I would look at Kelty, Sierra Designs and Lafuma. WM and Feathered friends are nowhere near $100! Here is an excellent down bag at a good price ($109.85), that weighs 2 pounds 5 oz. It has a 35...

Well Said. I wanted to buy it too. But Taba skirted around even simple, straight forward questions from me, then he bragged some MORE after people had told him that he brags too much. He has done...

Jeesh Taba. All I did was ask you for the names of a few stores in NC that carry the book, because Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders and the other bookstores I am familiar with don't carry it. You...

I love Lafuma bags. I have never had a single problem with them.

I will be in NC in a couple of weeks. Please list the names of a few stores that carry your book. Thanks.

How about making it an e-book?
You would save trees, get it out to people quicker, and lower the price you charge while making a greater profit.

You have missed the point entirely with the above post, and have tried to steer the discussion away from the real issues.
So, here is the issue simplified:
Taba says he is "a Professional Hiker." ...

While Bryson did some research on the history of the trail, history of the region, government agencies, the environment, chestnut trees, and the dangers of wild animals, most of the hiking parts are...

I have owned Goite and Jansport, and the Jansport is much, much more durable. If the pack is comfortable and a good price, I say buy the Jansport. It will give many years of service, and you won't...

When is it too light? Where do you draw the line?

Good observation. You will save people time and money.

Many coffee shops and most libraries have free wifi. Some libraries that didn't have wifi have computers you can use for free.

I like to dig a hole, go, and then burn the toilet paper in the hole. Then I fill in the hole. Works well for me.
I hate when people leave their toilet paper on the ground. I'm not sure what they...

When all you do is drive around, Lone Wolf, you don't need a ground cloth. :banana

I think some of you are lumping footprints, which are heavy and expensive, and are an extra add-on the salesman is trying to sell you, with light weight mylar space blankets which are light and...

Multi use can often be a good idea, but the Nunatak and the Wearable Quilt just aren't very practical in my experience.

Heet in the yellow bottle seems to work the best in the pepsi can stove. It is available at every autoparts store, Walmart, most quikiemarts, many drugstores and most places that have an auto supply...

I wish these guys would just hike their own hikes and stop the shameless self promotion.

I guess I'm a lot different than you guys. On a 20 mile hike, in warm but not hot weather, I will drink about 4 quarts.

I'd go with a Pepsi can stove. You can get one for about $7 on ebay, if you don't want to make one yourself. Performance and weight are the same. Why pay $20 more for titanium?

I have that Lafuma bag and the quality is excellent. I think the people who bad mouth Lafuma have never actually owned one. Don't let the good price make you think it is a crummy bag, because it is...

Titanium spoons and sporks are a waste of money. There are many lower priced and lighter spoons out there.

Matches, Toliet Paper, ear plugs

Yes, I use inflatable water wings I bought at Walmart. They weigh about 2 oz and cost a dollar.

I have found products similar to UA at Ross, Marshals and TJMaxx for a fraction of the cost. One was made by Nike, and I feel the quality was better than UA.
