Not trying to be harsh, just bring up a point, particularly from the perspective of someone in the field. I'm glad you walked away from it with something.

OP, I think your the one with unreasonable expectations. 911 is an emergency line, for real emergencies. What you were experiencing was an "inconvenience." If you were hurt too bad to pack out then...

I hate both. So most of the time I don't wear either anymore. I'd say if I had to pick though I'd probably go back to glasses. My vision isn't that bad so I get by fine without anything.

One of my favorite places I've stayed in the park so far. I would def look into getting something like a six liter Platty bladder though as the water source is about half a mile round trip down the...

If I was hiking on a glacier or in the desert I would but short of that I don't and I've never had a problem when it comes to getting sunburnt. I'm a little hesitant of the goops though, I've heard...

Wide open initially to get water boiling and then if your cooking pasta or whatever, just open enough to keep a rolling boil. Also as Venchka said, you can put the pasta in the cold water. I do that...

This is true. I thought I was crazy at first but my Snowpeak stove will boil water faster and last longer using Snowpeak canisters. I noticed this when I first bought my Snowpeak stove, it obviously...

I make sure my stove is shielded from the wind and I also make damn sure I don't run the stove any longer than I have to. Before I turn the stove on I make sure I have all my water measured and food...

I respectfully disagree Bird Brain. There are such things as stupid questions and I've asked them. Pappa Splitter used to say "you ask a stupid question you get a stupid answer." Which consequently...

I don't think your being harsh. We all start out somewhere and I get that. But there is such a thing as a dumb question. When people are asking questions like "what do I do if I get cold?" Or "should...

Who gives a damn if they're dorky. I thought they were for old women and tourists at first until I saw someone I respected used it them and tried them. They're not for me and don't fit my style but I...

I accidentally hit post. I think it will decline for the masses. I think a lot of new people believe that ultralight is as simple as going out and buying really expensive gear when it's more about...

I think things tend to go full circle and while I don't think it's just a phase, I think its popularity will soon decline. I think a lot of people

The Splitter hikes regardless of temperature.

Out of curiosity why not Bark River as a first choice? Because they look so great shiny? This is my first barkie but definitely not last. I think my next one will be a stainless model that will...

Probably about 15L. If I put my 28-300 on it saves a little length. If I don't end up switching over to Canon I may consider buying a 24-85 to save weight and length. I've also considered buying some...

I've learned a ton from this site and while i don't always agree with everything everyone says, it's still valuable information that forces me to think and consider, which is one reason I've learned...

I took my D700 and 24-70 into the woods ONCE. It's too heavy and cumbersome for my style of hiking and takes up way too much space in my pack; which is a shame because there is definitely no...

I often carry a Nikon D3100 when hiking or a Canon 60D. I would consider it a great small, lightweight DSLR (the D3100, the 60D is large) I don't know what the D3100 weighs but it's a hell of a lot...

Also, something I forgot.. I would carry a two person shelter regardless. Even when I hike solo I still carry the same two person tent, I would also both carry a stove. In fact, when I hike with a...

Does anyone have any experience with these in a mid cut hiking boot? The insoles in my Lowa Renegades GTX are past shot and need replacing bad. I have flat feet and I was settled on the Superfeet...

I share when I'm with my girlfriend but if I go with another guy friend friend I'm sleeping solo. I know girls are different about that kind of stuff but I would just rather sleep alone when not with...

I have an MSR Hyperflow and love it, I would definitely buy one again.

I agree that attention is good, especially in this day in age when were developing every last acre of land, however, I would compare your statement that any kind of attention is good to business. As...
