TrailSavvy: Gear Review: Osprey Exos 46 Backpack
http://www.trailsavvy.net/2012/09/gear-review-osprey-exos-46-backpack.html
MYOG(Make Your Own Gear). Monday, September 3, 2012. Gear Review: Osprey Exos 46 Backpack. Image property of Osprey Packs Inc. The first of these is my first "lightweight" backpack. The Osprey Exos Series Packs. Have been around since at least 2009. That's when I purchased mine from REI. I was looking to reduce the weight of my "big 3" even back then. I had no idea of being an ultralighter, but my frame backpacks were 6 lbs. and 8 lbs. Something had to give. Will posing, as only Will can do. Thank you fo...

TrailSavvy: March 2011
http://www.trailsavvy.net/2011_03_01_archive.html
MYOG(Make Your Own Gear). Wednesday, March 30, 2011. I was impressed with how easy to talk to they (nearly) all seemed to be. It was interesting to hear their stories. Each of us had our favorites, but we are pulling for each of them to finish the trail. And we were all insanely jealous to only be on the trail with them for a week, when they get all summer. Links to this post. Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Trip Planning; Evolution of an idea. Very little communication. Independent research. Scopa calls the N...

TrailSavvy: December 2011
http://www.trailsavvy.net/2011_12_01_archive.html
MYOG(Make Your Own Gear). Monday, December 26, 2011. I'm piggybacking a great post from Hendrik Morkel at HikinginFinland.com. I am usually loathe to do such a thing, but he actually encouraged me to. Well, it's a post, and not just a comment. In Hendrik's post, he actually did some analysis on the efficiency of menu planning without a stove. Weight vs. weight. What could be gleaned from this very un-scientific analysis? Yes It has been proven. By a guy with 2 thumbs. This guy! Where can I get my hike in...

TrailSavvy: October 2011
http://www.trailsavvy.net/2011_10_01_archive.html
MYOG(Make Your Own Gear). Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Legends trip to the Bob. Jake backed up against the Rockies. Said he, "Let's do the Chinese Wall". We each went to work trying to arrange the trip. I was disappointed to find that he wouldn't be able to take leave(he's USAF) until mid-September. Bummer. By then, the southern heat would be dissipating. I mean, that's the beginning of Ozark-ian prime season. Too late. I'd already made up my mind. What gear would we need to purchase? About mile number 1...

Colorable Life: mei 2009
http://colorablelife.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Maandag 25 mei 2009. Terra Nova Laser Competition Ventilation Mod. First of all, I hate this tent. Like many of you I’ve bought it because of its weight. Having an akto there is certainly a weight gain, but also a big frustration gain. Every time I pitch it I wonder what is wrong. Even on a straight grass field the fly isn’t straight. There’s no ventilation at all, which is warm when it’s cold but also results in a lot of condensation in the morning. But the venting option can be improved. It could be wi...

Colorable Life: Fishing Line
http://colorablelife.blogspot.com/2009/06/fishing-line.html
Woensdag 10 juni 2009. I was surprised however to see a roll of Tyvek. For 3,95 Euro per meter it’s not cheap but I bought some to do some experiments to see if the quality is good. I’ve read so much about this but could only get it in rolls of 50 meters or more. So kite stores might be a good source for Tyvek. In between all of this, I found braided dynema line. 0,15 mm thin with a breaking strength of 11,1 kilo. And there is 0,25 mm as well with an even greater breaking strength. Golite Hex / Shangri La.

Colorable Life: The Kite Knot
http://colorablelife.blogspot.com/2009/06/kite-knot.html
Zaterdag 6 juni 2009. With the work i did today (which i will write about soon) on the Laser Competition i used this knot to attach the side guy lines. In fact it's a combination of a Figure Eight and a Lark's head or (cow hitch). In the world of backpacking and hinking this knot is not very well known, at least that what i think when i see lightweight hikers on you-tube fiddeling around with their tarps and guy line setups. While te uses of this knot are plenty. Abonneren op: Reacties plaatsen (Atom).
