The North Face Venture Jacket - Men's

June 11, 2009

To answer Sean's question, I believe it is the left front pocket. Just look for the pocket that has a zipper pull on the inside and outside of the pocket. Then pull the pocket inside-out and start shoving the rest in.

The North Face Venture Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 11, 2009

Works great, when you remember to bring it. I got caught in a 30 minute downpour and my upper body stayed nice and dry but my lower and pack (turned out to not be waterproof) were soaked. I was so happy with the jacket I bought the pants but have yet to test them.

A genuine bargain

Kelty Gunnison 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Kelty Gunnison 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 5 June 11, 2009

We've had this tent for 3 years now and have been nothing but satisfied. The vestibules have more than room for 2 packs, boots and supplies and you still have plenty of room to get in and out. Inside, there is plenty of room for the 2 of us, including my 6'-2" frame. It doesn't roll up that small when packed, and it is a tad heavy, but for us it was the perfect starter tent. It has been rained on a couple times and we have had no issues with it at all. The bottom is a bit thin; we made our own footprint using plastic sheeting and it has worked great. Plus with the excess plastic we can have "door mat" to keep from tracking in.

Great except for the bag

Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter

Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter

Rating for this product: 4 June 11, 2009

A great, easy to use filter, but in my case the bag to carry it in fell apart after only five 1-2 night trips. The inner material disintegrated and then one end by the zipper started coming un-stitched. But everything else worked great.

If you use a Camelback, I also recommend getting the quick-disconnect adapters for filling (sadly Backcountry doesn't sell them)

Definitely worth it

Therm-a-Rest Trekker Chair

Therm-a-Rest Trekker Chair

Rating for this product: 5 October 26, 2007

This has been the best thing I have bought for backpacking. There is nothing better than being able to relax and sit comfortably with my back supported after a long day of carrying a pack. I should have gotten this a long time ago.

Great pad

Therm-a-Rest Prolite 3 Sleeping Pad

Therm-a-Rest Prolite 3 Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 4 October 26, 2007

Much better than the cheap foam pads we had to get starting out, this actually felt good to sleep on. The only issue is you have to pay extra for the stuff sack. Self-inflating is also a bit misleading, but blowing in 2-3 breaths of air isn't enough of an issue.

Buy this with the Trekker Chair!
