    JetBoil Helios?

    hmm, i don't trust my skills in fashioning my own pressurized fuel canisters! really, no places to buy the canisters in bulk? I'll let people know how the stove works.

    JetBoil Helios?

    Also, how do people purchase fuel canisters economically? I probably spend 80+ days a year in the backcountry and have normally used a Whisperlite. I doubt I would ever use a canister stove exclusively, but would like to have the option and would like to purchase several fuel canisters at one...

    Edmonton to Jackson, WY by bike

    I'm thinking through West Yellowstone. We'll be dropping two other friends off at the airport in Missoula. I'm still open to route changes and will probably stick with the AC route, unless I have good reason to go elsewhere.

    Backcountry Camping between 112&Gordon Pond

    Thanks, Becca. That's what I'm worried about is just getting going on Gordon Pond. Was there still much signage? Anybody else been on Gordon Pond? Any camping on that stretch of Kinsman Ridge? Thanks!

I am going to take some notes from the Glacier thread here, but I am looking for more suggestions, especially in terms of camping, must-do hikes for...

    Backcountry Camping between 112&Gordon Pond

    I am planning a trip for a group on the Kinsman Ridge Trail and wondering what the prospects are for backcountry camping off the Kinsman Ridge Trail between 112 and Gordon Pond. We would be moving slowly and spending the second night at Eliza Brook. Anybody have any experience in this area...

    Recommendations near Hanover

    Good stuff here. Many thanks. David, can you say a bit more about Nunnemacher? We'll bring water and plan on melting snow, too. Sleeping area? Kitchen stuff? Anything to get a sense of what we need to bring or not bring would help. Thanks!

    Ecuador Weather Forecasts

    Thanks, Yeah, I'd looked at the basic city forecasts. I know there are sites for high elevation forecasts or at least ones with all the models to make your own forecasts. I remember looking at some great forecasting sites in an avalanche class. Will be going to the standard Ecuador peaks...

    Type of Cord for Ultralight Tarps

    Just purchased a GoLite Ultralite 4 for a bike tour I will be leaving for on Thursday. Want to check out the dimensions tonight and set it up out back, but wanted to see what people recommended for cordage. I have used the basic parachute cord before and find that it stretches way too much...

    Mountain Madness

    This one took my breath away for a while. My friend spoke highly of Christine having done a WFR recert or some such course with her. Sounded like a wonderfully driven, graceful woman. What a shame.

    Amazing rescue

    I saw this on ESPN and could not believe that it did not get more attention. I am hoping it gets some more press. Made me even more inconsolable about not currently having a dog! I lived in that area for a few years and have run/biked in that exact spot dozens of times. She has quite a...
