I have a GoLite Jam 50 for sale, brand new, size small. Purchased last year for my thru-hike but I decided against it at the last minute. Willing to sell for $100 (shipped) OBO. Help a poor...

Still available: GoLite Jam 50 in small for sale. Will sell for $100 obo. Thanks.

I have one in small for sale if anyone needs a small. Brand-new with the tags on.

Hi Slo-go'en! It's me, Poppins. Yep, I loved my umbrella, though it was not helpful on Goose Eye Mountain in Maine when the rain was blowing sideways. It kept the gnats out of my face in PA. It kept...

I have a brand-new GoLite Jam 50 in size small (fits torso length to approximately 18 in) that is for sale. I purchased it for my AT thru-hike but did not end up using it. It's a nice pack but I...

My problem with finding health insurance is the pre-existing condition exclusion/riders issue. What do you do for health insurance if you have a pre-existing condition and can't get health insurance...

Okay, makes sense...So does anyone know of a really lightweight no-see-um bug net (floor not necessary) that's inexpensive?

I'm looking for a mosquito net to use with my tarp but I don't know if I really need no-see-um netting or regular mosquito netting. How much of a problem are midges/no-see-ums/black flies on the AT?...

Good idea on the thin reflecting CCF pad, but I have not seen any CCF pads that are both thin AND reflecting--where did you find yours?

Since you posted this I stopped using my thick Smartwool socks at night and start using an old (no brand) thick pair of wool socks because they fit looser...My feet have warmed up faster at...

For me, its NOT about cost, it's about FIT. Does it fit? As a poor college grad, I once shelled out $400 on a pack (it was a Dana Design) because it was the only pack that felt comfortable at the...

I just bought an Exped SynMat UL 7 pad in short (64") at my local outfitter yesterday for $92....I wasn't going to buy it at the regular $150 price and instead use an Evazote pad, but when I saw this...

I just put in an order for a EE 20deg Revelation...I went with the 15D fabrics (he said he wouldn't go with them for the weight savings factor but for the breathability and combined...

[If you sleep cold, I would not recommend starting with a 40* quilt. [/QUOTE]

Sorry for the confusion, everyone, I am NOT planning on using my quilt at the start of my trip--for that I'll use my...

1. Has anyone used any of these quilts? I'm considering a RevelationX 40F quilt for the summer because the price is good (17.75oz) , but in an email to me Tim says the X versions can be "sticky when...

I also use it for x-c skiing, so I was also thinking it would be too warm to hike in compared to a t-shirt and unlined windshirt. But then I had this thought: maybe I could use it instead of a...

So it seems like any of these tents can handle condensation well. I've narrowed my choices to the Notch or LH Solo. Both are double walled. Both are nearly the exact same weight and comparable cost....

So the water beads off better, which is cool, but how does this help with condensation inside the tent? Curious, how much weight did this add to your tent?

The Precip is actually a rain jacket, not a windbreaker.

Oops, my mistake--meant to say I have the Marmot DriClime Windshirt--Sorry! (I *used* to have a Precip but that was replaced with the...

Yeah, I saw that, but the reviews are pretty bad in terms of durability...but it could work if I'm gentle with them and don't wear them outside of my bag. Anybody know how much they weigh? No weight...

thanks for the links folks-- I don't want to get into the mindset of "oh, why not bring it? it's just 5 oz"--that's how people end up with 35 lb packs ;-) But if it's a very helpful 5 oz then maybe...

Hi folks--I just bought a GoLite Chrome Dome umbrella at the strong recommendation of my trail mentor. For those of you who have used one, what do you wear underneath that?

I have a 12oz...

Thanks--this is exactly the kind of thoughtful advice I'm looking for. Lotsa factors to consider...I never thought that there'd be places where I'd not be able to use stakes...though I could probably...

it's not the weight, it's the extra $50+ dollars I could save myself possibly. I'm waiting for a sale.

Do you think it would work to use an insulating jacket instead of wearing down booties? Has anyone tried this? (I have major cold feet problems)
