    Hmmmm....I've been 5 years with my ExPed UL7. Love it. No problems. Have the pillow, the pillow pump, and the schnozzle bag. All work great together.

    Almost bought a pair of their down pants at the store in Boulder before my hike this past week. Decided against it and regretted it when the temps started dropping. May still try and kick up a pair...

    I want absolute veto power over any silly (sometimes dangerous) decisions my group makes. For me that means being self-sufficient and carrying my own food, shelter, etc. Everything is light enough...

    I've used my Petzel Tikka with rechargeable Eneloops for 5-6 years now. I always bring an extra set of AAA batteries, but I've never needed them. For most in-camp tasks I keep the light on the lowest...

    I play Fantasy Football but I'm not planning a long hike anytime soon. If I was in a Fantasy Baseball league, however, I think I would try and recruit someone to manage my team while I was away. I...

    I have both the REI and EMS brand convertible pants. I like the EMS ones a little better except for the fact that the shortest inseam is 30" while the REI has a 28" inseam. Thus the REI fit a little...

    I have a few packs and have tried a few others but I can't say I have extensive experience with too many brands. My Gregory Palisade is a tank. Nearly 7 lbs. when I first started backpacking we did...

    I live my Dueter ACT Lite 65+10. I carried ~35 lbs in it last year and it felt great the whole time. Swallowed my BearVault 500 and everything else I needed. I broke the little plastic buckle the...

    I seriously considered the Savant 58 when I needed a new pack for my trip last year. Unfortunately I also need to accommodate a bear can which is ultimately what drove me to my final choice, a Deuter...

    Seconded. I have this pack and love it—comfortable at 41 lbs and easy to pack. Upgraded from a Gregory Palisade that is way too much bag for my current needs. Gregory makes great kit, however.

    Feathered Friends Osprey for me. Looked at Marmot, WM and Feathered Friends and went with the Feathered Friends due to a combination of cost, reputation, made in America, and fit. Probably would have...

    That looks like a great tent. I'm very interested in the Velocity 1 for my next trip (not a thru hike). I like the fact that it is freestanding and at 5'7" I should be alright with the dimensions....

    Those who can't hike… shop.

    My next trip isn't til September—other than car camping with the family. So, my credit card has been getting abused with senseless and somewhat sensible gear...

    One of the great things about hammocks are their modular nature. You can mix and match components (suspension / tarp / netting, etc) to fit your needs (comfort / weight / temperature, etc) and...

    I use both as well. I fill my 3L bladder (CamelBak) with ~2L and fill a 1L Gatorade bottle ~ .5L for when the bladder runs dry. I alter the amounts in both depending on the distance. This way, I plan...

    I just got both my girls (6.5 & 8.5) REI Super Nova packs on clearance. They want to look like Daddy and have their own packs and carry their own water. So far they are very happy with them. We...

    I have a couple Stoic items and found the fit is very hit-or-miss. One long sleeve shirt came with crazy monkey length arms that were ridiculous—unless you were 6'7" and 150 lbs. Others fit great,...

    I was at the West Hartford, CT REI.

    Agreed. The discounts are worth the weight (and a great service for REI members). It just felt like it had more of a Black Friday, grab everything you can...

    Got a Kuhl hoodie for $20. Couldn't find any defects and the girl at the register raved about it.

    Overall, it was a madhouse, though. Not sure if I'll go to another one.

    Thermarest trekker chair. 4 years old. Never been used. After buying it I couldn't bring myself to take my very-important-for-a-good-night's-sleep inflatable pad next to a camp fire and sit on it.

    Chuch, I read a few reviews that said the same thing about the Atmos. Not everyone felt that, but there were enough to cause some concern. I didn't want to discover I felt it...

    I think I might do that. Post my gear list, that is. Clothing is definitely the one thing I struggle most with. Mostly because our trip is usually Sept/Oct with temps around 70° day and 30° night. We...

    Thanks FF503. Over the last few years I've replaced all of my bulky gear with lightweight compressible items. I'm about as small (volume wise as I can go right now—keeping in mind the necessary bear...
