is there anywhere to see a picture of the ULA Circuit aluminum stay? Also the specs, like grade of aluminum, dimensions, etc? I realize it would be easiest to see a pack, but that isn't possible...

moccasins are my go-tos.

Do you know if they have a non-Gore-tex version?
throw it in the tub with some laundry detergent and warm (not hot) water and let it sit for a while. push it down. slosh it around. squeeze out the padding with your knuckles like kneading bread. ...
Bravo, Dogwood. Bravo. (and I say that because I feel a kinship in their words, not as a FxUx to everyone else)
How you doin', Mr.Friendly?
I think maybe some of this is in response to hearing too often about shaving grams and doin' miles instead of hearing about the hikes, experiences, spiritualness, and friends. It resembles a...
15-20 miles per day is plenty, and I prefer to stay on the low end of that. I'm strolling and relaxing. I could stay home and not achieve that. Just my perspective on it all.
Yeah, no thanks. When I'm out there, I'm vacationing. No schedule(s). Nothing needs to get done. No concrete plans. I don't want to lead a party. No obligations or pre-conceived ideas. I'm...
This was my first thought as well. A friend of mine tries, and often achieves, 50 miles within 24 hours. I'm sure there are faster and longer goers out there. whoopee-ding. He isn't in training. ...
Maybe they'll make an ultralight fabric that is actually durable and that can last 30 years of real use, handling desert sun etc, that isn't as ridiculously expensive as Cuben or Dyneema. That's...
If you drop another 2 or 6 or 12 ounces, I'm willing to throw down serious money that you won't enjoy your outdoor adventures anymore than you do now. If you would, maybe it isn't the hiking,...
I'm a side or stomach sleeper, usually on my side. Hammocks are not comfortable at all. I never go into a needed, deep sleep in a hammock. They're great for naps, but not for a full night's rest.
Go to McHale's backpack site and use his measuring page. Not rocket science, but his method of measuring is a lot less screwupable than the others I've seen.

Some of the ones made just there at the end were made like utter crap. Waterproofing peeling and getting all over everything. Fabrics bleeding at the first sign of getting wet. Cut-corners...
Wool is incredible. National Geographic did an entire issue on wool. If I remember correctly, it can hold 60% of its weight in water before it feels damp to the touch. A living fiber. I'm...
Yep, I let the bag do the work of keeping me warm. It's more my job, or rather my body's job, to regulate my heat. I don't want to sweat at all. Pull the moisture, hoping there won't be much or...
a pair of thin wicking socks and about 50 jumping jacks before I get in my bag.
Typical 90's style internal: unzip horizontal zipper across the whole pack bottom quarter, and just the top quarter of a compression sack (pull mouth closed with a cord and cord lock) was sewn...
I like a sleeping bag compartment. Now, the old Ospreys with a sewn-in stuff-it sack within the sleeping bag bottom compartment, that was overkill
QUALITY, costs, and QUALITY that lasts, costs even more. They should be one in the same, but that is for another discussion. (especially in today's world where the basic quality of yesterday is now...
I'm always surprised by how many people are afraid to get their packs wet. Throw the filthy pack in a bathtub with some laundry detergent and a soft brush of some sort. Scrub away. Every...
Pretty much my same situation. I've been threatening to replace all the O-rings and whatnot that come in the repair kit, but I haven't wanted to mess with something that works just fine.
I...
I sleep on my side and sometimes stomach. That pad wouldn't work for me. Ouch.
