    Repairs

    One time in Canyonlands we got hit with probably the worst wind storm I've ever seen. The entire sky was red because of all the sand it kicked up. Luckily, we already had out tents set up and took...

    Mariposa

    I have both packs and definitely prefer the Mariposa. The Pinnacle is definitely a great pack but it's pretty spartan on features (I have the model before they added hip belt pockets). To me, the...

    Trekking Poles

    I use Gossamer Gear Light Trek 4 carbon poles exclusively and would never use anything else. Once you hold such a light pole in your hand, you will never want to go back to aluminum.

    Wise Old Owl,

    Tripod

    EXCELLENT design! The only thing I would add is silicone tubing sleeves one the legs just to give it a grippier surface so it can cling to things like the Joby Gorilla Pod.

    Thanks man! The truth is, if you knew how much I actually make off of each lid, you'd probably be shocked. After paying for the inventory, buying the shipping materials, addressing the packages,...

    Knife

    For general backpacking use, I prefer a folder with a belt clip. My favorite one now is the Spyderco Delica 4 (plain edge).

    One caveat. I washed my Tyvek ground cloth and it did soften it up. The only problem was that it became somewhat fibrous. When I picked it up from the forest floor, all kinds of debris clung to it...
