    I'm always torn between taking my ULA Conduit vs. GG Mariposa, or ULA Ohm vs. GG Gorilla. The Gorilla gets the most use. And it is possible to need a high volume pack and be lightweight, and that...

    I moved the same load from a 46, to a GG Mariposa Plus, to a Jam2. I thought the 46 was going to cut me in two. Most uncomfortable pack I've ever owned with 25#. Sold my 46 to finance a ULA Circuit,...

    Just make sure you get a WM that fits your shoulders, since they have several widths. Although I haven't used my Megalite since I got a quilt.

    Backpacking Light did an excellent test on various propane stoves and CO emissions. Snowpeak is your friend. The worst offender was what is argueably the most worshipped propane stove on this forum.

    Do a VO2 test, they'll tell you your max. From what I understand about max HR, it is trainable, unlike VO2. And I got a lot better on a bike by training in the right HR zone.

    Catalyst would be my choice, although I've never had 44# in mine. And I miss external frames. Jansport D3 or D5 with the wrap around arms on the frame. Those were awesome. Maybe they'll become the...

    I sold my Exos 58 (ouch!!!) to buy a Catalyst. Found the Catalyst to be so giant, I bought a Circuit. Haven't used the Catalyst since I bought the Circuit. Maybe if I was to go buy some bigger,...

    You can always spray it with that silicone spray you get at Walmart, that will stop the misting. Won't stop the condensation.

    A college degree in no way is the ultimate indicator of intelligence, it's all relative. History and anthropology? I took those to raise my GPA. I think there are a lot of people around who got extra...

    I put blue foam in mine, and it helped a lot. I have an older Jam2 which was really light. What really helps is to steal a real estate (or whatever) sign made of coroplast, and cut it to fit the...

    I thought it might be relevant because some people on here might think a NeoAir™ XTherm for $114, or a NeoAir™ XLite™ for $95, or a Jetboil Flash for $60 might be a pretty good deal.

    Oh yeah. Free...

    It's even more important to use an adequate pad with a quilt. I've used my GoLite Ultra down to 22, and stayed toasty. Used straps under the pad to stop drafts. Only works if you have a big enough...

    Long history of these bars, read sailing blogs. A lack of flavors is probably the biggest downfall. They used to have a lot of coconut oil.

    Oops, my bad. You'd have to buy 2 to get free shipping. So you could get 2 pads for about $15 more than 1 pad at REI, since REI has free shipping right now.
