Planning a 9 day trip to Wind River range in Wyoming and I am in the process of preparing, gathering, and planning my food. I did a rough weigh in tonight and I am at ~1 lb 8 oz per day giving my 16 lbs 2 oz of food for 9 days.
This has been a bit of a process planning out food for that many...
I have found I am usually a warm sleeper and I wonder if the regular xlite will work ok for me. My current pad is only 2.9 so even the reg xlite wold be an upgrade for me.
I am beginning my UL journey. Currently I have the ULA Circuit which weighs in at 37 oz (2.3lbs) I am strongly considering the Tarptent Notch which they list at 27 oz (1.68 lbs) and some kind of UL quilt. I am also going to get the near xlite which will save me 7 oz on my pad weight.
Its funny...
This is going to be very difficult for me for an upcoming trip. Have not hammered out exactly how long, but at the most 9 days. Most likely I guess about 7-8 days. I am hoping to get food to under 2 lb per day for sure as that is a lot of weight. Granted, after the first few days it will not be...
I found this resource to be very helpful. I plan on building my meals based off this guide: http://blackwoodspress.com/blog/16547/ultralight-backpacking-meal-plan/
I think it seems like a lot of food, but high caloric intake is important from what I gather, so a hearty breakfast, multiple...
I have ben looking heavily into the Enlightened quilt, Hammock gear quilt, and the zpack quilt. For some reason I am leaning toward the enlightened revelation due to the versatility of the foot box design. I like the idea of the quilt being opened fully as a blanket. Yet, it review last on...
Thank you for your review Nick. I have been looking into getting a new pad and this one seems to be sliding into top place. I would like to ask what pad you are currently using? I currently have a 2 year old REI stratus and have been about 2.5/5 stars happy with it. I love the weight of the...
Looking for a new UL spelling bag and have heard about the well known Zpacks but recently came to hear about Hammock Gear Burrow quilts.
For the price, the HG seems to be a very good value but was curious if anyone has any experience with them? One to the coolest feature of the HG is a snap...
I am kind of anal about getting my own gear... I think I will look into getting my own suit. I have a harness that my brother has used and I will double check the fit. I Have been wanting to get some canyoneering shoes for some time, so I think I will get a pair of five ten's. I have an Osprey...
Hello,
Heading to the Subway in mid June with some friends and was hoping to get a better idea of what I can expect from the trail. I know there is water pretty much though out and I will need to look into getting a wet suit, but is there any other specific gear or equipment needed for this...
I was wondering for those who have hiked Mt Timpanogos, Utah, with snow, what the ideal time frame might be?
I would like to experience it with some snow still but with little to no avalanche danger.
I would think that mid to late April might be a good time or early May.
Any thoughts...
Pretty sure there was a couple in Coyote Gulch as well if I remember right.
I have never really giving this idea much thought, though it is a little intriguing now :)
