Was this their catalog complete with bare skin? They're a super weird company...

Cascade Mountain Tech may be cheap, but they're well made poles that have been used by a lot of us. I have no concerns about their quality.

Paypal Goods and Services is probably the most common one that provides a bit of protection on both ends. Don't use friends and family unless it's someone you absolutely trust - it eliminates the...

Seems like an awfully strong statement given the number of people in this thread alone that have used it for decades with no such results.

The Hillsound trail crampons work almost exactly like the Kahtoola's. I've got a pair of each. The only significant thing I noticed is that the Hillsounds are a bit more aggressive for steep ice. ...

Anyone have an educated opinion on the various options (Sno Seal, Nikwax, Nature Seal, etc)? I've used all of them in the past, mostly based on what happened to be on the shelf in the closest decent...

I'll throw out that there a few brands where the temperature ratings have always seemed to be reasonable to me. Western Mountaineering and Feathered Friends in particular. In both cases, I've been...

He encouraged you to do you (aside from the part where you made up nonsense, that is).

12-18 inches? Good grief. We went from 5-8 predicted as of Monday down to a tiny, tiny bit of nothingness when it actually hit. Ugh!

It was just curiosity - I've got a good dehydrator that I rarely use. If this were easy to dump on a tray and get something useful out of, I might give it a shot. I figured somebody might have gone...

Anyone try dehydrating it?

Good job on the tent repair! Considering the size of the hole that patch seems to have worked well.

Man, I'm going to miss getting up there this winter! Enjoy it as much as you can.

As I recall, my older Black Diamond headlamp slowly adjusts brightness while you hold down the button. Not step by step, but a progressive adjustment like spinning a dimmer switch. I think it's a...

I haven't noticed it, but my understanding is that's reasonable for an LED in general. Slow decay rather than sudden burnout, especially when they're driven hard.

Yep, there were various workarounds. Bite tips, even clunky straps to hold the light next to your head. Headlamps were a huge improvement (especially LED so you got improved durability and battery...

So many memories of drooling on a Mini Mag. I'm glad to have moved on!

If you click the meeting link, it comes up as being scheduled for 12/6 at 4pm (EST), so it's definitely on Sunday.

Glad to hear it!

Another one to consider is Mountain Laurel Designs. I only have their smallest pack (the Core), but as I recall their larger offerings are available in very durable ripstop fabrics. I replaced my...

As much as I love the packed size and the insulation to weight ratio on the new fully inflatable pads, I've never been able to sleep as comfortably on them as on the older/conventional self inflating...

I've never heard of running a traditional liquid fuel stove on alcohol like that. A true alcohol stove, of course.

I'm sure you have all sorts of evidence to back up that a) many donors didn't renew, and b) it had -anything- to do with 'loosing' (sic) their focus on the mission...

I obviously need a nap. Read the thread title and couldn't figure out what tears (that come from your eyes) were good for in this case.

Interesting. I'd always pronounced it 'dine' but recently started saying Katahdin because I assumed it had been my mistake all along.

My experience with the Sawyer Micro led me to throw it away...
