Recently used the Z Trails for a water crossing, followed by a few hundred yards of hiking to a waterfall, then back through the water crossing.
Aside from a little casual wear, use as camp shoes,...

Reading that was like listening in on a word association game where they give half a dozen clues for "chronically elevated cortisol".

For anyone who doesn't get their email, and like me, might have been pushing it for a weeks' food load in a 37L pack, there is now a 60L version with 47L pack body.

We may set some kind of record, then, 'cause I'm going right by a PO in about 45 minutes! :D

Well, that was quick...
All yours!

Forgot this, but the Z Trail is now the Z Trail EV, though some sizes of the original are still available on clearance.
The tread has been updated to a more aggressive pattern, which is a plus,...

Bathtub floors are great. Mine are both from ZPacks, and my "tarps" are both 'mids with corners to attach them to, but you can get standalone floors with corner struts from MLD, and at least one...

I just came back from doing some hiking in Utah, plus a dash up to Fruita, CO to see the Rattlesnake Arches. My toes were not happy after a few days of doing lots of off camber hiking and steep...

About 6 weeks ago, I had to do a shallow river crossing in AL's Sipsey Wilderness. Though temps were in the 30s, the trails there are much gentler than my usual haunts on the Cumberland Plateau, so I...

FYI, Katabatic Gear has the Bristlecone back on their site(now with Robic floor material, and a hang loop at the foot end), plus a new bivy, the Pinon, with larger mesh window....

Patagonia Nano Puff pants, used 1x.

Forge Grey. Size Medium. They cite 31-33", but these are a generous fit, made...

I've not owned one of ZPack's backpacks, but have their multipack, which I use as a chest pack, in both the hybrid DCF and gridstop. Both have been worn outside my raingear in torrential showers and...

Bring on the feedback, maybe I'll give in!
The Robic version literally looks perfect to me(every single feature I want, nothing I don't), and is the only pack I'm remotely interested in as a...

I hiked from 19E to Carver's Gap with a friend last winter. We had some snow at the time, but not much. It was between Overmountain and Carver's Gap that we needed microspikes, as you're hiking in a...

Nice.


Huh. I was going to hike Hangover Mtn on 12/1 as my first stop on a road trip, but that snow screwed up the roads around there, and I skipped it.
If this keeps up, our paths could cross...

Is 4oz the size?
What kind of backpacking helmet do you have?
Do you wear it all the time, or just around camp, and in your tent?


I used to be an "expert". Haven't really followed the...

Strange way to describe an extremely heavy, bulky, underpowered, 1xCR123A headlamp. Unless you meant the Maximus, which is even bigger and heavier.
The Minimus really is a well-built light, but it's...

^^^Agreed.

As a former "flashaholic", I'm not a fan of NiteCore as a brand, but a friend sent me a NU25 a while back. I've carried it to "test", and used it for night hiking a couple of times,...

Forgot that I had bought a 3L eVent jacket from Eddie Bauer a year or two ago, but returned it due to not liking the helmet-compatible hood(that was like this > when cinched down).
When I Googled...

There's no hurry, that's for sure. Looked the same this November as last December.
It's a strange spot for me. I normally don't care to see manmade anything when hiking, but somehow it just looks...

Westcomb has a few, but they're more heavy duty stuff with emphasis on heavy. Even their "lightweight" Focus LT lists at 17oz.

Those MLD rain mitts are pretty great for that, with some thin gloves or liners under them. My main concern, and the reason I use them sparingly, is that, being just a thin shell equivalent to a...
