I think it's an obvious choice. Thanks everyone!!

I'm surprised no one has sad stay at Roan High Knob Shelter. I recall staying at the shelter on Mt Rogers and loved it. I'm guessing it's not an elevation thing. Sounds like there is NO view and the...

I'm section hiking next month and would like to get some opinions on what people's thoughts are on Roan High Knob Shelter vs Overmountain Shelter. I can reach either on the same day of my trip. Which...

I'm going to add my two cents to this conversation. In July, I hiked SOBO for the first time in my section hiking career because of my delay in getting to my rendezvous point with my shuttle driver....

I know I'm late to the party, but if you haven't purchased your pack yet, avoid the Flash series from REI. I own a Flash 65, which won so many accolades, but has fallen apart after 250-ish miles on...

I ended up getting the GoLite Shangra-La 1. After I ordered it I wished I had gone with the Scout. I'll likely order some of their stakes, though, because they are super light. I'm glad I didn't get...

I'm glad you mentioned the locking style of poles. I use an older style of Leki twist locking poles that so far haven't slipped much, but I also rarely adjust them. I'll have to keep this in mind...

Those are good points. I would like to make it to the insanely light tarptents, etc., but the cost is too much at this point. GoLite is selling their Shangri-La-1 for about $137 during its 50% off...

I'm trying to decide on a new tent. On one hand there is a lightweight one-man tent that is free-standing and weighs 2lb 11oz (L.L. Bean) and another that uses trekking poles to set up and weighs...

Hey everyone! I'm ready to get out of this cubicle and do some hiking. I'm currently planning my annual section hike. This is my fourth section hike. I've been skipping around a little bit down...

This is kind of a general question. What new gear inventions or changes to existing gear would you like to see all these companies make in 2012? I would like to see a backpack that carries itself,...

I saw the Shangri-La 1 and the related nest are amazingly on sale. Has anyone ever used the Shangri-La 1? I've been using the Kelty Teton 2 for a number of years now and it has been just fine, but...

Hi Lazarus! Thanks for the input. I agree; we need to do what we can to make it as light as possible, yet durable. The spork feature is kind of an after thought. We hoped to offer a good way to...

FWB, thanks for posting! I agree that the concept is similar to the MicroGripper from GSI. I love GSI products and have a great deal of respect for what they do.

We hope to offer an...

My company is working on making a pot gripper made of neoprene that hikers can use with their handle-less pots on the A.T. It is small and fits over your first two fingers and allows you to pinch...
