just out of curiosity, what did you use for a trekking pole length? Atfer reading this thread yesterday I went home and set mine up just for practice and setup using a 120cm length and struggled...

I'm in the market for a backcountry pillow. Ive done the balled up clothing thing and that's fine when I'm in gram weenie mode but I'm looking for a comfortable pillow for those short weekend trips...

6'1" 260# active sleeper, I went with the Thermarest XTherm for a 3 season one pad solution. I have the large that's 25" wide, I forget how long. I believe is around 20oz and I got it for under...

One more thing to keep in mind, when you breakdown let out all the tension adjustment out of the line adjusters. that way you have the full range next time you setup.

The latest version comes with tie outs.

I'm with you on this one. why would you go into the woods with out a knife? I work in an office and wouldn't think of leaving the house without one I believe there are 3 things every man (or...

I'm sure they will clean up during ski season.

Take some Benadryl, you'll be fine ;)

I need to correct my earlier post. It looks like the website has been updated making trail changes much easier to locate.

Has anyone found a reusable ziploc alternative? I'm looking for a way to cut down on the number of Ziplocs I use for my trips.

Sounds awesome JJ! I wish you and your wife great success! Sounds like you've done your homework. I'm only an hour south of you. I'll make it a point to stop by and check things out. I grew up...

I know they recently reopened the original Dry River section that was closed due to storm damage for quite awhile. The latest trip reports on that section indicate a few blow downs....

thats some gear. Makes me wonder what you kept for your setup.

Every time I haul my D700 into the mountains I swear its the last time but then I get home and look at my images and decide its worth it. Compare them to my cell phone shots and its night and...

Looks interesting. I didn't see any pricing though (other that the $5 a night for dogs)

I'm a fan of the Perch. great water close by. a little off course for a thru.

I doubt you'll have any issues with your method. Its not like you're soaking it right? are you flushing with fresh water after you use your super secret sauce?

I also own this filter. I've heard the horror stories about the filters and hesitated to pick one up. I've never had any serious issues with my filter but I stay right on top of maintenance. If...

this is my favorite quote

I have mixed feelings about this subject. I'm all for supporting the F&G for their efforts. I'm opposed to giving a government agency another revenue stream to be redirected a and increased at...

I can tell you that NH F&G along with some very well trained SAR teams pull a lot of idiots out of the woods in NH without ever charging them. For someone to be billed you have to really be a...

I was using a Granite Gear Leopard 58. I just took a piece of para cord and made a loop and hang it around the end of the trekking pole and used a small beaner to clip it. the weight was never an...

Sorry I cant give you feedback on both but I can tell you the Notch is a lot of tent for the weight. It took a few times for me to get it dialed in but now I can set it up pretty quick and I have...

I'm down with this. I'll add it to my NH backpacking gear swap. With the huge increase in the number of people escaping into the woods its time to help the newbies figure this stuff out. Pay it...

Yes I did. This thing is ridiculously light! It packs down to nothing as well. The workmanship is excellent. I'm really glad I went with EE's recommendation for the Xwide. They were right. ...
