Columbia at the outlets in park city are selling down omni heat down jackets for 39.99 right now, originally 89.99. I just picked up my first down jacket tonight.
What does everyone use to weigh your gear? I hear everyone talk about how much all their individual items weigh but all I know are based on specs from the internet, but I customize a lot of my stuff. What's a good scale that you guys recommend to weigh my gear?
Last weekend, my brother in law and I decided we had to get one more trip in up to the Uintas. It always sucks accepting that the season in the high country is coming to an end. We didn't care where we went or how far we traveled as long as we got up there and enjoyed it one last time. So we...
Yeah I will probably pack it still but I doubt I will need it. I have the ENO Doublenest hammock. I don't have the under-quilt though. I'm just going to pack warm, and hope that my pad underneath me will keep me warm enough. I've never been cold in it before, but this weekend will be the coldest...
I am looking at getting a new water filter system. I have always used the Katadyn pump filters, but recently I have been doing some research on the Sawyer Mini. I was wondering if anyone uses this and what your thoughts are on it?
Anyone been up to the Uintas recently? How are the bugs? I'm going up next weekend and am trying to figure out if I will need to bring my bug net for my hammock.
My wife and I try and do a new hike every weekend or at least every other weekend. I am looking for suggestions where we can take our dogs off leash and that there is water for them to cool off in. Anywhere within 30 minutes driving distance from Salt Lake. Any suggestions?
Also, I have been...
I have the ENO system. The hammock, tarp, bug net, and straps. For all, it probably costs around $240, but for me it's been well worth it. Once you get the hang of setting them up after the first couple of times, they get a lot easier, and save a lot of room in my pack.
Me and a couple of buddies headed up into the Erickson Basin a couple of weeks ago. It was a 2 night/3 day trip. Our plan was to him in a little ways on Thursday night and set up camp, pack up early Friday and head for North Erickson Lake. I have been to North Erickson Lake before, but only from...
We backpacked into Erickson Basin a couple of weeks ago and found this bear track on the trail. For some reason it is hard to see clearly on the computer, but it is clear as day on my phone. This is the first real sign of bear that I have seen in Utah, but I mostly backpack up past 10,000 feet...
Where in the Uintas has good stream fishing? I love fishing the lakes up there, but haven't ever really been able to find good stream fishing for fly fishing. Anyone have any recommendations?
I've looked through just about every thread on this forum and don't recall ever coming across a "Bigfoot" thread. Haha I have been watching survivorman: Bigfoot every Friday, and last night it really got me thinking, so I thought I would start a thread about it.
I don't have any opinions on the...
Thanks for the reply. I am open to either one like I said, and you're probably right about the higher elevation trails being open by then too. If we do decide to do North Fork, what trailhead is it, and do you have directions to get there?
Hey guys, so I have been trying to plan a mid June uinta trip but obviously there is no way to know the conditions up there until the time comes. I have been looking at some trip reports from previous years. The areas I am planning on doing is either the North Fork Provo River...
I am determined to only pack my hammock this summer. I have the complete ENO system and I love it, I've just never used it to sleep in. I know that of I pack both my hammock and tent, then I will always stay in my tent, so I'm not even going to tempt myself and leave the tent at home on all my...
How is geartrade.com on their return policy? I've been looking at getting my wife a new backpack for her birthday this year, and they are selling the pack for the cheapest I have found anywhere. I'm just afraid if it doesn't fit her right, will I be able to return it?
