I have long awaited my day to sling a pack on my shoulders and set off into the woods. It has always been my intention to do a SOBO thru-hike of the AT, however that dream has come to past for now. I...

I'm pretty sure he created an account to defend his Kifaru :rolleyes: I'll be ticked if I end up with one...

I'm beginning to look at packs that are much better at transferring the weight to my...

I just got back from a gear-shakedown hike with a friend of mine. It was just a quick and easy hike in Southwestern NY, 27 miles split between two days (the trail was listed as "mostly flat" but it...

I finally took the plunge into the UL realm in the last few months and started reforming my pack, most recently it was purchasing a 20* Revelation X. The problem I'm having now is whether I should...

I have been taking aluminum cans and siding to my local metal scrap (I work as maintenance part time and they just throw it out) for a few months now. I don't want to sound like a complete noobie...

Thursday is payday, if I pick this up I'll be sure to do a full review if anyone is interested.

Has anyone had a chance to try out the Odin 50 Plus by Marmot? or heard any reviews for it?

It appears to be a really new pack, but looks like it'd be great for my needs but I don't want to drop...

Precisely why I posed this question. However, now that situations have changed, I plan to stick with my Trail Scout M. I wanted to get something with a higher R-Value, but if I want to do a thru-hike...

Will do! After reading your post, two main thoughts came to my mind:
1. My intention is to get into hammock-ing before I try for a thru-hike, so you will now be my go-to for hammock questions, such...

Does anyone use one of the Klymit Inertia pads? If you can even call it a pad I suppose, but I was looking into getting the torso length version, as it's only 6oz and is suppose to allow your...
