Haven’t been on the site in a while. Doubt anyone is still interested, but flip my alchy stove upside down and use a tea light.

Not sure why, but this has been a fun thread to read. At my grandmothers house she always made up a batch of borax/sugar (3/1 ratio) soaked cotton balls. She'd place them around and it did a good job...

I’m sure it’s been mentioned somewhere else in the thread, but the MSR mug mate works well. Weighs about 1oz. Just bring a ziplock of your favorite coffee. Good option for weekend trips.

I love the idea of a tree shelf. I've made a couple of them and they seem to work well, but I've never taken them on a trip with me. Maybe when the family comes out with me again. I know the 20 or so...

Did it, works well. Comes with me when I'm expecting a lot of rain. Don't care for rain pants but wanted the jacket. I've got nicer jackets now, but I keep this one in the jeep. It never failed me in...

Cut the pants off just above the knee. Rip the crotch seam. Put them on, turn 90 degrees and you've got a decent rain kilt.

I've been testing a new setup, If you've seen folks in coffee shops using the pour over method for coffee, that's the direction I'm going. I didn't want to do anything overly complicated, so this is...

Off. Have never missed them.

Photos always help

When I used a regular headlamp, I always kept it on low.

I use the cyclops hat clip (10 lumens, 0.3oz) http://www.amazon.com/Cyclops-CYC-MHC-W-Micro-Mini-Light/dp/B001QCXTBI

I carry 2 of these...

I like it. Good versatile design. I bet the double coil design adds a lot of stability. I like it better than hardware cloth. I'm betting your windscreen tip at min 11 could also be used for a twig...

I've got one of these. Used backpacking/rock climbing across Germany and France. They were useful because you could get them at any gas station.

Bingo, go back and re-read this post. No challenge, no reward. Otherwise take her to a spa. For your brother, put an extra rock in his pack. :) good luck

Granite Gear Virga. 2yrs and lots of miles and I love it. You'll want to drop your base weight though. 30lbs is too much.
Love the look of the zimmerbuilt packs. Thoughtful designs and I love the...

Thanks, plane reading material.

I know you don't want to, but would love to see what a 2lb gear list looks like.

Just the typical yellow HEET

What's the syringe for? And what are Flisssure and Infernal? Two different cones?
One idea is to weigh the kettle lid independently and device if a piece of foil would suffice. On average I see a...

That's great. My kids are 7 and 10 and we were thinking about doing it as a family.

We're planning to do this as a thru west to east in the fall. Any challenges for doing it with hammocks?

Sounds like something I would say, loud enough so that all the folks who won't come within 10ft of me can hear. :)
