well, my plans are to head down there early thursday morning and finish up Saturday night, and hope to hitch hike back to escalante from hwy 12 that evening. Does anyone know a quick quiet informal car camping spot around there we could stay at the night before we head home Sunday morning?

probably something you don't want to be mixing up...:eek: if I get some i'll let everyone know how they compare to said wag bags. Do you guys typically take wag bags or similar item when backpacking out in S.utah deserts?

that's right... I have standards. high standards.

I wish I was popular. I have 12 today :( hahaha

Has anyone had any experience with them? look like a solid alternative to the wag bags. They don't list the weight though and I can't imagine they'd be any lighter. http://www.biffybag.com/

awesome TR Nick, finally got a chance to read it all. the petrified stuff looks great. As a fellow dog person I know the sheer panic and emotion that come up when your loyal companion runs through an issue like that. In many ways - we're closer to our dogs than our friends. Hope she...

Total Bag nights: 8 3-8 to 3-11 - North wash /sandthrax area 3/13 to 3/14 - Triassic bouldering area. 3/30 to 4/1 - The Swell 4/13-4/15 - Arches I keep forgetting to to TR's on my last two. promise I'll get to them ... sometime...

Haha, well sissy I may be but I'm more so being jealous of this weekend's weather compared to last there is something fun about having questionable weather though, can't lie there

I want to get out friday and saturday since I have a lull before finals, but not sure if I will. regardless I'm going to Brighton's closing day Sunday so I'll have that for sure. weather last week was not pleasant, too bad I was a week off

I'll toss my lot in with the assie shepards too. I've had two of them and have loved everything about them. My current one is still a young girl, she's been on a bunch of trips with me and she is ever curious, beyond loyal and a very lover lover dog (around people she knows), and very fit and...

I say yes, if fit is right. I'm picky haha. I like a slim, but not skin tight, fit.

oh that's nasty. I hope they can be removed quickly before they start rotting..I once ran into a rotting dear in a slot. We smelled it hours before we saw it...one of the worst smells ever. I can only imagine how bad these could be haha.

adding to the compressing the loft thing - the more layers you put on the less your bag has room to loft up so to say. I don't know if this is completely supported with raw data or not but an old adage about down bags is to sleep with as little clothing as possible. This seems to have worked...

While doing some random internet browsing instead of working on an important paper, I ran across this: http://www.outdoorfoundation.org/research.participation.2010.html Seems interesting, I wonder about the methodology on this a lot but nonetheless its an interesting read. I only skimmed over...

awesome TR, I've been wanting to hit all those canyons up at some point.

I don't typically use that lens for night shots - i normally use my fisheye. I have taken one night shot with the filter on though and it turned out OK. Definitely would be better without the cpl. but its better than some other by far. it lets in far more light than my older one (a marumi) View...

I have a Singh-Ray warming CPL that almost never leaves my 17-40 (only time it does is when I want to use my ND8) I have a maurumi uv filter on all the others.

Can't believe I'm saying this...but for some reason I like the lower case b. Maybe because its just more salient? or because it seems to "poke" out a bit as a lower case so it kind of appears like its the man on campus while the upper case just kind of blends in and hides...or perhaps I'm just...

Excellent, you guys are an amazing resource. Nick - I think I'm sold on staying at death hollow 2 nights. Really hoping I can make time to get out. I'd be squeezing this in right after finals, not a huge window but I'm itching to get out as much as possible. I'm not a super strong biker but...

Awesome sounding trip Nick, I'm jealous I should have jumped in and joined.. doh
