Nevermind, I guess Golite stopped making the Shangri-La 2

I bought a Black Diamond Storm and love it. This is before I decided to do a thru-hike and cut all the weight of my gear though. I am still taking it with me because Ive already invested the $$$ and...

I am hearing a lot of mixed reviews. I think I am going to go for the one that I mentioned in my original email. Its a little pricey but I figure Ill use it at home as my standard charger when Im...
Those merrell trail gloves look sweet. I have a pair of Nike Frees which are kind of the same idea but not as intense. I would be worried how the trail gloves would stand up over an extended...
Well said. I have a summer job that is going to finance my thru hike in march if I dont find a real job by then. The more time I invest in researching this hike, the more I am hoping that I dont find...
