Hobopelican, actually these numbers won't match unless you meet specific requirements. These equations basically cover the majority of younger ages and people in a certain physical shape. The...

Well Johannes,you'll be glad to know that I'm currently working on a simple calculator for this in Excel, so hopefully I'll be able to post a link for people to just type in basic information and get...

Yeah BrRabbit, most generally that's the case, we over pack with extra clothes and food to help prevent those unexpected cold nights. I always bring some form of extra insulation to help combat those...

Grumpy Squatch,
Yeah, I really didn't want to get too involved on the processes of metabolism, but rather to make the point that you need to have plenty of energy whether it be through food or body...

BrRabbit, I have only tested these scenarios with myself. I have many times calculated the amount of food and clothing I should pack over numerous camping trips ranging from the 60's to the mid teens...

I agree^^^

I wish downlite panned out too! I reckon someone could create an account and take orders for fellow HF members, but that could get messy. I may end up trying the Dream Puff, it looks promising but...

Come one, come all, my fellow Diy-ers of the woods!
A synthetic insulation that boasts 1.5 times more warmth than down? :scared: These folks can't be serious, right? The miracle insulation is...

If you guys are looking for a quality down fill of 800 to 1000 that is either untreated or has a hydrophobic coating, then give Downlite a call. They are also the manufacturer of primaloft if you are...
