Coleman made a foray into the white gas backpacking stoves in the 90's. I read a very positive review and bought one. Really, I wasn't disappointed. Broad solid base, wide flame, stable pot stand, widely variable flame. What you would expect from Coleman. The emphasis is on functionality, not state-of-the-art tech. I took it on one trip and just didn't get comfortable with the fuel delivery system, which appears to me to be identical to the MSR Whisperlite system. If I'd seen the current crop of youtube videos on the Coleman stove, I might have been more patient with it. Anyway, almost new, free to you. I just ask you to pay shipping. photo attached

FREE! NEW (unused) The best boots I’ve ever owned. I have a pair of Asolo Ridge boots, the second pair of them I’ve owned. They are all-but new. I bought them on eBay from a man who tried them out in his local park and didn’t like the fit. Other than trying them on in the house, I never took them outside. The first pair of these I owned took me down the JMT and on numerous week-long Sierra trips. I found them perfect for the x-country jaunts I loved. They provide a firm foundation for talus, snowfields, and other uncertain footing. I felt confident that I wouldn’t sprain an ankle miles from the nearest trail. I even had them resoled once. When I saw another identical pair on eBay, I bought them. But I never really wore out the first pair, so I never used the second pair. They are size 11.5. Original MSRP was $280. The soles are solid lugged Vibram. (The only caveat I have is that some soles eventually tend to separate these days. I never had that problem with my first pair, and the soles on this pair appear to be solidly bonded. I had both of a pair of Merrells delam within 200 yds. Must have been their time.) Should that happen, they could be re-glued by one of a number of companies who do that. Photos attached. I only ask that you pay shipping for them. Pete

I haven't posted any messages like this. Hope I'm doing it correctly. Please comment if something is amiss. --------- Free Optimus Svea stove(s) + Sigg Tourist Cook Set I’m clearing out my gear bins as my backpacking days draw to a close. I’m just hoping to place things with someone who can and will put them to good use. You only pay shipping charges. Optimus still sells the Svea 123, much to my amazement. A new one on Amazon is ~$135. Yikes! This includes two (2) Optimus Svea 123 stoves. One is well-used and loved. The other is a gift from a friend years ago that hasn’t seen the trail but I might have started it up in the backyard. Use the new one and save the old one for a spare or parts. I used this stove on 2 JMT thru-hikes, 1 Tahoe-Yosemite thru-hike, and many hikes in between and thereafter. Yes, it’s heavier than the current ultralights. But you’ll find it to be ‘bombproof’ and totally trustworthy. Caveat: These stoves have been stored in the garage for many years. I'm assuming that hasn't affected them. Do you dread warming a half-full gas container between your legs in your sleeping bag on a frigid morning (or at high elevation)? Not a problem with the Svea. It uses white gas that you pressurize as appropriate for conditions. A pump is included to make starting easier. A special fuel refill cap is required to accommodate the pump, which the old stove has. If you need a fuel bottle, I have one to throw in. The Sigg Tourist cook set is really nifty. It has a base, a windscreen, 2 pots and lid, and a pot grabber. It all nests compactly. I replaced the large pot and lid with a stainless steel one somewhere along the way. The other pieces are aluminum. See photos attached. First to holler gets the lot. I won’t “part it out”. You’ll find any number of reviews and “odes to my Svea” postings online. photos attached Pete Klein

Just tried to reserve shuttle tkts from Mammoth Mtn Inn down to Devils Postpile/Red's Mdw for mid August. No go at the moment. Right now the road is being worked on so they're playing it by ear. I can see that, rn at the end of May. I was calling about Aug though. Sounds like the script they give the phone answerers implies they dk if it will open at all this Summer. Couldn't quite figure out if they were referring to the shuttle being avail (or no) or the road being physically closed (at what point along the road) or no. Anyone have any insight to this? Or know what entity makes the (1) road and (2) shuttle decisions? Planning to hike NOBO from TH AA10 to Happy Isles - August - but sort of need to get down there..... Shuttle or pvt pty, don't care of course. Guess it's the road situation itself we'll be most concerned with... tyia

Hi, I noticed that there's a new 2022 Copyright version of this map (the last Copyright was 2014). Does anyone know what got updated (if anything) in the 2022 version? The website does not provide these details: https://www.natgeomaps.com/ti-1001-john-muir-trail

Of the following pictures the first 3 were taken a couple days before July 4th 1983. I was on Kibbie Ridge on the northwest border of Yosemite at an elevation of 7000 ft. Snow in the trees was about 3 feet deep. All the areas without snow had small creeks running through them. The Fourth picture was taken in 1996 at the end of August on the eastern side of Mt Lassen at 8000 ft, another bad snow year. If you've ever driven through Mt Lassen you've seen Lake Helen near the Mt Lassen Peak trailhead. It never thawed out that year. There was a guy nearby doing telemark skiing. The manager at the Sacramento REI wanted to hire me in 1996 but business was so bad that year since few people went backpacking due to the snow. In order for anyone to do much backpacking this year it needs to get hot, and stay that way to melt the snow. 1996 is the year Cheryl Strayed tried hiking the PCT and skipped over much of the Sierras like a lot of others did.
