It looks like Osprey discontinued the Lumina. They do still offer the Eja in 58 and 48. Also I recommend some of the eastern Sierra shops for ultralight packs, as they actually do keep some in

Thank you all for your input. The inReach Mini is a done deal for communication. For packs, thank you to the input on women-friendly packs. ?I am going to check out the REI Flash 55 since that is a

Regarding PLB/communication devices, I'd echo what has already been posted. ?The Garmin inReach Mini seems like the way to go. ?I got a Garmin inReach SE as I wanted more of the GPS features on the

I love my ULA Catalyst and, to your point, I had some holes in the bottom worn through during a scree scramble in the Ruby mountains and they repaired it at a very reasonable price. If they have a

Harman Hoek crossed it in September. It’s on his beautiful video.

About that 30 day return policy. Most of the cottage industry people stand behind their stuff to an incredible degree. I tore a big pocket on my UL Catalyst years after I bought it and ULA repaired

Hi Inga, Not directly related to the original question, but HMG packs are sold at REI. At times I have seen them stocked at my local store in Folsom CA. I have no experience with that brand, but

I also plan on fording the river if possible. In Far Out there are several comments at SOBO mm 111.7 indicating that hikers were crossing about 0.1 miles north of where the bridge was. Also, a cairn

I have no comment on packs other than to say fit and preference is highly individual. I make my own packs and am on version 4. I changed to the in reach messenger this year, but have not used it yet.

In my humble opinion, ultralight packs are not for everyone. YMMV. When I switched to Mariposa and had to cut down weight, I was not comfortable on the trail. I ran into situations where my tent was

I love my Gossamer Gear Mariposa and you are correct--the UL companies are cottage industry and don't sell through REI. They usually have a 30-day return policy. I like Zoleo for satellite messenger

My wife is 5'4" and curvy. She loves her Osprey Lumina 60. Same great suspension as other Osprey packs she's loved, but much lighter materials and fewer bells and whistles. She tried the Mariposa and

I used the ULA catalyst for my 2 JMT hikes. It easily carried the Weekender (Wild Ideas) bear canister horizontally & the Blazer vertically. I had all my gear inside in waterproof sacks (HMG pods) +

I hiked the JMT with a ULA Ohm 2.0 (old Robic fabric, 2017 model) and have really loved that pack - except: bear canister. It feels too tight a fit for me, and on the JMT I hiked with food in a DCF

I love your question bc I sometimes feel like the shorties get ignored in the outdoor world!? For reference, I'm female, 5'2", 125-ish (sometimes you have a bad day), 32C, narrow hips. I have many

(Sorry if this ends up being a double post. I think I accidentally didn't successfully post the first time!) As a fellow shortie, I really love your question! As context, I'm 5'2", 126-ish most

Thanks for the huge vote of confidence on the In-Reach Mini, Aaron. ?It sounds like they have come a long way from the one I had seen with a friend about 6 years ago. ?If somebody has used other

Re: Garmin and similar devices, I can say that I have a Garmin InReach Mini and have used it on many trips including the JMT and it has overall proven to be one of my favorite single pieces of

Hi All: I am planning my first thru-hike and will be replacing my Gregory Deva 60 with something lighter. ?I will also be getting some sort of minimal communication system to be able to let family

I crossed alone the first week of September last year. I crossed right below the CCC camp where workers were dismantling the old bridge and it was thigh high. I’m 5’-5”. After I crossed, I
