You'll quickly learn that there are a couple items you can upgrade and shave several lbs right away. Shelter, sleeping bag, sleeping pad... but don't upgrade to an ultralight pack until your whole...

With Z Packs warranty, I wouldn't worry too much about zippers being a fail point. I've been having the same internal debate lately. Am I the only one who just doesn't find the mesh pocket...
Altra has been life changing for me. No more deciding between my pinky toe rubbing or the shoe being too long.
haha shoots!
If you gotta beat it, you probably didn't train it right in the first place. ;)
Way to beat a dead horse there.
haha Touche, sir.
Good points there all around. My hopes were that some others like me would get to see the products first hand, then put in their own orders. I had hoped to let other like me finally pull the...
If you're not interested in the idea, then move on. I'm not looking for ethics opinions at this time. I've conversed with Z Packs on their return policy directly.
I guess I should clarify... I'm going to do this for my own benefit no matter what. I have a nearly new backpack and good tent, but want to lighten my load, and their products are at the top of my...
We use to tie the two zippers together on someone's tent in Royal Rangers. Always good for a laugh.
You make it sound like there will be 100 people in muddy boots crawling in and out of the tent all day. I'm guessing more like 5-10 who will view the tent, and maybe set it up and take it back down,...
Good thoughts. My idea was to start at HF and head south to avoid all of the traffic at the very beginning of the trail. I figured by the time I met the bubble in the middle, 1/4 of them would've...
We all know their reputation for customer service. This isn't about customer service in any way. If your comment is about customer service, then save it and move on. This idea is about people not...
I do it all the time.
Just read a thread about buying a pack without trying it on. I'm going through the same thing. I actually contacted Z Packs about a demo pack program, but got shut down. I have a hard time...
Okay, you're not doing it wrong. I'm just wondering; does anyone flip flop SOBO from HF, then NOBO from HF?
Yes? No? Why? Why not?
Anyone have real experience doing this?
I used my BeFree in a nasty, murky green, still pond in Texas last weekend. Water came out clear, and oder and taste free, and we were able to filter 7L of water in just a few minutes. Loving it so...
17 in your group?! :eek:
Hoping! Just have to work out the leave of absence with work. If it doesn't work, I'll at least be doing 6 weeks during the summer.
After 2,200 miles, summiting Katahdin would be worth a fine or couple nights in jail if I couldn't get a permit. Highly doubt it would come to that, but I'd jump a fence and hike at night in the...
If it's below 65, it's sweater weather here in Texas!
I've slept on a NeoAir Xtherm (R5.9) in a 45 degree bag (only bag I currently own) with a couple base layers in 13 degree weather for two nights alone in the tent. I was obviously cold, but I...
May 1st is my birthday, so that might be a neat idea!

All reviews I've read of the Sea to Summit Thermolite liners have said that the temp claims run true.
