Sounds very maybe....

Pulks are off, no skis or snowshoes needed, unlikely any snow on the ground, mild temperatures (Highs in 50s, lows in 30s). Not what I'd call a proper winter backpacking trip, but we can pick a date,...

The event will happen 1 week later, during President's Day weekend. If anyone wanted to join, but couldn't because of the need to take 1 day off - here's your chance.

We will be gathering/ camping near the trail head first night. You can join for a night if you want to test your gear and skills.

I know you can sleep comfortably in a pile of snow, so you can...

Subj. Not limited to hammock people, but some hammocks will be present.

I really appreciated this opportunity to hang with you guys. Lots of good food been shared, chili and bacon-potato soup to name a few. I did lousy job setting my tarp (too high, bad orientation with...

I will come. My dog will too. This year I shall have better tarp than last year :) For food to share, I will bring my homemade bread and "salo" (which is salted pork fat) - good stuff for winter to...

Rabbit fur bomber hat doesn't lose heat with or without a pillow. Bomber hat = bomb proof

1) I don't like to pay Ebay/Paypal fees and therefore don't like to deal with them.
2) I am willing to sell some of my stuff at a cheaper rate to this community
3) Sometimes, shipment of some bulky...

Charlie is above and beyond the customer service... I am not sure if he's actually even making any profit while throwing all those nice customizations to his customers for free.

Correction... It's not light green, it's a dark green, as in the picture.
Where were my eyes?

+1.

After researching all different glues through the weekend, I think Rock-It hit the bank with just the right glue. Arctic Silver Adhesive (ASTA-7G,...

1) Fetal position, with hands between legs, is warmer than anything else IMHO

I agree with everything else though! The rest is in addition to the original list...

2) Avoid wind drafts, both in...

Yeah, that wasn't my brightest idea, I must admit. But I reserve the right to run the stove to boil my water (or cook my meals) under my tarp if it's raining outside.

If the ridge seam of "factory taped" seam was leaking, it must be not sealed (or not properly sealed). Redo it with SeamGrip, or I don't know what our cottage vendors are using (because whatever they...

I must misunderstood the previous posts then...

I looked at that particular one. It certainly can withstand heat, but from what I could find, it's not heat conductive. What's the purpose of attaching a heat sink, if it's insulated from the bottom...

Hmmmm, I ran some more math. 2*7$7 (for heat sinks) + $6 (for the glue) + $6 (for the IMUSA).... = $26 ?
Now, it doesn't seem such a no-brainer... Although savings in fuel are impressive, if the...

I thought you said you love changing clothes :lol: in another thread

I started with a Single Line Ridgeline tie-outs... And it was OK, but there were 2 defisiencies -

a) When hanging, I had to put the tarp and ridgeline together and I find it a bit difficult to...

My experience with them is from 90s, and then DHL was first-class service.

I wonder if anyone can recommend a strong thermally-conductive adhesive (epoxy) designed to work on higher temperatures than 300F under $15?

There are 3 types of people, those who know basic math and those who don't.

Awesome! I rarely do any DIY modifications, but I am seriously considering it now...
Do you think the glue will hold on Titanium or Anodized Aluminium? Let us know how the glue performs in the long...

Not with a definite answer kill a pleasant conversation, but by questioning the questions let your opponents shine. (from rules of conducting a pleasant discussion).

On what ground would you sue government for limiting your access to the public lands? Freedom to roam is not codified in the constitution

Did you consider USPS parcel retail ground shipping option? That might lower you shipping costs for several throws and maybe make $25 per throw more feasible?

Give them a call, Bollingbrook had 55 of them, and it's the only one with any sizeable inventory. Others in Chicago area (and not all of them) had 2-6 items listed, but it's not guaranteed.

Thinking along the same lines here - are you a side sleeper? I am, and even though my breath was going outside the bag, it went into the hammock wall. Now, I don't have no underquilt, so it made no...

Cotton Balls + Vaseline works as well and cost much less than $20.

I called my nearest Costco membership desk, gave them item #, they told me they don't have it... Then I asked - can you tell me who has it!
All costco store employees did not mind at all to do this...

Hey guys, I just found a few more hidden stockspiles:

1) Mishawaka store (38)
625 E University Dr
Granger, IN 46530-7381
(574) 401-7004

2) Bolingbrook store (55!) - I think I heard that...

I don't compress my sleeping bag, so it takes half of my backpack space, or a third, depending on how much other stuff I push into my bag (thus forcing sleeping bag to compress). I keep my tarp in an...

Some southern nations where summer time highs are above human body temperature traditionally were wearing for centuries thick cotton coats to protect themselves from excessive heat (and drink hot tea...

I could suggest, that instead of tree straps, one could put some (3, maybe 4) sticks of proper width (which are supposedly abundant in a tree area) under the rope and that would ensure the tree bark...

Point in case, I used to live in California and went for 2 days "navigation" training class. It wasn't exactly summer, but it was hot and lots of sunshine during the day (and I couldn't relax in the...

I wonder if I'm seen as one of those evil 2%... If so, I want to apologize for my overreach, and emphasize that anything I say is my personal experience, that I am totally 100% supportive of "Hike...

Once I told the story to my Ukrainian friend about 2 guys who wanted to figure out who's stronger and in the process bent 2in wide soldered iron rod (used as a tool normally to crush ice on roads)....

I'm eyeing SeatoSummit collapsible X-mug to use both as a bowl, a spare cup and a lid for my regular mug. Apparently, it's cheaper in REI than on Amazon!

I've read in the Ray Jardine's book that deep freezing kills all nutritional value of the food and would like to ask a food professional (The Dutch himself) if there's any truth to it? Did Mr Jardine...

It's so easy to get Lost in the New Zealand. I bet you had great time there

His money, his decisions... I'd look into Top Quilt instead of Sleeping bag if I don't own a sleeping bag already. If Down is out of the price range, then synthetic TQs aren't much more expensive...

I rarely buy anything at REI, even though I visit them now and then. Here's my ideas -

a) Buy something from them with the gift card and some cash. Return afterwards. Many times you could get...

Yo, brother! Rent a car, drive to that Costco, get yourself a membership and buy all of those leftovers! (Option - find a buddy with Costco membership & a car).

Call Costco afterwards and cancel...

They aren't available online. The Costco item #638823 (if you want to call your local Costcos).

Yeah, I wasn't that much afraid of the wildlife in the woods, more about other humans.

I just called them, they still have 31 left!
Tried to persuade them to mail all of them to me or my local Costco, but they don't do that :((

Check out "The Ultimate Hang" book and website... As mentioned by many people before, it has answers to the questions you did not yet know to ask.
