Wow I am the minority. I voted for the Clark. Its the only one that I have owned but looked at several and touched and played with them before going the Clark route. I like the fact that I can go 3-4...

I have not done it down hill before just up hill. I lived just north of the springs for a number of years and my company was one of the major sponsors for a benifit hike called the Pikes Peak...
I think on one of the other threads on new log temp I posted about doing just what you talked about. I was hanging in the loft of a shelter that night so the wind was limited. I used a number of...
On some of the CLark models it has a weather shield buil in that is one of the reasons I went with it. I find it helps on heavy dew mornings as well. I don't wake up as damp as my gear.
I am sorry but I guess I am still very new here but it seems to me like this is way over the top. Some people really seem to to be wound really tight. I don't know any of the history about deleted...
I don't know I guess I might try the quilt thing if it ever gets to the point hwre the basics don't keep me warm. When I was looking into the whole idea of going to the trees rather than a tarp/tent...
Man sorry about the massive brain fart on posting this. I hope that this works so here is the images of the cobbles campsite outside of Cheshire Ma780
I won't be thru but will be out and about. The joke right now is that I am a "ru" hiker in that I have half of a few states but none completed. I am not sure where or when but throughout the year as...
Was out about 10 days ago with Doggiebag and a few others. He took to the ground on this trip wanting to give his pooch Aldo a warmer place to sleep. I still hung. We were down in MD and the first...
yep no doubt that the nights are longer but it also seems to me that everything I do takes longer on winter hikes so you may find that your time gets chewed up quickly. I find that cooking takes...
I have the same question as Cavediver I guess mine goes a bit further in I don't want to limit my hang options by getting a tarp that is too big. I like the weight on these as I do most of my hanging...
Well I guess I am an oddity. I am using my rig the way that it came shipped to me and so far so good. This pic is from my recent trip through Harriman State Park. Lots of people just refer to it as...
Now I have lived in a number of states where hunting is a big deal (PA, CO, WY) and have hunted myself but now that I live with in striking distance of NYC the hunting season gives me reason to be...
I know in reading HE trail journal he talks about some Stealth sites that he has hung at through the Whites. This can be a big help if you are not wanting to allow the map and huts to decide where...
If its too far south it may be tough to make it for me. Will have to see as we get closer what timining permits.
I have been able to pick up a number of places that one might call good stealth sites from reading journal entries and logs at the shelters but thought it may be intresting to hear what some of the...
I don't know depends on the age of the lady in my bed at the time.
Back on Subject...I do recall hearing about one hiker who got the trail name of Bearbag because of a bear coming into camp and...
I am not really sure that the weather shield is designed to be the main barrier to the elements I think that it is more to act as an additional wind screen and help hold some body warmth into the...
http://www.trailjournals.com/photos.cfm?id=268043I was very undecided on what I was going to do Tent or Hammock for sectioning the AT. After that first delemia was solved, Hammock, then the next one...
