    Would anyone like to do a pack in bivy camp with some of the founders of this site?

    I had to vote "yes" but with a (if I lived closer) disclaimer. My Unfortunate geographic location has me somewhat limited. I will be in CO over the 4th of July for a few weeks though. Sounds like a great idea for guys to learn and see some different gear in action. Could be a good way to fine...

    Plastic Boots?

    Yeah, plastic boots might be a bit much. La Sportiva makes some great mountaineering boots for the price. These would offer you great support and piece of mind...

    Help with a new me

    Stay determined as things take some time. Don't get frustrated if in a few weeks you haven't seen a huge change. I've seen other people expect life changing results in a month. 6-12 months is probably a better time line. One thing I tell people all the time is about their food choices outside...

    question for the elk hunters

    I'm in the same boat as littlebuf. There's nights where it takes an hour or more post sunset to get back to camp, another half hour to eat, set out gear for the morning, repack the food supply....... by the time that is done it's way past lights out time. Probably pushin 10 pm. 3:30-4:00 am...

    Cheapest way to save weight on a backpack hunt!

    3dhunter, there is so much truth to what you just said. Most guys don't know until they start to see the light. Then again, it is fun buying new gear.

    Alcohol Stoves

    Never used one, quite honestly I had to google it. I do use a windscreen not shown in the pic above. A windscreen is a must for one of these stoves out in the open.

    Cheapest way to save weight on a backpack hunt!

    I know you were somewhat joking but another thing to consider here is your total weight with pack and gear. Say you weigh 230lb with a 40lb pack, total gross weight of 270lb. You could spend money till there is no more to get to 250lbs gross weight or just lose 20lbs. The more total gross weight...

    Alcohol Stoves

    I've only used my Bios down into the upper 20's. It seemed to work ok. When I bought mine they $15 a piece, so I bought 2. I'll admit, some of his other stoves are quite pricey but for a no frills, gotta boil water heat source, $20 ain't bad. Use the thing a couple times and you save half of...

    Rokslide 2012 Extreme Challenge

    I might be up for this. I am making the trek from WI over the 4th of July to climb some 14ers. I have another week of vacation to tack onto it but I was leaning towards the week after the 4th, maybe I'll make it the week prior. I will be camping near Buena Vista and also over near Aspen, so...

    Alcohol Stoves

    It slipped my tiny little brain at the time of my post above but I did use this stove on top of Quandary last summer while waiting for the sun to rise. Temps in the upper 20's with high winds at over 14K and it did the job for a nice warm cup of coffee. What I've noticed with the alcohol stoves...

    Alcohol Stoves

    This guy here makes some killer alcohol stoves. https://www.minibulldesign.com/productcart/pc/home.asp I've got a couple of the aluminum beer bottle (BIOS 1) stoves and have used them at 12k+. They might be a little slower than some other stoves but at 29 grams how can you go wrong. An...
