Hello Folks We will hike JMT SOBO starting from Tuolumne Meadows late August to mid-September. I’m planning our daily itinerary. In the section from Reds Meadow to Silver Pass I would like to take

Hi Geraldine, If you are getting hip bruises under a heavy load, it may be a sign that the hip belt on the pack you are using isn't suited for your body type. That is a conclusion I came to myself

Osprey has some outstanding exceptions that meet or exceed weight advantages of the best of them.? Look at the Eja (Exos) which is under 3 pounds for a full framed pack and a pound lighter than? for

Geraldine there are some pack brands out there that have pretty solid frames with low total pack weights. The Osprey’s are comfortable for their weight because the frames are excellent, but they are

Thanks Tom, that's very helpful. If there is no difference when punctured, then that makes my sleeping bag decision much easier. On the backpack, I will look at upgrading to a similar model, however

Insulation is near zero on a deflated pad. The good news is top tier pads are quite durable when treated well. Some people prefer foam pads which is a durable low cost option. I use a neoair womens

Thanks Heather. I'm looking forward to meeting you, returning to VVR and the JMT! Geraldine.

Thanks for all the input and advice on sleeping pads. I really appreciate it and will digest it and make a more informed decision. I would love if REI came to Europe (and Ireland specifically) so I

Awesome! I am working the front desk at VVR all summer and will look forward to meeting you. Happy trails, Heather L McCoy @mermaidlovesmountains

I have booked a shuttle from Fresno to VVR with Jim Clement ( vvrjim@... ) on Sunday 25th August 2024 around noon. Happy to leave later too if anyone is interested in sharing the journey

I'm a sucker for a thick sleeping pad. I have a pretty old Big Agnes one (orange). It's heavy but worth the weight. With a thinner pad, if I sleep on my side, my hips can sometimes bottom out on the

I love my Big Agnes Q-core SLX. Combined with the Lost Ranger bag with sleeve it's terrific. I like to be comfortable at night and it does the trick, along with an inflatable? pillow. The fact

I use thermorest. Used to use big Agnes’s. Had 2 blowup on day 2. They did not stand behind their product. Stupid move in the backpacking world.

Have a look at Big Agnes: https://www.rei.com/product/216101/big-agnes-divide-insulated-sleeping-pad ( https://www.rei.com/product/216101/big-agnes-divide-insulated-sleeping-pad ) I had several and

My wife and I spend about 20-25 nights per year in the backcountry. Our favorite has been the Thermarest Neoair Xlite, short version. Used to weight cca. 8 oz. We went through a few, each lasting cca.

Used this same panel +10 Ah PB on the JMT August 2019 nobo. http://jmt2019.de/?page_id=51 This year I am on the PCT, started 3 weeks ago at the Mexican border, with a very similar panel and 10 Ah PB.

5 years with Lixada here :) I use external battery case with my iPhone ( so charge that instead of the phone ) and charge inReach on the lunch breaks and at the camps. The only fixture I did is to

Regarding charging of phones with solar panels, there has been a lot of past feedback that charging phones directly from solar panels can be problematic. An issue that was raised repeatedly for

Though my Big Agnes Q-Core is somewhat heavier than what has been suggested, I do like the fact it is 3" thick, quiet, and with my large inflator, I can have the pad ready in about 2

I used the old, noisier version of the Thermorest XLite and loved it. I believe they have a newer version out which supposedly sounds less like sleeping on a bag of Doritos chips. I was so tired at
