I use the hip belt pockets for small stuff like sun screen, bug spray, head lamp, compass etc....

I buy Quest Bars from my crossfit box. Most contain 1-2 grams of sugar, 20 grams of carbs and 20+ grams of protein at around 180-190 calories. They taste amazing, and the texture is good. Not like...

You should give Yamamountaingear.com a look. They have net tents that would work under your tarp. I have a Zpacks 8 1/2 X 11 cuben tarp and I bought a yama mountain gear 1.25 net tent to go with it....

I can't find a link either, but I was there this weekend and there were two full display boxes in the isle with camping gear, tents etc. I'll dig a little further when I get home and see if I can...

You can get a good pair of carbon fiber, foam grip, flick lock poles at Costco for $30. Cheap enough to try out and if you break one, oh well. I have the twist lock version and have used them for all...

I bought a pair of western mountaineering flash booties. I haven't had them outside yet, but they are super warm while sitting on the couch! The price is reasonable (about $50) and they are very...

I got choked up just reading the title "Old Yeller". Reminded me of another tear jerker dog story, "Where the Red Fern Grows". Dammit! Need a feel good title, STAT!!! Baseball, Hiking, anything but...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll keep an eye out for the posts about free books. I picked up (downloaded) Our Southern Highlanders. Looking forward to starting that one. I also got a few of the...

I just received a Kindle Fire from my awesome wife (for just being a great guy, I guess) and I need to start filling it up with books! I'm reaching out to the Whiteblaze community for suggestions. ...

Received mine last week. I like the mug a lot, but found that the sweet lid that came with it also fits my Snow Peak mug (mini solo) that came in the hybrid summit kit. I've been trying to find some...

+1 for contacting Tim Marshall! I had a question concerning my style of sleep (kind of a thrasher) and what quilt width I should get. I emailed Tim and he got right back to me. Great customer...

I bought an enLIGHTened Equipment Revelation X 20* quilt regular length/wide width, with black outer and royal blue inner and 3% overstuff for $245 shipped. Tim usually has black/black in stock for...

I had to buy a roll of the Reflectex because my wife got mad when I used her windshield sun shade for my first attempt at pot cozies. Bought her a new one when I picked up my cozy supplies. Happy...

I make mine with Reflectex (sp?). It's basically bubble wrap with reflective Mylar on each side. You can buy rolls of it at Home Depot. Buy some aluminum foil tape (HVAC section) and you are set! ...

I am 5'10" 190lbs and a pretty restless sleeper. At Tim's(w/EE) suggestion, I bought a 6' wide version of the RevX 20 degree down quilt. If you have any questions, he will respond quickly to help you...

I'm 5'10" 185 and a large fits me. With room for a fleece or a couple layers underneath. If you want I can post a pic of me wearing it. Not sure if that helps you or not.

Sorry for basically the same post. Darn technology, one of these days I'll figure it out. :)

Still happy with the GSI kettle, but changed my setup. Going with a SP600 with a myog lid and heat shrink handles. I bought a modified starlyte stove from Zelph (awesome stove great price). I made...
