w... |

Montrail CTC (Fusion line) trail low tops Just an excellent off-trail shoe that is still nimble enough (and light enough) to be an everyday backpacking shoe in Western mtn. Summer conditions. Rigid enough footplate to protect feet in rough te... |

Black Diamond Raven Ultra Ice Axe Although Aluminum headed axes are all the rage among Ski Mtneers, Adventure Racers, and UL Backpackers, they do have some very specific limits. They tend to have such light heads that they can be lar... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Soul Bivy (2006 Epic Top version) The Soul Bivy has undergone continual evolution and the new versions favor the lighter, more breathable but less water resistant (than Epic) Momentum fabric top. My MLD Soul Bivy reflected some of th... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Grace Solo .97 Spinntex At 6.1 oz. (actual measured weight), this 102" long, 84" tapering to 56" wide, catanery cut tarp provides ample coverage for the 6' plus solo user and an excellent strength to weigh... |

Big Sky Products Evolution 2P A solidarity posting for those who have yet to receive their tents after many promises and atrocious wait times. The tents sound like a nice idea but, then again, Vaporware often does. |

Timberland Delerion Low Pro These bright yellowy things have been like ballet shoes on my feet --fantastic flexibility and lightness makes one feel very nimble. Think Peter Pan w/ hotrod detailed footwear. For me---great comfort... |

Patagonia Specter Jacket I thought I had reviewed this before, thanks recent reviewers to spurring me to give my 2 kopecks. Although not offering the same degree of moisture transfer as eVENT or Paclite, Patagonia's pr... |

Patagonia Dragonfly pullover A fantastic deal at the close out prices that are going around--- and if value were the sole criteria, it would deserve a "5". A full zip and use of more breathable (and better DWR) Pertex Quantum is ... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Prophet 25/30 A little smaller than the G6 but also taller and narrower to keep it from rubbing against off-trail obstacles. It comes with the sternum strap and bungees( for carrying water,adventure race style) tha... |

Gossamer Gear G6 Whisper It led the way in it's niche and still offers enough to satisfy most weight shedding demons. I don't mind the tissue thin materials--it's small and narrow enough to rest in the relative safety of my b... |
