Deployed in a normal tarp shape, Snowpeake actually makes a tarp with a fireproof inner tarp. I have seen it in action. Just get your wallet out…

Golite Trek backpack from around 1999. The small alum pot from my boyscout set circa 1968

Ranger, what company did you use?

Can’t seem to find any weight info, so probably heavier than other choices?

I have had a hennessy ultralite for about 20 years. They hold up! I have done a couple of section hikes on the lower half of the AT, and have done several week plus canoe and kayak trips with the...

From an email received today:

I am 6-1 220 lbs. I have a Notch and like it. Enough room for me and the tapered Neoair (my rectangular Exped downmat is too big). There is enough room for your clothes bag by your head and...

I have the Notch. No problems. Just remember not to roll them too tight, and I use a square knot to tie them.

look a lot like the GoLite Den and Nest sets.

Hmmm. I do hammocks with pads. However, not sure I agree with the R value of CCF being high. From the REI website catalog:

blue foam pad 0.38 inch thick R 1.4
Z lite CCF 2.6

Nice start. Looking forward to the rest.

No clue what you are talking about....

I have done some of that area in a hammock during those timeframes. I did not use an underquilt, but I did carry a thermorest prolite pad that I slept on top of in the hammock. It was good to have...

I am going to do a BIG section hike this year. May 1st start for the section from Springer to Harpers Ferry. I need to decide whether to go Springer to HF, or HF to Springer. What would the pros...

What are people recommending for a 2015 guide/data book, and does anyone know when the AWOL 2015 version will come out and how to get it?

I bought the appalachian set a while ago. I like the stove. Not quite as efficient on an ounce of fuel as some of the other homemade alcohol stoves I have, but boils faster. Works reasonbly well...

Sunny's was a great brick and mortar army surplus/outdoor retailer in the new york/new jersey/washington dc area for many years before closing their stores and going to web only. Great place for...

Ok, this is funny. If you click the "look inside" buttons on these two cookbooks they have exactly the same table of contents. Just different packaging.

I think that is the sign post on the gravel road that goes from the wildlife loop to the "flats" on Assateague Island National Wildlife Refuge.

Came across some information that comes from studies of very long range endurance kayakers an canoists (race distances start at 100 miles for the shortest, and the longest races are things like...

My number one choice. Bought 2 pair to try out, now own 7, and will likely never own anything else again for that purpose until I need diapers.:)

Assateague Island has three parts - the southern half is a wildlife refuge and no camping. The middle section is National Seashore and there are drive in campsites and backcountry sites. The north...

Yes, you can dehydrate casseroles, stews, lasagna, etc. Just make sure to do a couple of things:

1. Keep the fat/oil content as low as possible
2. After placing on the dehydrator trays, break...
