Hey folks. Thanks for all the interest on the cape. I guess it all came down to timing, as it was sold to the first person who contacted me. Happy trails.

Selling my Six Moon Designs Gatewood Cape. It's basically a poncho tent. It's gray, seam sealed, weighs 11 ounces (listed weight at SMD), and has only been used once. Comes with everything a brand...

$250.0 for a free standing 2 man tent that only weighs 2.6 pounds. That's a hell of a good buy. They are sold out now, but I called Golite and they will have more available May 1st for the same...

I just bought one of these. Have been using it for a couple trips now. My problem is that I cant get water into the damn bags. I guess its because all the water sources down here in the desert are...

I don't know if anyone has ever worn Mammut boots, but I recently reviewed the new Mammut T Aenergy for Mountain Gear, and was pleasantly surprised. These boots aren't really like the full grain...

I used to own a pair but ended up selling them. At first I thought they were great for the shorter hikes I was doing, but after I upped my mileage they caused my feet a lot of pain. Eventually I just...

I moved to Arizona last summer. I just haven't updated my info on here yet.

I would feel really good about using it in Washington. They'll be plenty of fuel, and lots of canopy to shelter from the...

Don't know if anyone's tried a wood burning stove in the backcountry, but I recently purchased one and used it backpacking a few times and thought I would share the review.

Okay. I found a pretty good thread on Hikearizona. Thanks JimmyJam

Yes, I have been a member of that site since I moved to Phoenix. If they had a board dedicated to the AZT or even just long distance hiking in general, perhaps I would have posted there instead......

Try there for what?

Hi. I just moved to Phoenix and am seriously contemplating a northbound thru-hike for the Spring. Just curious if anyone else had the AZT on radar this year?

I've never had a problem with mold in my Hiker Pro. I just dry pump it until no water comes out and store it. I've done it that way for years. Weird.

I was just watching a Youtube video of some dude's cook set, and the bottom of his pot was spray painted black. He claimed this took a minute off his boiling time. Anyone ever tried it? Does it...

@Toli - Yeah I looked at those stoves. I don't know, they are lighter, but to me they seem too flimsy and have too many parts. I'm a big fan of simplicity.

@daddytwosticks - Definitely a similar...

So I came across some YouTube reviews for the Solo Stove and was so impressed that I went straight to their website and paid a small fortune for the thing. All of the sudden two days later I'm...

The "Walk" series by Scott Herriott is pretty good if your looking for a fix. I think there are 5 total, and while they aren't free they're only 1.99 to rent on Amazon.com. I think each one is like...

So Iv'e been keeping a blog like for forever, and I thought I would share with you guys in case any of you enjoy photography or a good read. I've been a member here at Whiteblaze.net since I started...

Cool. Thanks 10-K.

Yeah, I am definitely taking maps. Hence the question about which ones were better. Thanks everyone... So another question. Which way is the best to go? NOBO or SOBO?

@Mags - I totally just...

Hi. I am considering a thru-hike for next Spring and I had a general map question that I couldn't find an answer too while browsing previous threads. I've noticed everyone gets the National...

First off. I didn't realize the mosquitoes on said trip would be as bad as they were. I planned for nearly 6 months. I read dozens of trail guides and trip reports and talked to Rangers and nothing...

I just wanted some thoughts on the subject. I know that SMD and ZPacks and others sell fully enclosed shelters, but in the field when I see people using tarps they are always open like my Golite. I...

I'm really trying to cut my weight down and jump on this ultralight train so I have a few questions on the sleeping situation.

Planning my AT thru-hike from last year I picked up a GoLite...
