I left out one important thing. ALL or at least your vital water containers should be wide mouthed so you can scoop out slush if the water gets to that point....
Hi All, As some of you know I'm continuing to work on getting my pack weight down so that I don't want to throw my pack into a ravine when I come out of...
... It's interesting what you learn... I was always taught to completely change clothes before turning in. NEVER NEVER NEVER wear damp clothes to bed. It was...
I have a Tarptent Rainbow and love the weight savings it provides so much that I am willing to overlook a few dislikes. There is only one trip that I was on...
I have a Contrail. Lets add up the likes and dislikes. I like the light weight. I like the very fast and easy setup. I like the way it sheds rain in the little...
I used a Contrail for about a year before replacing it with a shaped tarp. I agree with William and Pat - I had a love/hate thing going about it. If I had to...
There are several 3 to 3.5 pound tents out there that you can put on a diet and get 4 to maybe 8 ounces off of. Think outside the stuff sack. Trim tags off...
This discussion is missing one option that I thought I would mention. HAMMOCKS. I have recently aquired a Henessey exptidition. I have only used it once. It...
... of ... Its a Mountain Laurel Designs SuperFly. I am one of the few who has one because it was discontinued during the big spinnaker fabric shortage last...
Hello, newbie here (but longtime hiker). I've used various tents over the years, but haven't used tarps without floors built in (too many bugs in Ohio. If you...
I'm unable to swing the early wknd date in February for dayhiking/cabin staying in Big South Fork. So it's up to all of you out there to get a Feb group...
Too bad the SuperFly is gone. I noticed their cuban fiber SUL pack is gone, too. :( But on the other hand, the DuoMid looks pretty darn roomy! Tim - sorry to...
Stargazer, welcome to the group! I for one, certainly hope you'll be able to join us on some of our trips - we need constellation justification! ;) Great...
... I'd like that, Frenchy. Since my wife "retired" from BPing, it's been a long, lonely road. However, i love to walk just for its own sake, so I can't...
I know of a couple places at the RRG above the Indian Staircase with open fields that can be camped in. If there is a trip headed that way I can give you...
here is my trip report from the smokies jan 1-3 2009.. I drove down late wednesday night and slept in the car a few hrs, then hiked up from the big creek...
Sounds like a great trip, Brett. And thanks for the ideas for trails. I have a group trip in mind in the same area for this April/May. I like to go to SMNP...
I was thinking the same thing - RRG! Although, I'm not familiar with the meadows near Indian Staircase...you'll have to show me those! In exchange, I'll show...

You would be amazed how close to the upper rock shelter the one is. There is a system of fire roads back in there and I use them for trails. If I can ever find...
This is up near Chimney and Princess. I would love to watch the stars out here but getting the 150 yards back to camp in the dark is horrible. We watch the sun...
I just spent a couple of nights in the Everglades. No moon and the star gazing was terrific especially since the temp was about 60 degrees at night. I did...
