Thanks for the reply, GoldenBear. Since some of the nps.gov info is outdated, we called the park and they assured us that if we have a permit, we will have a place to leave our car...and that we can...

My husband and I are hiking the JMT in summer 2016 and are wanting to drive ourselves. I know there is long-term parking in Yosemite but can't find much information on it. Has anyone left a car there...

I'm planning a section hike this summer and I can't remember what the parking is like in Erwin. Will I be able to leave a vehicle there for about a week?

Okay another issue came up...I tested the Moment out last weekend and the condensation froze on the inside of the tent. When I went to pack it up in the morning, the ice of course clumped up into...

Well, my weekend seam sealing project was a success! (Or at least an unapparent failure) No major incidents...plus I honed my painting skills. :)

Thanks for all of your help, everyone!

But to improve the man."

Love, love, love this. Great writing all around!

Thanks everyone. That video was helpful, Red Beard!

It is necessary to seal the inside of the seams as well as the outside? So I put some on the inside on the floor? There is the one seam running...

I just got my Tarptent Moment today and I've been drooling over it since I ripped open the box. I have a few questions though:

1) How much does the Tyvek groundsheet for it weigh? I can't find...

Resurrecting an old thread with a silly question...where can I buy paracord (not online)?

Blissful, what kind of fleece pant?

I have a 15 degree down bag and sleep kinda cold.

Camping Dave, no I have not done much cold weather camping...what I have done has been car camping so weight and space were not an issue. I'm...

I'm planning a Nobo thru starting mid March and I don't know what clothing to get to wear in camp and for sleeping. Will the Patagonia Cap 3 baselayers be warm enough (I've got a synthetic puffy for...

Thanks for all the input. The POE is lighter so I'm leaning toward that. What about the Thermarest Neo Air? How is it for warmth (and durability)?

If Whiteblaze had a "Like" button I would totally use it here. Too bad I orderded the Micro Puff though. :) I'm erring on the side of caution I suppose.

I need a sleeping pad for my mid-March thru...I've been looking at the Pacific Outdoor Equipment Women's Peak Oyl Lite, but I'm afraid it won't be enough insulation..? The Web site says the R-value...

Anybody know of a good (and free) Android app where you can download the NIV version and read it when you're "offline"/don't have service?

Thanks for the info everyone. Sounds like I'm starting in May and yelling "nanooopuffff!" as I walk down the trail. :) Kidding.

Bigcranky, how compressible is the Micro Puff?

I'm planning a thru starting mid-March and can't decide between the Patagonia Micro Puff and Nano Puff jackets. Will the Nano Puff be enough insulation for around camp over a mid weight base layer?...

Thanks for all the replies..very helpful!



I checked out the Caldera Cone...looks like a neat little system. The windscreen fits into your pot as well? I want something that will pack...

I was planning to use a canister stove for my '11 thru but have started looking into alcohol stoves. I've never used one before...is there anything specific I should keep in mind when purchasing one?...

I am new to alcohol stoves and I found the Trail Designs Caldera Keg-F. Does anyone have any experience with this? Pros? Cons?

So I'm planning to thru nobo starting in mid March. I currently have a (synthetic) Eureka Casper 15 and am seriously considering buying the women's version of this Sub Kilo. The Casper is too long,...

Stuff size says 7.5 x 15...how much does it compress or is this pretty accurate?

What about a ground sheet? Is it worth the weight?

Thanks for all the info! I think I'm going to go with the Moment since it's lighter.
