wool, like cornbread, is almost always a great idea. the wet weight factor must be factored in when thinking of its disadvantages, again similiar to cornbread, which may not be an ideal snack when full of water.

thanks dude! this is my lesson for the day

i use my prolite4 and an unfolded mtn. chair. the chair is great for sitting up while in your bag to eat, write, talk......

another thought! don't buy another nalgene, just use a gatorade or bottled water bottle. they are lighter, cheaper, come pre-filled and you can recycle them when they have been used too many times!

wide mouth nalgene or regular? are you serious?!?!? this is the second stupidest thread ever on VFTT ever after that stupid spoon/fork question. what is wrong with you people making me read all this junk, making me have to write a whole reply post to complain, i can't just ignore it, i have to...

ok, i guess i should have also added spork to the choices! edit: or a knork!!! i always just carry a spoon, not ideal for ramen or spagetti, but great for most everything else and i really like carrying only one thing. i am just curious what most people carry and why? william

hello, my name is william and i too am lightly pollyed in the winter :) my 20 bag and my -15 bag are both down. i have slept wearing or with wet clothes under my clothes to dry them many times on backpacking trips and never had a problem with the bag. if something is really wet and i need...

6 more weeks of winter?!?!? 6 more weeks of winter?!?!? wait.......when did it start? :eek: the grass is green, the sun is out, i heard birds singing and i don't need a jacket outside :confused: :confused:

booyakasha!!! Me be willie G of the VFTT massive and i tink dat yo' post deserve mad props. respect! westside! tis is a bit racialist toward blokes who enjoy monandock tho'! BTW...monadnock was fun on sunday, i enjoyed the facial i got from 30mph winds and hail :)

woooo-haaaa! thx for the great read. we might be changin' our plans after reading your report. owl's head to guyot is REALLY seeming like a too long of a day now. was the whackin' at the top of the slide awful or really awful? glad you made it back safe and didn't take the quick way down that...

both the XGK EX and the simmerlite have the braided wire hose rather than the oldshool straight pipe, so both are far more compactable than the older models. FYI i thought the rubber gasket between the pump and bottle as shown in the instructions was missing, but the cap part of the pump is...

i am pretty sure i am not to ask about (description deleted as poster tried to skirt the site rules about posting lost and found for other than items of substantial value, and thread being locked for the same reason)but the locked post got me thinking about it; both my lost stuff and the VFTT...

i think of it as a V8, its big, loud and powerful, and if you need it, you need it, otherwise its a gas guzzler. its a new version of a stove that's been around for many, many years. if i understand correctly, the pipes are extra big for use at atlitude which is where this stove shines. if...

down booties rock! never leave home without them. my sierra designs booties have been great for many years. mtnhardware had a sweet pair with thick treaded soles, but it was quite a bit heavier. they are great to wear around camp, in a hut or shelter, to the privy or randomn bush at 3AM when...

ems mountain chair, same as crazy creek chairs. i always carry mine and usually on the outside of my pack so its very quick and easy to grab and sit on. they roll up quite well. as david metsky said, they have lots of uses. summer or winter its a little extra padding under my sleeping pad as...

take the warmer bag take the -20!!! i was there sunday night, it was in the 20's inside when we arrived late afternoon (about 5 outside) and in the 30's or 40's with the stove on later and 5-10 below outside. it got to atleast -11 outside that night and was 15 inside the cabin in the morning...

this is an old fireroad that makes a 3.8 mile arc through some beautiful backcountry just off the main park road in the glades. I chatted it up with a NPS volunteer and got a ride to the first trailhead and planned on waking the 3.8 miles of trail, then crossing the road to another set of trails...

its all stuff people saw on the trail.....whilst hiking!!!!! BTW, star trek episodes are a bit off topic from the original post, please reread it:):):):):):) DO NOT go to rotten.com please, nobody. its gross.
