I have two of the 11 oz. Byers.
The support lines at the head / foot of one unraveled, making the hammock unusable.
The other one "threw" me out onto the ground. Snap, Thud !
That's the only time...

:dance Any news on Andrew “Trail Dog” Thompson's record attempt, scheduled to finish today at Springer ??

Another really great site to campo when in that area is at Pickens Nose. It's about 3/4 mi. off of the AT to the east at Mooney Gap. The raod from the AT is open to the trailhead, except the last...

"[QUOTE=NICKTHEGREEK]Walrus Arch Rival- alas no longer with us, but 34 sq ft in a 4 lb package a delux accomodation for one. I may be too nostalgic but I had my best trips with this tent and it's...

The weather station at Wine Spring gap near Wayah Bald, NC ( just south of the NOC)indicated 15F this past Sunday morning, with temps never climbing out of the mid-twenties. Burrrr ...

Ill go out on a limb here:
Yeah, a good friend on mine took out a $6,000.00 loan to fix a congenital hip problem that his mixed breed puppy had. If it had been my dog: I'd sure miss him.

Sierra Trading Post has some fairly nice hammocks on sale for $20. I just received several to have on hand for gifts and they're pretty nice for the money. Made better than most and not a big...

The WM stuff sacks are urethane coated nylon. The fabric is waterproof, but the seams aren't sealed.
A good option for total waterproofness are the Outdoor Research HydroLite Dry Sacks. Plus,...

Yep, the WM's come with both a stuff sack and a large storage bag. Haven't had the heart to compress my new Versalite down to it's minimum volume yet. I just put it into the bottom of my pack and...

I just got a CompactFlash GPS for my iPAQ Pocket PC. Sweet, very sweet.

I've had a pair of the Campmoor 20F down bags for about 8 years and they've been quite durable and well worth the money. Although I've used them in the upper teens, I would not recommend them for...

My wife just switched to a silly nylon Gossamer Gear Miraposa at 1 lb, so we have an Arc'Teryx BOREA available.

I had the same cold foot problem a few weeks ago using a full length blue Target pad under my feet at 37F and attributed the problem to the fact that my feet may have been slightly elevated reletive...

I haven't used the JetBoil myself, but it sure seems to me that the wonderfully effiecient heat exchanger on the bottom of the cup that absorbs all of that heat from the burner's flame will be...

My wife has a pack that she would like to sell.
She is about 5'-3", but has an short torso and narrow shoulders. In trying many packs over the years she has found that while short packs are fairly...

My wife is still looking for the perfect pack in that weight range. Her torso is the same as yours, but she's 5'-3' with very narrow shoulders and the shoulder strap spacing is a problem for her. ...

I've added two "improvements" to my two Hennesseys:
1. I cut the ridgeline inside the bug net, which lets me completely invert the hammock for use without the net : especially good in hot weather...
