The Thermarest coupler can also be used on other sleepeing pads. My wife and I use one with our Big Agnes air mattresses. A bit tight, but it works.

Quaker Cheddar Cheese Rice Cakes are about 140 calories per ounce (70 calories per 15 grams). In my mind that's reasonably calorie dense. We look for food that runs about 100 calories per ounce...
It depends on your definition of near, but there are campsites in Sky Meadows State Park. I think the blue blaze trail from the AT to the camping areas was about two miles with major elevation...
It's been my experience that the temperature ratings of most liners are pretty optimistic. If you really think you need a zero degree bag I wouldn't count on a liner making it into one YMMV.
The "official" average low in October is 39*. I'd take that with a grain of salt and be prepared for for mid-teens. If the leaves are turning the park will be very crowded on the weekends, but...
Try looking for an air drying Plastisol. Like mentioned earlier, it's used for dipping tool handles in. I used to use it as an electrician to insulate screwdrivers and pliers and the like. You may be...
SNP in 11 days should be no problem, mileage per day wise. The problem is the spacing of the shelters, they don't average 10 miles apart. The terrain the AT follows through Shenandoah is pretty easy,...
I use an MSR Dromedary 4 liter bladder the same way. The Nalgene combination is marginally lighter, but a quart less than the MSR. They work great for my wife and I. We just fill them with as much...
As mentioned above, that tent is major overkill. If you want to try a tarp, look at the suggestions already given. If you're dead set on a tent you can still cut the weight in half and save quite a...
It does really well, in my experience. It works (as do many deodorants) by killing the bacteria that cause the stank. If you google "deodorant rock" or "deodorant crystal" you can also find it...
Ditto. My wife and I regularly use our Trangia burner in the low teens. Getting the stove started takes longer, yes, but I haven't been able to measure an appreciable difference in alcohol consumed...
I think it depends on who you ask and their interpretation. Most of Virginia is WAY below averages for rainfall. I think it is only a matter of time before a drought is "officially" declared by...
The poorest quality goose down is 550-600 cubic inches/ounce and can go as high as 750-800 for the very best. The highest quality duck down is around 300 cubic inches/ounce.
Making drinkable water from saltwater is generally only going to get you enough for bare survival. Reverse osmosis devices requires very high pressures to operate, hence the very low output from...
On any down filled sleeping bad, quilt or garment you need to have some way of keeping the down in place or it's all going to fall to the low points and you end up with nothing but the inner liner...
What is your source for this little gem of information? According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Nutrient Database has had eighteen updates since 1980. Foods are tested...
Just my personal opinions...
I would count on the liner adding 5-10 degrees giving you a 20-25 degree bag. Starting mid-March you can count on temps, at least part of the time, in the low 20's....
My wife and I spent the night at Bearfence Mt. hut in late November. The spring there normally has a fairly robust and reliable flow, but it wasn't moving too swiftly when we were there. The weather...

Those are two I know of that may be what you're thinking about.
Just my two cents worth, but personally I'd take the non-insulated Air Core and a thin closed cell pad. It's two ounces lighter than the insulated one and the thickness of the material makes me feel...
My wife and I have the Sea-To-Summit thermolite liners and they are great, but I'd rate them at closer to 5-10 degrees additional warmth vice the 15 they advertise.
I've never heard anything good...
The -50 degree bag is listed on other sites as being 5.2 pounds. With 4 pounds of fill that sounds about right.
Mont Bell may be using something similar to the European EN 13537 standards for sleeping bag temperature ratings.
The upper limit is based on a "standard" man as the highest temperature without...
Personally, I think I would be cold. I don't have experience with the Micro Puff jacket, but similar ones of the same weight and insulation have been mariginal at 15 degrees just sitting around. For...
I wouldn't count on a lot of warming up going on in that particular tent, either from body heat or a candle. You've got 52" of headroom in there so whatever warmth is generated in going to rise...
