My Locale Wet & Humid Southeast....
About Me I have been backpacking a little over 3 years now, but in that time I have logged a number of trail miles and went through a lot of gear trying to find my sweet spot. Now, thanks to cuben fiber, alcohol stoves, down and of course a better understanding, my TPW has severly dropped! My cold weather BPW is 9 - 10 lbs and my warm weather BPW is 5 - 6 lbs.
About 95% of the time I hike with family or friends and in the SouthEastern states. My favorites places to get away are anywhere along the AT as well as in the Great Smoky Mountains.

The Trail Show Podcast
I have never listened to the "BPL" podcasts, but have been listening to the guys (and gals) over on The Trail Show, and it has been quite entertaining. I have enjoyed it for sure.

Re: Columbia
+1 on the Columbia Silver Ridge pants. I have been wearing them for about 4 years now and love them.
