    My Pack Is Too Heavy: Woe Is Me!

    "found myself sitting in Pamplona cutting tags off of underwear" LOL now this IS good. You sound like an AT ultralight tramper sometimes referred to as a "gram weenie"... been there done that..

    My Pack Is Too Heavy: Woe Is Me!

    You know after following your hiking shoe dilemma and now the pack weight dilemma I'll bet your feet won't even be touching the ground when you hit Santiago, which I know you will. I'm placing my bets on you.

    My Pack Is Too Heavy: Woe Is Me!

    Wayyyyyyy back in the day when I hiked the AT with the class of '93 I didn't have internet, hardly any resources and knew not what I was getting into. I think I took at least 2 prs. of Levis, a very heavy Slumberjack synthetic sleeping bag, a Coleman gas stove, you name it. I left with my...

    Okay, I'm outta here. I have exhausted/spent all my sleeping bag knowledge. LOL Good luck mate and try not to go too crazy in the selection process like blokes like me do.

    Advice On Sleeping Bag Alternative Please

    Being overwhelmed by hiking equipment is the curse of the tramper. Seems like I settle on one piece, yup, that's it. That's my choice and I'm sticking with it. Only to have a cup of coffee, change my mind and get back on the computer. The amazon, no hassle return policy has been a godsend for...

    Advice On Sleeping Bag Alternative Please

    You can always have someone in the US order one for you and ship it to you. I don't think it'll add a hell of a lot to the total $$.

    Advice On Sleeping Bag Alternative Please

    I like them (EE) because of the verticle baffle design. Keeps the down in place much better than the horizontal baffle designs. I had a Jacks r Better with the horizontal baffles, about the same price as the EE and hated it. I hiked here in the south in very damp weather, the bag never did get...

    I second that. I have purchased a bunch of bags in the past and I believe that the EE is the best.

    Advice On Sleeping Bag Alternative Please

    I'm taking the Aegismax cheapo with me as if it gets damaged/stolen whatever then I'm not out that much. Plus I really don't think it's all that heavy... maybe 26 oz or so?? You're not going to get much less than that with one costing 3-4 times as much but to each their own.

    Advice On Sleeping Bag Alternative Please

    If you want quality and lightness and don't mind the price too much then I would go with an Enlightened Equipment bag as someone has already mentioned. The only thing is they usually have about a one month backlog but do offer a limited selection of "off the shelf" bags. Being that this is a...

    Advice On Sleeping Bag Alternative Please

    I bought this down bag on ebay after buying several others on amazon and sending them back almost immediately. I bought the one with 500gms of down and it does open up flat. Bargain price of $69.00 Check it out...

    Pants Falling Down?

    The only way they will pinch or form a hard point is if they line up with the back straps or whatever. Mine never seem bother me. The caribeaners hook thru the belt loops so it's almost impossible for them to come undone...

    Pants Falling Down?

    The only time I had any unplanned exposures was in my pre suspender days... you know trying to make it into the back door with two handfuls of groceries ...suddenly the pants slip some... you try to spread your legs apart some to help keep them up..but no.. you make it to about the garage door...

    Pants Falling Down?

    I don't notice any "hard spots" on my back or bony areas, they don't seem to line up on top of each other. BTW I wear them all the time esp when working around the place on various projects ofmine.
