Yes, the length is regular, fitting up to 6'0''.
Bump and price reduction.
Feathered Friends Raven with black eVent shell and black lining with 2 oz overfill, regular length. Purchased in 2008 and used only 5-10 times. Always used in a tent and with clean sleeping clothes...
I've really enjoyed the Liberator convertible pant by Kuhl, so much so that I bought a second pair after using them on just one trip. The fabric is super soft and comfortable; there is plenty of room...
Colter, clearly your memory is better than mine. Now that you've reminded me, I do vaguely recall exchanging PMs and asking some questions about your Alaska trek, but it never crossed my mind while...
Thanks for sharing. I had not heard of anyone doing this route before. As an aside, I believe we may have met on your 2010 PCT hike. I think I gave you a ride in the Lake Tahoe area. When learning of...
When I was researching this same subject a few years back, it seemed that there was more versatility and options with the Yakima system as opposed to Thule. If you go to their website they have a...
Generous to a fault. A selfless individual. He provided me with some of the best trail magic of my '97 MEGA hike. Horrible news.
I cut the top of a Platy, leaving enough length to give two or three folds to form a good seal. It stands up on it's own and their are now worries about leaks.
I just finished a JMT thru-hike a week ago and there was plenty of water. The longest dry stretch I noticed was only around 6 miles.
There are two concerns: Compliance with regulations requiring the use of a bear canister and keeping your food (and yourself) safe from bears.
It would be difficult for a ranger to cite you for...
I just finished hiking the JMT last Thursday. My "on trail costs" came to under $250. I'm defining "on trail cost" as the fee for mailing resupplies to Muir Trail Ranch and Red's Meadow Resort,...
Has anyone who has hiked the northern JMT ever had their permit checked between Happy Isle and Little Yosemite Valley? Is the ranger at Little Yosemite Valley very active in checking permits?
I neglected to add the location of the Wichita Mtns Nat'l Wildlife Refuge-- southwestern Oklahoma.
According to the NPS website, the average temperature in Big Bend for the month of May is 88/daytime and 59/night. They claim the Chisos mountains, which approach 8,000 ft, are 5-10 degrees cooler...
I started MEGA on June 13. I spent the 4th in Rangeley, Maine. I had a zero in Monson and slowed up to hit Rangeley on the 4th. A great place to spend the holiday.
I made a nearly exhaustive search for a pack for my girlfriend. I even mail-ordered some packs, knowing that I may return them, but wanting to get a firsthand look. Oddly, I didn't come across the...
My girlfriend was that same height and didn't weigh more than 5 pounds more. I looked at numerous womens-specific models. Once I discovered the Deuter ACT-Lite SL series, all others paled in...
I recently purchased the Montbell Exteme Light Down Jacket. At less than 6 oz it is insanely light and I thought it was significantly warmer than my Montbell Thermawrap. Treefingers makes a good...
It sounds like you're looking for some nice stops along the way and not trailheads for multi-day pack trips.
If so than Moon-Dipper hot-springs is a beautiful spot that is not too far out of the...
I did exactly what you are planning to do. My thru was from June 13 - November 13. I only had one bag at the time and it was 10 F. There were some nights through Maine and New Hampshire where I...
Sustainability and LNT.
It seems that they are both applications of the same principle and distinguished only by the specific definitions we have ascribed to them. Each deserves emphasis. Each...
Exactly. All too true. I have never had a map, compass and GPS and still had the struggle with route finding that I did in the Copper Canyon Area of Chihuahua.
If you have good map and compass skills, as you say, then you can eliminate what would be the primary concern. Dogwood gave sage advice when he suggested getting the 7.5 minute maps as well as...
Prior to putting in at the beginning of a 2,200 mile, 2.5 month long canoeing trip in Canada a bystander wished us well by saying, "I hope the weather holds." While the weather may hold for a weekend...
