New Jacket

December 27th, 2008 No comments

Just got my mitts on a new ultralight backpacking jacket from the Outdoor Research Outlet in Seattle.   The OR Celestial jacket weighing in at a nice 10oz should do the trick for our upcoming TGO Challenge hike in Scotland.

 

Lunar Duo on the way

December 21st, 2008 2 comments

I’ve been researching tent options for our upcoming TGO trip in May.   I’d settled on the Lunar Duo from Six Moon’s designs after some in depth research on the BPL forums.    I ordered it seam sealed with an extra Tyvec footprint.  Should be here before Christmas in time for a dry run to see how it handles winter snow conditions from the safety of my yard.
