I live just down the road from there, in Houston. I do love the Sipsey! Although over the past couple of years my brother and I are section hiking the Pinhoti NOBO, and we've gotten about 93 miles...

Thanks for the link! I really like the looks of that bar tensioner, too.

Yes, that's right. I was wearing my capiline-type base layer and a pair of thick wool socks, and I was all curled up so my feet were protected by the UQ, but I was so comfy I hated to get up and get...

I took my brand new, never been used, Hennessy Hex out on Monday/Tuesday and danged if one of the guys snapped at 6AM Tuesday morning. I'm annoyed. I'm upgrading pegs soon, so I may as well upgrade...

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't careful enough when I was writing the OP.

I took my Jarbidge River 3 out last year with an overnight low of 17. I was using a North Face Blue Kazoo 15° as...

Thank you all for your replies! I like the looks of the LL quilt, and I've been digging around the forums here for strategies for keeping my down dry. My problem the last time I was out was an...

The mail carrier brought me a Hennessy Hex tarp today! I haven't even put it up yet, but I'm excited. It's 143x120, so it's pretty good size. It's replacing an ENO DriFly.

Okay, so omit the...

I have a little money left from Christmas, and I'm looking to buy a top quilt. I've narrowed it down to three:

EE Revelation APEX 30°
KAQ/AHE Owyhee 3 Season (25°)
Loco Libre Saver Series...

I'm a naturally early riser, and especially so when in the woods. At the same time, being in the woods is a vacation for me, and on cold mornings the idea of getting out of my warm cocoon makes me...

I need to do that loop. Soon, before the ticks come out.

Simply Light Designs' offerings and Wilderness Logistics' Tadpole have caught my eye. That's probably the direction I'll go in. Later on I may DIY a larger tarp for car camping, just for the...

I can limp through this trip with some Gorilla tape and a couple stitches. The next time I'll use it, assuming there's a threat of rain, will be car camping in early March (so I can use a Walmart...

I am getting geared up for a weeklong trip next week, so I pulled out my ProFly to check the seam sealing. I haven't used it in over a year, so I had forgotten that it's ripped where the ridgeline...

Hi. My brother and I were in the area during Thanksgiving week, and yes, water was scarce. I have three recommendations. First, if you end up using the Chinnabee Silent Trail, either take water...

I bought the Jarbidge 3 yesterday in olive and black. Sorely tempted was I to get pink, but my dear brother pointed out that sticking out like a sore thumb is something we only want to do when lost...

That was one reason I was so excited to find this. We simply do not have the money right now for me to go all out with $500 worth of down top and under quilts, not with a baby whose formula and...

Thank you all for your help! I've decided to get the Jarbidge, especially after the video and motfot's kindness in posting measurements.

You're all awesome. Thanks again.

I think compressibility is my biggest question, though it may not necessarily be the biggest factor. I have a 70L pack, so I will have room, but how big is this thing in the stuff sack? Similar to...

From what I can see, the comparison is that the JrB is down and nearly three times the price, where the AHE is synthetic and not quite a third of the price. Is the AHE really only about 4oz heavier...

Thankfully, you don't have to do that if you don't want to.

I can't watch the videos right at the moment (the first rule of parenting is DON'T WAKE THE BABY!), but I will as soon as I can....

Those of you who hike with smaller (less than 25lbs) dogs, what do you do about sleeping arrangements for your furry friend -- particularly in cold weather? I have an ENO Singlenest, if that makes a...
