NO...no...in fact they have a SOLID balance sheet that you'd be shocked to see. Take a little peek for yourself:

That is the scariest comment in the entire article. Just look at other "established areas of operations" under their "protection".
There is no official designation of that area which sadly...
Thanks for the info, I've REALLY been wondering how this stove would do and...I was wondering if the stove was worth the $70....so I appreciate the feedback.
FWIW I have a Trangia and it typically...
What next, a photo shoot for GQ??????
OK so what's the occasion????
Are any of the following possibilities:

Just want you to know that our family's thoughts and prayers are with you and Sgt. Rock and ALL the American Forces and their families serving in this war.

Hope both you and Lone Wolf have a great hike.
Any chance you guys MIGHT POSSIBLY have a list of mail drops where you'll be picking up mail??? Just in case anyone out there might want to send you...
Sgt,
I have a La Fuma 800 Warm and Light and have been very happy with it. IT really does weight 1 lb 12 oz!!!! (I also own an REI sub kilo, a Golite Fur, a WM Linelite and a Moonstone down liner)...
TP for pee????
I just use a leaf or two in place of TP for the remaining drop or so that might linger. I'm sure there are many other women out there that do the same.
I use the Kelty Tempest as my "winter" pack. It carries snowshoes nicely in the "taco" section of the pack and has two side pockets which make things easily accessable in winter and a large top...

Snap-on's also!!!!!
It would cost a fortune to make a pack that is lightweight, and designed to be durable enough, to last a lifetime.
Think about it.
If everyone wanted to replace their packs the cost would...
In my opinion Lone Wolf you are NOT missing out!!!!!
FWIW, I did call ATC and asked them to add the Data book to my awaiting Companion order. They were very nice and, in fact, they sent it out and it arrived within a few days of my call. (The...
Just wanted to clarify that the Golite Gust and the new models that came out last year DO have hip belts.
It is the Golite Breeze that does NOT have a hip belt.
The Gust, doesn't have a...
Also I don't know how far south you are willing to drive but there is a REI in Reading and another possibility might be Moor and Mountain in North Andover, MA.
REI in Framingham has a larger...
I personally LOVE my Golite for loads under 25 lbs.
I do want to state that is for loads UNDER 25 lbs. AND I got the small frame version. I tried my husbands out, which is a medium and HATED...
If you are able I'd have her go to as many stores as she could and try out packs for herself. Ideally if she can load up the pack with around the weight she's going to carry and then walk around...

Why not consider a down liner for the 20 degree bag...that will probably get you a 5 degree bag. When it gets a little warmer just send the liner home and regulate the heat with the 20 degree bag,...
Thanks Peaks. I appreciate the info...I really did not want to carry out a possible weeks worth of fish guts!!!!!
YUCK...I don't think Keith Shaw would want to give us a ride back to our car!!!
Peaks,
That practice applies ONLY to NY and VT, NOT the Whites, HECK, you can even make HUT reservations in MAY at two of the huts that are along the loop I suggested. (Both Galehead and Greenleaf...
