I’m looking for a place to park my vehicle in the Harpers Ferry Area from @ March 1, 2005 to April 23, 2005. I have 673 miles to go from Harpers Ferry to Mt Killington, VT to finish my thru hike of...

Fantastic he’s relativity ok. Hopefully now this thread will look and discuss in a possitive light of what was done, be it right or wrong and how he was able to survive. (As far as we know, this...

I hope, as I know the hundreds of others who visit this web site, that David makes it out ok and is back out hiking soon. If you’ve been reading posts on WB or for that matter any forum, then you...

I've been reading some interesting stuff on hanging the hammock between 2 trees and digging a trench so the hammock sits inside the trench. I'm not sure if it sits on the snow it's self or not.....

I'm a little confused. You want a thicker pad so that it melts the ice under you? I've heard this before about what type of pad to use on the snow and what to look for when you get up but no one...

I was hoping the Army might have changed as this was close to 35 years ago.



During my experiments this past 6 weeks I have done the no clothes to VBL with different layers on top of the VLB,...

I’ve been reading so much about how to stay warm in winter it’s driving me nuts. When I was in the army in Basic Training they told us to sleep naked in the mummy bags. It was @10 degrees and lower...

So are you saying that the only thing warm was your feet? Every other part of your body was freezing? I guess what I'm asking is how was your body core temp?

It's nice to have booties that you can at least go out of your shelter with, so a solid sole is a good idea IMO.


It's nice to have, but I wonder how much do they weight? What is the actual...

Beyond Backpacking & Rayway Tarp Book

By Ray Jardine

Peter Pan,

Thanks for the answers to my questions. He does clear up many of my concerns. You said that you've tested this overcover since April. The dew is my biggest concern. As you know I...

I saw this pic in the gallery:

It does not look like the same one on the Hennessy web site. Is this an all in one piece? I like the fact that...

Reading the info on JackRBetter site, I'm not quite sure about the setup. I think there is about 3 ways of using it during different times of the year. I take it that it can be used with the JRB...

I was thinking something about 11 feet. The tarp would be the same as Brain's MacCat, but just 11 feet long. I guess that I could wait for him to return and see how much he would charge me to make...

Yes, you're right. I for some reason have been thinking the thing was a foot longer.. Not sure how good a foot wider will be. I guess if you want to hang it higher. It seems that the 144x120...

Ya, there ain't nothing like listening to someone try and learn how to play a new instrument.

I've been in contact with Brian for over a week and his tarps are the best all the way around in design and quality. However, he's going to be gone until after the 1st of the year and I thought I...

I have the HH Explorer Ultralite A-Sym, which is 108 inches. While it is only 8 in longer then the Ultralite Backpacker A-Sym, the fly is the same size.
