I handled the Vargo Titanium at Trail Days. It had a good feel but I didn't get to test it. It would have been my second choice.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I chose the Emberlit El-Mini. No need for a pot stand, windscreen or alcohol! Got a fire started first try.

I'm looking to switch from an alcohol stove to wood burning. I would prefer something ultralight (under 5oz) and one that I can use my existing pot (Ti 4.7 oz, 0.9 liters) with. I have saved up a...
I only used stitching.
I used my phone as the camera so I couldn't take a picture of the phone in the pouch. Yes, it's attached to the pack strap with velcro. It's easier to get out than put it back in, but you could...

I used 2 layers of Tyvek for each.
It is the weight of 2 small quick connect hoses attached (about 6" each) and probably some water left in there as well from a recent trip.
I use the Gravityworks Water Filter which functions just like the Sawyer 3-way Inline. I have a custom setup: I ditched the 4 liter clean bag and use my 2 liter reservoir with a hose instead. I also...
I was a flight attendant for 3 years. You'll have a better chance of getting giardia from that pillow than most water sources. :P The stuffing is cheap and will compress after a short time and get...
I like Patagonia Capilene 2. I wore them around camp without anything on top of the pants and got a hole in the bottom from what I think was a firepit log. Patagonia replaced them for me.
I like the Patagonia Hipsters. I have a skort that has built in shorts that I use as well.
I have a HMG cuben stuff sack pillow and I really like it. I put my down jacket inside and it isn't too firm or too soft. It is reversible so your face is against fleece and it's only 1.2 oz! The...
Max Patch, I tried the baby powder and it worked for me also. Thank you :)
I would recommend a compression bag. I personally like Granite Gear or Sea to Summit with eVent. They are waterproof and I've used them both with down and synthetic. I would take the sleeping bag...

Interested in starting with a female or male hiker, in their 20s, who doesn't have an early deadline.
I got horrible blisters my first 3 weeks on the AT, then I discovered Injinji Toe Socks. I use the lightweight ones as liners under my regular smartwool socks. I also switched from waterproof boots...
That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing :)
I have the same problem with my Salomons and pink SuperFeet. I have yet to find a solution. I noticed one side squeaks more than the other.
Stumbled upon this review today for the longer version.

I used a Hammock Gear 4 season cat cut tarp on my AT hike. It has 4 doors and weighs about 6.5 oz. I love it!
Salomon XA Pro Ultra 2 Trail Running Shoes (women's) and I love them! Best part is never having to re-tie laces again!
I would not recommend the Inertia for use in a hammock! I am only considering one if I want to sleep in a shelter for a night or in a situation like the Smokies where you are supposed to sleep in the...
Are you concerned with weight? I'm only asking because this is the "ultra-light forum". If so, last year on my hike for GA-PA I took my iPhone 4 (the older version) and I am very happy with my...
