Ace says that the mill stopped producing Dyneema, and so he is not carying it anylonger. However, there are about 4 to 5 companies that use it, so I am willing to bet one can still find it. However,...

I would have to say it all depends on your style of hiking. Personally I would go with a poncho made of SilNylon, make some tie outs, and use it as your shelter or emergency shelter.

Virginia Tech is in Blacksberg Virginia. Pretty much right by the AT.

When I came back to the US I was required to go to Counciling. I hated that I had to go, but I think it would be a good idea for all returning vets to go to counciling. They may hate it, but it would...

I was not hiking that day. I lived in Reno, NV at the time, so it was early morning when the phone rang. I was still asleep, and decided that if it was important they would call back. AS couple...

I think jessearl was speaking of something to use as a chair during breaks.

If you seriously consider buying the newest light weight gear just so you can see if you can make something lighter.

looks like 1.1oz silnylon to me, but things look different in person.

How about folding it in half similar to how one would use it as a chair?

I had never used a sleeping pad until last year. And I had even gone in the winter in NH. It was cold through the ground but I was still alive after 3 days. lol

I used an HH ULBA with 2 people and a dog. The dog made it a bit uncofortable, but my wife and I together was fine.

Very good to hear!

SilNylon is shiny on both sides. Poly coated Nylon has a shiny side and a dull side.

I have been thinking about getting a HH ADVENTURE RACER, but I read the Fly is permanently attached. This is a disappointment to me. I would like to use a poncho tarp as a replacement fly.

Well said!

Crampons, on the AT? If you are on the PCT or the CDT, yes, but the AT? I wouldn't imagine you would need crampons.

I have no real reason to believe he cannot make his goal. Sub 40 is going to be tough, but I am sure he can at least beat the current record.

The volumetric discharge data I got from http://mainerivers.org/kennebec.htm
The depth and length I made up, just to show how fast it could be flowing if it were a decent size river. The discharge...

The average discharge of the Kennebec River is 9111 cubic feet per second (258 m³/s), but this does not really tell you what type of velocities you are getting. That will depend on both the depth and...

Well, even if one retires they are put on what is none as Reserve Status. Someone that is on Reserve Status can be called back into active duty. I am not sure if this is what occurred, but it does...

Socks, maybe?

With how much whiskey you will be sent you are going to be able to make a bit of money from it. If you are really desperate you could always make what we sailors make, Bilge Wine. Not too sure you...

Definately agree! There is really no need for a head net while in the desert.
Pack cover is touch and go. With current weather conditions it may be usefull even in the desert at this point. It has...

I would say if you are looking mainly for a just in case tarp, you will not go wrong by using a Poncho Tarp. However, these types of tarps are on the small size, and normally one needs experience...
