Not sure if those temps are hot enough. I would imagine it would depend on ambient temperature and the r value of your cozy. I have the toaks setup. I start with a full tab. Bring my water to almost...

Anybody with a Mariposa or Catalyst or Circuit looking to go to a smaller pack?

I think I'll pick up a compression sack and let him carry his quilts and hammock. Even with his rain gear, water, and jacket he should be under 7 lbs total.

If nothing pops up I might. I really don't want to be without a pack though.

This pack is a 2013 model with 5 nights and 1 day hike on it.

I have a ULA Ohm 2.0 that I would like to trade for a Catalyst. My Ohm is a medium with small hipbelt. It is in like new condition other than I replaced the factory back pad with a piece of ridgerest.

Let's just go off the assumption that we will be using the underquilts. I've done the pad thing. It's not happening. I guess another option would be a $25 craigslist external frame. I'm really...

I bought a ULA Ohm last year. I love the pack. But my son and I have switched to hammocks. He is 5, so he usually only carries his clothes, rain gear, water, and snacks. So now I need to carry 2...

Price reduced to $100.

We are both hammocking now. Although heavier and more fiddly, we both sleep better in the air.

I loved my solong 6. The awning is awesome. Plenty of room for yourself and a kid or dog. I spent many nights with my 5 year old boy in it. Even spent 2 nights with my dad. It was tight but doable. ...

I don't know the weight. I probably cut an ounce or so off of it. Also includes the stuff sack and repair kit.

Sold.


I have a Neoair Xlite Large, trimmed to 66". It sealed back perfectly, with no leaks after about a dozen nights. Looking to get $100 shipped, or trade for a partial length underquilt. I...

Switch out your pack. The ULA Ohm is nice, GG Gorillla maybe, Zpacks seems nice too. Get a nice 30* quilt. There is 2 lbs lost. You'll have to go cuben fiber or tarp and bivy to drop much weight...

Hard to go wrong with the Brooks Cascadia. I have the NB leadville 1210's and I love them as well.

I have a very high arch and haven't needed orthotics in my altras. But I started off very slowly. I do wear powerstep insoles in my work boots (60 hours a week on my feet in steel toed boots is...

They seem the same to me. I think they all have too much upper. I used to run the Saucony Kinvaras. Went through 4 pairs in 1000 miles. I absolutely loved the upper. Very minimal, super quick drying,...

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try on the Olympus as well. I've wore out one pair of Torins, and I've got about 300 miles in a pair of torin 1.5. I know a few guys locally who swear by Hokas, and the...

I haven't tried the Hoka's, but have been loving my Altras so much that I'm going to pick up a pair of Paradigms this weekend. Maximum cushion and that awesome altra toe box.

Is cooking and dehydrating at home out of the question?

You can also buy dehydrated red beans and rice by the pound from Packit Gourmet. Just mix a cup of each, add 1.5 cups boiling water, and...

Sounds like a great trip!

I cut down my xlite large to 68". It's very easy once you wrap your head around cutting up a $180 pad for the sake of a couple ounces. I'm still debating cutting it to torso length.

I make my own sun butter and almond butter. All you need is a good food processor and the roasted nut or seed of your choice. I like to add a little honey.

Have you tried any of the Probars? The...

Point 1: Yes, they focus on urban hipsters. But they sell quality outdoor gear at MSRP with the occasional sale. You want Patagonia, Marmot, North Face, etc, they have it all.
Point 2: They sell...

I learned the headlamp on chest/ handheld in the hand from trail runners as well and it works great. I think that method is the best for technical night hiking.
