I don't have any personal experience with this pack, but mountain hardware recently launched the thruway 50 pack. It comes in at 1 lb. 13 oz. and has a removable frame sheet I you're interested in...

Yeah, I'd have to agree with everything that has been posted. I would definitely take it back. The torso length, shoulder straps, and hip belt are all going to be wrong for you, and if you were to...

I'm planning to use one of Batch Stovez beer bottle alcohol stoves for my thru hike. More durable than the cat stove. No priming. No pot stand. www.batchstovez.com

Does anyone have some experience with US Military Light Weight Patrol Sleeping Bag? The technical specs that I've read say that it is rated to +30 and comes in at around two pounds, but since it is...

+++ to Osprey Stratos 24. I have had mine for about six months and take it out on day hikes almost every weekend. Great durability and large enough capacity to carry everything you need. (Not that...
