Ok how about the Alps Mountaineering 3-Season Mystique 1.0 AL 1-Person Tent. It weights 3 lbs 11 oz.. it is a bit on the heavy side, but not as heavy as the Kelty Salida 2 @5 lbs 8 ozs. There is...

Ok I decided to keep my Hiker pro filter. I couldn't find it on my receipt so I think the lady never rung it up. I know it's a little heavy, but I'm going to buy 2 Nalgene bottle and filter it right...

In doing my returns I couldn't find the hiker Pro on my receipt.. The lady checking me out was kinda dingy and not ringing up stuff and it was just a mess I think the filter didn't get rung up, so I...

Well I'm sure how much I want to spend. At this point I am definitely going over the $700 max that one other person thought I should spend. I did take a lot of stuff back to Sporsmans Warehouse. I...

Ok Scott are you saying skip the Kelty sleeping bag and maybe go for a Marmot instead? I've also been looking at tents and again the guy showed me a Kelty Salida 2. Do you think Kelty is bottom of...

Looks like there is a change of plans. I went to Spots Limited today. The guy suggested hiking the Pacific Crest Trail because it's a nice hike and right here where I live. Has anyone ever hiked this...

I just bought the Kelty Red Cloud 80 - Women's Backpack. I'm being told it's too heavy (it weights 6 lbs) but I like it. Here is the link at Amazon...

Yes sorry for the mistype. Would that work if I went in say September? I'm thinking of starting in VA, but not sure yet.

I heard that those purifier tablets make the water taste nasty, or is that the iodine ones? The only reason I wanted the shovel was in case I had to potty in between the shelters. I will definitely...

Well I wanted to leave soon, but I'm not sure not. That's another good question. I was told you really don't want to hike in the summer because it's too hot. I was thinking maybe Sept, but how cold...

Ok I bought 14 main packets of the mountain house food (entrees) and a few treats, Is it going to be ridiculous trying to carry that many containers of food? I know they don't weight a lot and I have...
