How are cell phones invasive? Sometimes it's nice to get in touch with your family and girlfriend. Opponents argue that phones rob them of their "wilderness experience." I'd hardly call the...

Would spraying the fabric with a waterproof chemical (silicon maybe) help solve the "misting effect"? It may be a dumb question but i'm no expert.

I just ordered a tarptent contrail. Has anyone ever regretted buying this tent?

I have the pack and love it. I haven't had a single problem with it. I am looking for something smaller though, perhaps a golite pinnacle. I'm really starting to appreciate ultralight backpacking,...

Okay, I've got the tent thing narrowed down to two selections- Gossamer Gear Squall and Tarptent Contrail.

I've gotten alot of great feedback on the contrail, what can be said about the squall?...

How do single wall tents differ condensation wise? If this becomes a problem how do I combat it.

Big Agnes has a new tent coming out? That's news. Does anyone have a link to further information?

Last fall, during a hike, I was stupid and forgot my Big Agnes Seedhouse poles in the woods. I called Big Agnes and they said a new poles run about $80. The tent has some miles on it (rips and holes...

If you'd have been there you'd know where i'm coming from. Maybe I shouldn't have posted his pic, but the guy was nutty. How many people give complete strangers half there age GRAPHIC sex advice. The...

Crap, I never thought of that. I might be in some trouble.

That's reassuring.

There is no point, it's a story. As I said, there was another thread on the topic, but i couldn't find it. Just thought i'd put my encounter out there.

A couple days ago I ran across a thread discussing crazy hikers. I couldn't find it, so I thought i'd start a new one to tell my story.

Here goes:

Not long ago I went on a weekend hike on the...

Does anyone have experience with a Marmot Pounder? I'm thinking about getting one.

How do I put up a custom avatar? I'm trying to put a picture up.

I bought a pair of North Face Paramount Pants and I couldn't be happier. They have "gusseted crotch" so you have a lot of flexability. As for bugs, spray them with permefran (spelling?) .

"Has Spring sprung yet in the UP? Great place to call home."

The grass is green and the leaves are out, but it's still pretty cold. It's been 38 degrees today with a STONG wind and lots of rain....

Wow, this guy is a badass. He'd give wildcowboy a run for his money.

Don't ever buy a Katadyn Mini water filter. Last week while hiking, I had to use it for the first time. After pumping about half a bottle the stupid thing broke. Apparently the plastic it's made out...

Northface Paramount Zip Offs

Thanks.

"lose weight"

I'm not fat at all. I wrestled for 8 years, and I have really muscular thighs because of it.

Is there anything I can do about leg chafing?

Hi guys, i'm looking for a summer sleeping bag for my 2009 thru hike. I have a marmot helium (15 degrees), but i want to send it home when the weather gets warm. I want one that's rated for forty...

Yea, it does get nasty up here!!! Will Montbell give me my money back if I don't like it? What's the weather like on the A.T. in March?

I CAN'T decide between the micro puff and the thermawrap. I'm pretty suspicous about the thermawrap. How warm could an 8-9 ounce jacket keep a person. Would it be warm enough if I had a light fleece...
