Thing you could give me a link for that cup? I have been looking but the cups I find of that brand look smaller then what you have.

@Norcalbowhunter search for mini solo cookset titanium by snow peak.

how do you protect yourself from all the critters and rodents like squirrels,chipmunks, raccoon, etc..?

[wonderingson]

@Hawkgts I put my food in a stuff sack strug up in a tree. and the bivy i sleep in completely encloses me. Ive only had one problem with a bat one time. flew into my tarp and fluttered around for a minuet and flew back out.

Nice dude. Glad to see western mountaineering make an apperance on one of these UL vids. I checked out golite and looks like a good trap! Check out big agnes clearview for a summer pad its a little lighter. and You should check out steripen, it uses uv light to purify water. I use a MSR hyper flow just because I don't trust anything electronic on LONG trips but I like steripens concept for short ones. Good vid man! Have fun out there!

man my setup is so heavy it sucks i got a alice pack with a walmart sleeping bag, im bout to get a eureka solitaire. But im broke and dont have money for nice gear like that

I'm amazed how much more comfortable I am with a pack thats under twenty pounds with fuel and four quarts of water. It puts my ancient style of backpacking to shame. I used to haul eighty lbs of gear, but slowly I began to lighten the lode and life on the go began to change. Now, ten years later, life on the trail is a wonderful experience. We gotta keep spreading the word. I'm amazed at how resistant people are to change, though, but I keep trying. When someone asks, 'That's your whole pack?'.

dont use a windscreen with a pocket rocket. it turns it into a bomb because the windscreen traps heat by the fuel canister turning it into a bomb!

Nice kit. Very light. What I don't take with me now are the trekking poles. After wearing out three sets and about to purchase a fourth I decided to put off buying them. I don't use 'em at all, now. My hiking speed and enjoyment is more variable and quickly adjusts to conditions without them. I now like it that my hands are free. I'll never go back, probably. I also use a homemade alcohol stove. It's lighter and easier to find fuel and way cheaper. Tekking poles have their place, but not for me.

I like Granite Gear. I like the Vapor Trail.
