I'm in the same boat, I did a couple winter weekend trips last season, but there wasn't any real hiking involved in that. It looks like this requires cross-country skis or snowshoes, which I'd have...

I just went on my first cold-weather (5 degrees F) trip, and was surprised by the Jarbridge's performance. As long as your tarp blocks most of the wind and you have the ends adjusted correctly (for...

Just realized there's a "trip reports" section that this should be under. If any mods are feeling generous, please move it for me?

I just returned from a 2-night trip that was my first experience camping with snow anywhere nearby. It was quite the experience, and was uniquely rewarding. Unfortunately, I didn't have room to pack...

That noise was the only real complaint over the weekend. It rained Saturday night, which required us to tighten up our paracord ridgelines when they got soggy, but was uneventful otherwise. We were...

Way more neon 550 cord than I could...

Awesome, this is already a huge help. $100 each is fine for something that works, but I don't want to go too much higher than that. My biggest concern is making sure this isn't a terrible first...

I just had my first hammock experience this past weekend and loved it! I had a standard closed cell pad, a cheapo 30° bag I got off Woot, and an inexpensive grand trunk hammock. Once I found a...
