The 60 will taper , I would go for the Regular 72"

Larry best to have the middel pole to the inside. When you stake the tent out it should go to the ground you also stake out points by where the middle poles go in.

Yes on the front doors. The fly will cover the mesh on the sides for privacy.

Your going to get a lighter tent, more mesh for venting and seeing the stars. And the sidewalls are morevertical giving you more usable space and space to sit up in.

My personal experience with ‘single leather’ mtn boots above 6km is not advisable. If you are ‘fast and light’ you can get away with it in the warmer months/regions, and with the use of liner socks and a vapor barrier. But even then if you get stopped or slowed due to issues you are going to suffer. And in -30 forget keeping your toes if you are forced to spend a night in your boots.

I would bump it up to the Phantom 6k, and the advantage of the removable (hence dryable) liner… and extra warmth. These boots still WAY out perform regular plastic double boots for walking and tech climbing.

These gel tube are concentrated can be used in a machine just use less. Make sure your using Base wash just for undergarmets and wicking layers not outer shells tech wash is the best for that.

David this stove will work with all EPI threaded canisters , MSR, Snowpeak, Jetboil, primus. I would suggest that you buy from Backountry as you will recieve the support from them. Like this information . Ebay is not going to give that to you. These guys at BC are great you should support them. I don't work for them , but a satisfied customer.

cool and air conditioner ! this is a four season tent that body does seal up so this should keep the Cool air in .

Nan,
Kirk The Nikwax rep here. I would agree with washing the tnt in Tech Wash. Then you may treat with te UV proof and you will be good to go.

Yes they will have a similar fit they are both unlined shoes so you should be good the Scarpa's do come Euro Size though. A size 9 us would be 42.

I would suggest the Big House 6 from Big Agnes. Los of space realitively lightweight for your horses.

Matt it does not , the bindings do come with instructions though.

Glenn,
G3 does make a solid probe that you can get to that length however it is heavy (made for industrial use )not some thing that you want to be carrying everyday.

Charmoz does have a more rigid sole but smears just fine. The upper is not as rigid , and has flex zones in the ankle area. You alos realy like the weight , its really light for the type of boot.

Cassie,
This would be a close fit to the Nitro that you had. I would also suggest the Scarpa Zen if Goretex is not a concern.

Jacob,
These are more of a Medium fit. if your really wide they are probaly going to be a little tight for you.

Igor. I would agree and disagree with Vern. All compressed cartride canisters loose efficency in colder temps because the rely on outside ambient heat to create the Chemical reaction inside the fuel canister. If you traveling abroad you have no choice but to use a canister stove as Airlines will not let you take Liquid fuel stoves on the plane. Liuid fuel stoves leave residual fuel in the line where compressed fuel stoves do not. the trick to the cartridge stove is to keep the canister warm in a jacket or sleeping bag before use and when in use make sure they are nsulated from the ground with a foam pad or such. The PCS have been on the top of everest K2 and many more. Another option is the jetboil Helios which inverts the canister which helps with this issue. Hope this helps.

too tight , Canister will fit if you lookin to keep it warm.

You would be pushing it with a Squirrel. However small rodents like Mice , Voles and if you wanted to mix it up Bats.

The Jetboil stove is the perfect stove for Beans and Rice it was practically made for it !

The natural organic even with benzoic Acid should work fine without damagig the Nylon. Its the deet that you need to be concerned with as it melts nylon. The only thing with oil base repellents as they may collect dirt over time and gunk up the zipper , if you clean your tent everyonce in awhile you should be good to go.

Not likely it will fit, although the 1.5 litere pot that Jetboil makes i have heard works ok.

I have about a b width foot which is medium to narrow. I think the Scarpas would be a good fit for you foot type. Depending on what your looking for my Picks SLM3 for heavy duty backpacking, Mustang GTX or Kalash Gtx for a more mid duty lightwieght backpacking boot.

Yes it can , but you will definately need to take the neoprene cozy off of the pot ( it will melt if flames get to it) the flux ring is durable enough for sure.

The sleeve is only mean for two utensils, howver if yoy have the Frypan it will fit underneath the plate on the bottom. You just need to center it in the middle of the fluxring and snap on the plate.

Ok I will do the best to explain this. Sounds like you figured out the two clips on the front, so the cord lock slides through the attachment point ( loop) on the tent this will allow you to adjust the hieght of the gear loft by sliding the cord lock back and forth. Hope this helped.

Tim,The T2 is an older model if its dark blue, The T2X has been around now for about 4 years and is red. The conversion for a Men's 8.5 is 25.5 mondo.

Liza the new T2x is definately going to be stiffer than the previous model. If your a hair smaller than a 22.5 keep in mind that you will jump a whole shell size down (21.5-22 are the same shell). this may be too small for you, you want to have 1/2 to 3/4 inch space between your heel and the back of the shell when the liners are out, toes touching the front of the shell.

I find that Katanas have a fiar bit of stretch 1 1/2 to 2 sizes they are also a flatter lasted shoe. The rockette is definately more agreesive and wont strecth as much 1/2 to 1 size at the most.

We also make a ski called the aviatrix for women which is the same shape as the baron but comes in smaller lenghts, you may also like the Viva Ski. Its a bit wider so you wil have better float in the powder. My wife is around the same height and weight and skis on a 166.

The G3 saint is an awesome pick for what your looking for. This is based on the Reverend shape but a pound lighter.Holds up well in the area and is nice and light for the hoof uphill. I currently ski a size 177 in this model i am the same weight and Height, we also make a 182 if you want to go a bit longer.

actually this is one of the rectangle bags. thermarest will fit.make sure that the Therma rest is 20" in width and 78" in lenght for long 72" for a regular

This bag has a similar closure to the Yampa as it does not have a hood. However the span at the neck is a bit tighter so its going to cinch up easier and tighter.Hope this helps

Kevin, for your size and weight I would go for the 177. I am 5'9 155 and this is what i ski. I would not go any shorter than that. These are awesome skis you will pleased.

They work in alpine bindings, but you should probably get alpine boots if you're just skiing alpine. AT stands for Alpine Touring, which means that the heel detaches so you can hike up, and the boots in turn sacrifice some of their stiffness to be lighter and easier to hike in. If you're not going to be hiking, get alpine boots.You may also want to look at the Domina from Scarpa this has all the attributes of an alpine boots IE : Din compatible sole. But is comfortable and has a walk mode for touring , and just makes the boot comfortable all around

The Mustang is slightly taller and stiffer than the Kailash.

I do not believe this is fritschi, naxo, duke compatible (David just cross checked with the Scarpa website - only compatible with Dynafit TLT bindings.)This is correct all of the Scarpa Bellow style AT boots will not work with anything but dynafit as they can back flex and pop out of the heel.

Either one would be a good choice but I'd go with the Kailash because of the Gore-Tex lining. It's a better boot for it's waterproof qualities.

It is actually a place to either stuff your clothing in to make a pillow or Big Agnes sells a pillow to slide into that spot.

Hello I have some experience with this tent. I would say you may be tight with 7 kids and you may not be sleeping to well with everyone in the same tent. You may want to try 2 pine Island 4 tents this will get you around the weight you need and you can split the load up and make your older childern sherpa the load.

Hello Scarpa guy here. I woud say the Phantom lite warmest, second summit GTX, third Freney Gtx. Hope this helpsK
