I really like the idea of the quilt but I was wondering about the performance.


Currently I carry a marmot pounder in the summer and a marmot pounder plus in fall and spring. I am alergic to...

Not the cheapest camera out there but the Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-P200 is a great little camera. Not a lot of optical zoom but at 7.2MP it makes cropping pics easy. To conserve space on the memory stick...

I had an awesome experience with Big Agnes. I bought their Horse Theif down bag and after a trip realized I am alergic to down. A lot of small companaies will require you to pick something else out...

Pretty sure. When I got home I spent another night in the bag and had the same problem.

:(

Cool, thanks for the suggestions. I should have said this in my first post but the reason I am looking for synthetic is after a weekend of itching and no sleep in a big agnes horse theif I think I...

Hello all,
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good, light 20 degree synthetic sleeping bag?

Weight matters to me but I would carry a little more weight for a full zip.


Any...

"Humping along just under 85 pounds (38 kg) of weight in the backpack can produce up to 7 watts of electricity, Lawrence Rome and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania report."

Sounds like...

Mini-Mosey,

Small world!!! Do you live in the area?

Looks like I may be a little ahead of you. I am hiking in SNP near Stoney Man MT. (Bearfence mountain hut and Rock Spring)

Damn shame too, I would gladly have hiked in whatever food you wanted...

I am hiking this weekend and if I am near the pack I plan on bringing extra goodies

Thanks,
Granger

excellent, thanks Mingo!

I am doing a quick overnight in SNP and need a little advice. I am putting in at the Bearfence parking lot and hiking North to Little Stoney Man parking lot. I think the total distance is about 17...

Keep us posted. I ordered one as well but we just had a baby so it will be some time before I get to use the bag in the field.

well, i finally saw the bag. It does have a full zip which is a HUGE plus for me as I would be using this in both a hammock and a tent. And the stuff sack seems oversized for the bag so it should...

Just to restate what has already been said a lot. Send a letter to Bruce Franks General Manager of Asolo USA. He is where the buck stops when it comes to Asolo in the US. Another option is to mail...

I just got off the phone with marmot, the rep I spoke to said that the bag is a full zip. Tramper, if you could let me know what you find I would appreciate it.

Thanks for the reply BB. Where did you find the zipper length? I wasn't able to find that. My intentions for this bag would be spring and fall. I am looking at this bag to replace a 35 degree...

Rock,

I deal with migraines as well. For the most part I have been lucky avoiding them while backpacking but the one time a major one hit was in the middle of SW VA and I had nothing with me to...

Ok, it took some digging but here is what I found.

Does anyone have any experience with this sleeping bag? All the stats seem to be in the right place with the possible exception being stuff size BUT I worry that this is an agressive attempt to get...

Hello all,
I have a Big Agnes Horse Theif 35 degree bag and insulated air core sleeping pad, sleeping in a 2 walled tent. My first trip out with this setup didn't go as well as I would have liked....

Just changed out my shelter:

pack: granite gear nimbus ozone 3lbs
shelter: Hennessey Ultralight Asym 2lbs 4ozs (was NF Tadpole, weight 4lbs 7ozs)
sleeping bag: big Agnes Horse Theif, 1 lb 8ozs...

I am happy with the tadpole 23, and like you I picked that tent based on the stuff size. After about my second trip with it I started putting the poles on the outside of the pack which made the stuff...

Here are a couple of suggestions, all are free standing and under 5 lbs

Sierra Designs Lightning Tent $250, 4lbs 9ozs packaged

Thanks for the tip on the CCF, I'll stop and pick some up tonight.

Everything went well aside from the cold spots. (mostly my butt and small of my back) I was actually very warm aside from that....
