I second Picasa, the map feature that lets visitors see where your pics were taken tips the scale for me.
Well, yes I would consider everyday use on the AT normal use.
I have done a lot of southern sections, I don't consider the AT to be either rugged or challenging based on my experience, maybe the...
HAHa, I closed a tab I guess, wrong thread.
My bad.
I second Picasso, the map feature that lets people see where the pic was taken really tips the scale for me.
You should be fine with either kind under normal use, just like any other piece of gear.
I will stay on topic.
Here is an article that discusses this topic, it has a good bit of facts and figures as well....
I carry on fishing bushwacks, I have a concealed pocket on my pack that allows me to draw while hiking, and yes you can carry a large gun easily in your shorts with the right holster.
I carry a...
mudhead,
$20.00 will get you a nice base plate compass.
I personally prefer Suunto because Silvas' quality has been hit and miss lately.
Suunto makes the Silva Ranger and quality is good, but...
diethylene, had to fix my spelling
Diethelene glycol can be used a lot more than just boiling water.
The military is also very multi purpose
Yes your housing, or bezel, should be a fairly tight fit.
It should not move around on its own.
I would just get another compass, they don't cost much to replace.
I have three alcohol stoves, a bushbuddy, a homemade wood gas stove, a whisperlite, and a primus.
In really cold windy weather the PRESSURIZED white gas performs best!
You guys are just...
Put a fan in front of it, turn it on high, and tell me how well it works then,
that's a stupid test, not relevant to real conditions.
The Whisperlite, or SVEA, or Primus, will melt more snow,...
Mudhead, check this out.

I guess the term cold is subjective.
Maybe some people call cold anything below freezing. I consider cold, high elevation temps. at or below 0*F. This would also include windy to gusty conditions if...
Yeah, poor choice of words on my part I guess.
I should have said: There is much debate on whether or not the law is constitutional.
I am not however taking sides, I'm just aware of the debate. It...
I would suggest a hang glider, but it would probably get hung up on the trail.:D
Sorry, couldn't resist, I had a mental picture of it reading the thread title.
Mags, thanks for those links.
I have been on only 4 cold, high elevation trips, so no expert here on mountaineering.
On my first trip, I was told by the team leader, Chris, to go put my alcohol...
Thanks,
Hmmm...more than I want to know, I felt that way all through school!:rolleyes:
Again, thanks for the link.
I think everyone will find a way to travel & sleep that is right for them.
You just have to spend some time in the woods to fine tune your system, and we all come up with different ways of doing...
Uhhhmm, ....The guys I hang out with in very cold, high elevation trips do not like alcohol, it performs lousy, at best, under those circumstances. Again that was part of the OPs' criteria for stove...
I second that.
I often use a bivy, with a small parafly as a little shelter for me and my gear.
I haven't used that bivy, but eVent is cutting edge, and most people I know say it can not be beat for breathe ability.
I am getting ready to replace my winter shell with a shell from Integral...
hperry, WB is the wrong place to get that info.
Not that some here can't tell you, or that they don't know, but it is not a credible place to get such important info.
You will have to check the...
Alcohol is definitely an option for traveling, grain alcohol is easy to get in most places.
From my own experience though, alcohol does not do well in cold, high elevation destinations, & canisters...
