Thanks for the replies everyone. For some reason, the responses were not being emailed to me. I don't check the forum often and it was a surprise to see them.
I appreciate the info.
Alligator,
Sorry, I guess my question wasn't very clear. I'm trying to establish the coldest temps one could get by using an air mattress only, not foam or inflatable pad such as a thermarest.
...
Roughly, at what air temps do you feel the need to have more insulation (ie, foam pad or thermarest) between you and the ground?
I know there are many varibles. I'm just trying to get a general...
As I understand, they are out of business. However, this thing looks kind of interesting. Anyone in the know?

....is my Feathered Friends Rock Wren sleeping bag. It's 1.75 lbs and doubles as a parka of sorts. It ventalates very well, has kept me comfy in freezing temps and is just generally a very versitile...
Do you folks ever notice your food having a smoky taste after cooking on a wood stove or over an open fire? My filter malfunctioned on a trip two yrs ago so I boiled my water over an open fire. The...
I have seen enough reference of the Kelly Kettle to pique my curiosity yet not a whole lot of description or weights.
From what I understand, a fire is built inside a hollow double walled...
Sitting here two days out of knee surgery has me thinking a poll of sorts regarding first aid kits. What do you all think, besides knowledge, is the most important must haves for a minimalist kit?...
DavidR,
Have you experienced any problems with the Night Light pad from Gossamer Gear?
I have the Mt Washington pad and while I was very impressed with it initially, the top of the egg crate...
I very briefly tried on a Highlite last year & though I remember thinking I wouldn't want to be any taller for it (I'm 6', 165 lbs), I figured the 6' model would suffice should I decide to purchase...
Thanks guys. I appreciate it.

If I remember correctly, the thread I'm thinking of was fairly long. I did several searches but came up empty handed. Did anyone by chance save the link?
Thanks.
I tore mine in June 03. Didn't get it diagnosed until yesterday though.
Dr said it might be repairable but probably not. If it is, it'll take 6 months to heal, 6 wks of which I'll be on crutches....
I came up with another idea with just a glance at some of those packs. Thanks again.
In making my own ultralight external frame pack, I have some ideas of how I want the hip belt & shoulder straps but, would like to see what other people have built. Anyone know of where I might be...
Dances with Mice,
I just assumed you weren't familiar with the things in denatured alcohol as you asked, "Which toxins are you attempting to abstain from"?
"How would I rank the other fuels...

As far as keeping things from rattling, I do what the others do.
To keep the pots together, I currently place them inside a mesh bag. No-see-um netting makes a really light bag. In the past, I...
I made a YACC stove but have not been able to achieve the wonderful results others have had. It's been a while since I tested it & I didn't take written notes. However, what I do remember is that the...
Gardernville,
"What type of sleeping bag do you have?" I don't have it just yet but I'm seriously leaning towards the WM Linelite. The reason: it's the closest thing I can find to my FF Rock...
Gardenville,
In rereading my post, I realize some pretty silly questions were asked. That's what happens when I post in haste.
Anyhow, if you didn't gather from my barrage of questions ...
Thanks a bunch for the info everyone.
And Howie, your idea of using 0.9oz/yrd fabric piqued my curiousity. I looked at that link and assume you're referring to the 0.8 oz Downproof Ultralite...
Thanks for the links & info everyone.
I have a question though. Which is warmer, synthetic silk or natural silk? Also, which is the lighter of the two? I haven't been able to locate that info...
Thanks for the very informative link & work SGT Rock.
