I just looked at the quilt and that is a lot of $$$ for an 18oz 50 degree! How about...

1. That quilt will not be enough. Maine and the Whites do not have summer weather, consistently at any time of year.
2. I didn't see a ground cloth? Maybe I missed it. I can't imagine bedding...

I once put the foot of my sleeping bag inside a plastic bag to keep the moisture of the tent roof off. I woke up and my legs and sleeping bag were soaked through with sweat. It wasn't a good idea

Yeah that's a great video. I was actually in that store in Bozeman about a month ago!

The problem with folding the nozzle over is long term fatigue. Imagine doing a thru hike with a folded over...

Just found this on google images. Now that is interesting. 28181

Size regular, for both. You can see the protrusion of the valve in this picture. The pack makes no accommodation for this at all.

Heartfire, that's awesome you've made so many mods! I have to admit this is my first real pack mod. I wanted to keep the pack pristine to sell on eBay just in case the Klymit wasn't helping much. ...

I bought a GG Crown AC 60 this year in the hopes that it would offer a better solution than either my ancient ULA Circuit with sagging back panel and a bad case of creaking, or my too-heavy Osprey...

I tried microspikes for the first time and loved them. But be aware that Kahtoola very recently updated the design, and a lot of retailers are still selling the old version. The new version has 4...

It was either that or a link to a place to buy the song. Then again, Spotify is pretty awesome.

I think the Think Tank is a similar design but very robust and heavier.

I use an F-Stop Droploader 20

It provides good protection at a light-ish weight (11.6 oz) has a built in...

Everyone should check out the song "Half Mile Down" by Old Crow Medicine Show. http://open.spotify.com/track/6S8kmGkuJ4iTEgRgegfRhD

It's a great song and tells the story of how TVA moved 751...

RIP Frodo.

Perhaps you should have read it.

Agreed. They used to have a name for those who couldn't march 70 miles; deserters.

It seems the author of the piece is unaware that the kids are not hiking Stonewall's route of march, but merely the AT, like everyone else out on the trail for spring break. And that these are some...

This is really sad. ...

This is fake. Look at the camera work. In the first shot the camera is in front of him. Then it cuts to a perfect close up of the mountain lion. In the next cut the camera is behind him with the...

Yeah that's what I'm concerned about. But I think if it tests out fine then it is definitely a replacement for my green neoair as it has more or equal R-value for less weight. I don't think it...

I just wanted to corroborate what I've been reading about the Peak Elite AC, which is that people are reporting it actually weighs LESS than what POE claims. My girlfriend just got the women's...

Wow I was about to buy the neoair all season until I saw this post. Guess I've been out of the loop for too long this summer.

Just watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meVnWw3s0Hc

I am looking for some interesting statistics about the AT to post on a blog, and I was hoping to find some stats on the total elevation gain, state by state. More specifically, I would like to see...

It bothered me too that people refered to themselves as "just" section hikers. However it also struck me as odd when a thru hiker would say he was "going as far as he can," or something similar. A...

My experience with Dahlonega was 1. Epic Pizza 2. Yuppy Connecticut-style outfitter more interested in selling "Life is Good" t-shirts and 3. the lady at the visitor information center telling me I...
