Awesome!!! Great report. How do you mount the video camera?

When specifically? Also how fast, how much support?

I have the little update thingy in my status bar. They'll keep selling the shoes today till they're gone, just gotta hope sizing is right.

I think it's a muskrat. Doesn't look quite right for a beaver.

:mad::mad::mad::mad: I just got back from class and hit SAC just in time to glimpse the shoes before it switched over to the sleeping pad.

Yep. Straps onto the roof rack.

Now I am going to cry. Thank you for sharing this with us Mats.

I ordered a pair of the Lafuma OS 26 softshell shoes to try out. I got em for $40 with free shipping and free return shipping. They might end up as walkaround shoes if they're comfy enough but not trailworthy.

We have had the same X cargo box since I was three or four. It has plenty of room for loaded packs and can be set up by one person (two is better).

David is right on both counts. Go big, get lots of space. That way, you can shoot at the highest resolution and not run out of room. It's not like carrying lots of extra rolls of film, it takes up no space and weighs nothing and means you can just switch cards if you run out of memory six...

I'm pretty sure that you can get over the "max". After a track race last year, my heart rate was 206-208 (I was 17). It was a really uncomfortable experience. However, 180 is still an unnaturally high HR. 60 is a normal resting rate for a fit person, 70 for "average" people. When running...

Thanks Jason. I snooped around and found the http://store.everestgear.com/gm1009.html. The Salomons were only in size 13. :( Salomon makes excellent adventure racing/trail running gear, but it's all so darn expensive.

Absolutely. I think that Alex's article was written as a cautionary tale to make people stop and think about the risks that they take with kids in the mountains. To get an accurate picture, you've got to get everybody's story and examine them all together. I can't imagine that they would take...

Thanks ADK, I had glanced at the Slingshot but kinda ignored it due to its being too big. When I read reviews of it though, many suggested sizing up, so that Slingshot from GearTrade is back in the running. Lisa, I think my feet are pretty standard. I wear a 9.5 or 10 in Nikes, a 10 in Asics...

Hey guys, I've finally broken down and admitted that I should get some footwear that is in between my Mizuno Wave Riders and my heavy backpacking boots. :( Trail running shoes seem like the way to go, given my text book-limited gear funds and natural propensity to be a cheapskate. The...

Trish, I'm in partial agreement with you on the matter. Unbiased (ok, less biased) journalism would be much appreciated in stories like this and in any story. However, that's highly unlikely given the sensational nature of the situation. The SP article is bound to be emotional and biased-...

Congratulations to Traildog! When people do this, do they sleep on their feet or consume ungodly quantities of Gu and caffine to stay awake for the entire 60 hours? PS, I'm looking for some real trail running/hiking shoes and would appreciate advice on less expensive options.

My MH Torch has a stiffened strip in the storm flap to keep it in place and that works just fine for me. When I'm snowboarding at a resort, I wear an Oakley Wing Man jacket. It has a magnet in the hood and one in the upper back so that the hood doesn't flap around when it's down. It works...

Did you notice if it had black "socks" on the lower legs? If not, then it was a gray fox. I've never seen one, but from pictures it looks like a coyote coat on a fox body. As I recall, foxes are really little, even compared to coyotes, so if it was the right size for a fox but looked like a...

For a long time, we used an old white gas Coleman but switched to the propane a couple years ago. Usually, we compliment that with my dad's white gas Svea backpacking stove. The propane Coleman is less bulky, even with the canisters, than the white gas one (at least the version we have).
