That's looking really nice!

There has been a lot of discussion over in the sleeping bag thread about this. Here is a new place for it to live. I'm particularly interested in lightweight tents. I have an older GoLite tent 2-person right now. At around 4 lbs, it is not really worthy of the GoLite name, but it has been a...

Steve, Please expand on this. Do you have some single and double wall tents, or are some of them tarp tents without complete coverage from wind? I've got an old golite that breathes very well, but isn't the warmest. I'd like to find something warm and light for 4-season camping. I guess we...

This makes a huge difference on the effectiveness of your iron/gun. I believe it also affects how long the tips last. I'll expand in case you are not sure what to do. If you don't have a soldering station with cleaning stuff built in, some copper mesh (like a chore girl, if they still use...

The smaller electronics you get to working on, the better soldering iron you will appreciate. My personal preference is Hakko. Kindof like the Snap-On of soldering irons. They have adjustable heat output and lots of interchangeable tips in different sizes. I have an older non-digital version...

I can probably be there next Thursday. Unless I'm reading it wrong, this Thursday is in Kanab...

Adding a jake usually means new head(s) - not usually a cheap or easy thing unless you find a deal. For all semi parts, I've had pretty good luck with Vriens truck parts (www.vrienstruckparts.com) over on Beck Street. Looks like they have a bunch of stuff listed online nowadays. For used...

Back to the Goblin Valley dufuses. I don't want them in jail sucking up more of my tax dollars to accomplish absolutely nothing. I want them spending their money and time doing whatever they can to right this wrong.

Perfect trail and pace last night, Steve! You were moving as fast as I wanted to go. There was just enough new snow to make it fun and give us a workout. I'm a little stiff this morning. If I keep this up every week, i'll be in great shape for hiking season!

Great! You name the time and place.

Too bad, Steve. Let me know if anyone else wants to go tonight. Where is the best place locally to buy snowshoes for kids?

I'm open to anything. I could be at the trailhead as early as 5. It would probably be nice to be done by 10.

Steve, Just let me know when and where you are thinking. I brought my gear with me to work. Hopefully we can get others to join in.

I'd be in for snowshoeing tonight. Tomorrow night I've got an overnighter with the young men and then off to Phoenix for the weekend. Not to hijack thread, but anyone know of cool trails/canyons close to Phoenix?

I've been using these guys for the last few sets of tires. They have been really good to work with and take care of any problems.

Either way, I think you will be ok if you have bills of sale for each transaction. I've found our DMVs to be pretty reasonable as long as you can show what happened with legal docs.

I have one other daypack that is growing on me. It is an old Vaude Lasona 25. It has a tramp back so it is cool in the heat. I bought it used as a canyoneering pack to beat up, but it is so comfortable, I have been using it for a lot of hikes lately. My only complaint is it has glued seams...

Ended up going up North Willow Canyon yesterday. There really wasn't enough snow to use snowshoes, so we just hiked around and explored up along the river. Good to get out, but can't wait for next weekend's storm. Here is a pretty grim view of the inversion from the Stansbury benches...

I have a friend out here who is a pretty active packrafter, but I've never tried it.

I can't make it out hiking with Steve tonight, but I do think I've convinced my 13 year old to do a little snowshoeing tomorrow. Probably head up South Willow Canyon in the AM. FYI: Liberty Mountain is having a snow shoe sale at their warehouse outlet in Sandy. 40% off one pair, 50% off two...
