I'm 96.9843% sure that the owner of the desert rat frequents here so question for ya: do you have the replaceable lens cover for the gopro hero2? Mine is scratched to pieces and I keep forgetting to buy a new one. something like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VPDK7M/?tag=backcountrypo-20

I got most of my stuff off thu-hiker.com and just used various other's experiences online to help me get mine set. its not perfect but I love it. I used just a regular ole sewing machine. At the time I used my mom's older, but high end home sewing machine.

yeah I've heard their winters can be brutal.

this is great, thanks guys! It seems that in every way but wanting to save a penny STG is a much better way to go. What are the summers like? How bike/pedestrian friendly is STG overall and are there area's that's better than others for that?

There is a very good chance I will need to relocate to southern utah in the near future. I'm trying to figure out what is the better living destination between the two cities. What's important to me: -access to outdoors for backpacking, climbing and canyoneering. Both seem to be pretty good if...

that's not much of a concern, I'm just after a cheap light pot that I can use over a fire. I don't want to ruin/discolor my nicer stuff

I made my own down quilt last year and overall its been great. My biggest issue has been drafting but I modified it a few weeks ago and added some extra fabric along the sides to stuff under my pad or spread out better and it really helped. its 20oz with 2 1/2 to 3 inches of loft (not...

Hey guys, I'm looking for a small pot that can be used in open flames. Ideally something 24-32 oz. I've seen the open country 2quart kettle at REI and looks perfect...if it were smaller. I've heard amazing things about a cheap kmart grease strainer but I can't find it online. Does any one have...

That mileage looks great. I'll probably be poking my head into bighorn canyon and others too. Should be respectable miles for the first trip of '13. Getting down that should be pretty simple, at least compared to getting up it haha.. I've done similar with my dog before.

I have a ton of shoes for the trails, You'll see I'm about being as minimal as possible.. Canyoneering I have la sportiva xplorers. They're super super sticky. That's about all the good I can say about them. The sole or whole shoe hasn't been terribly durable. Winter: merrell isotherms...

dark canyon looks awesome Bill, I bet that would make a great trip when its a bit warmer so the water is more inviting

ever hear of anyone venturing up bighorn sheep canyon?

Nick you do wonders for beta. so does this route look pretty good? i'm on my work computer so I only really have google maps and wht the internet can show me: http://goo.gl/maps/QabRG gonna log into my ajroad trips and check out his stuff. As far as hours and mileage... with these slots its...

Ok looked up your trip report, looks pretty sweet. Camping out at lake Powell would be incredible and you're whole route looks great. My only worry is the water and temperature. Its only going to be high 50-low 60's there. I'm concerned about having to do a lot of wading with wet feet and even...

Good to know Dan, thanks. checking out Dark canyon. Nick, doesn't that require some solid wading and some technical sections - ie no dogs? or am I mistaking that for another canyon?

I'm going to be in the north wash area early next month and am looking to tack on a quick overnighter, maybe 2 night backpacking trip to the end. I was looking at @Aldaron's trail guide for angel cove and was wondering if there could be a modified longer route that more so included the whole of...

Love larry canyon, killer video! I still need to get mine together.. we ran the slog back to the larry TR when I did it which made it a nice easy jaunt.

wow, that's sweet!

oh man I love dogs. Mine's a aussie/heeler mix. She's very active and while she's very timid/shy around new people once she's warmed up she's one of the most lovey dogs ever. this is from a backpacking trip in may in death hollow. she LOVES water, and fetch (though normally its all about...

cool, didn't know that. I purchased gaia for my phone after my gps failed and am planning on using that temporarily. seems to work pretty well
