I agree with and have seen much of what you say, but you might be overlooking a important point for some of us. Maybe we are HAPPY to be ALIVE and honoring friends we had that did not come home alive...
HAPPY VETERANS DAY

Just leave out the Ramen flavor pack and you cut the salt content

I will try this maybe with some different flavors just for...

Why would you go from a zero degree bag to a 25 degree bag for "winter"
hiking ?
I would imagine the clothes you would have to carry and use to make up
for the difference in sleeping bag...
I learned the hard way that the "wrong fit" for me footwear can and did
end my hike. Blisters and Type II diabetes don't mix well.
Wish I had know about REI some years back !

Thanks folks and keep em coming.
I carry a Go lite breeze and couldn't make my Tilly full brim work without it

I found that getting the gear sorted out to my needs then finding the correct
pack for the gear and me was better than getting the pack then the gear.
Would you please provide the link that shows the other info and has the

I have the WM Lite Flite Jacket(Down) and its great, but if my oldest son can
find his the Northface Down Vest we are going to try a trade for a while.
I have found you have to be real careful...
You didn't listen to your big brother. I am going to suggest he kick your butt !
Then he should go help you put the non returners on a spit and roast them.
Tangy bar-b-que some for me...

I wish we had weighed some of the stuff we made when I was with the 82nd

know what it means. We do know it usually means someones getting over on
us though !!

four days. Is this forum now limited to four day hikers only ?
I have worked hard and put a lot of effort...
Mind telling me what you use for shelter, sleeping, etc. ? Are you carrying
