We picked up the My Trail 800 FP Women's Down Hoodie Puffy Jacket. We love the My Trail stuff and having a hoodie is a must have during the winter.

My Trail has men's and women's models, they are different, and make them in 800 or 850 fill power down, in hooded or non-hooded models.

They make the outer fabric out of their windproof 20D fabric which adds to the effect nicely.

The 20 Denier nylon shell and lining, thoughtful construction, and perfect fit, combine to make our Ultralight Down Jackets both lighter and stronger than almost everything in its class.

Semi-relaxed fit and vertical side channels make this 800-fill Ultralight Down Jacket an all-around performance tool on the trail that also looks great in town. The nylon shell makes this an light, durable, wind-proof top layer for summit pushes in all but the most extreme conditions.

Beginning a new tarp project and I will try an break it up into some workable phases. This talk is all about the fabric and the choices available. From Canvas to Cuben DCF, to silnylon and silpoly, and this attributes that make each special and viable options.

Next step in the process

To make a piece of fabric big enough, you need to sew together some fabric. The fabric I am using is 58" wide and I need to double that. In the end I hope to come out with an 11 x 9 foot tarp.

This video is how I join two pieces of fabric together to make one big piece. At the same time I need to sew it so it is strong and as waterproof as possible with just sewing. Later I will seam seal it to finish the waterproofing.

The technique many use is a modified flat-felled seam. It isn't a true flat-felled, but makes a real nice, strong, seam that is perfect for backpacking tarps.

I took the chance to play around with the new ultralight tent, the Big Agnes Tiger Wall UL2. I was super curious with what a semi-freestanding tent worked. I was happy to see it is very doable and is a very good ultralight tent. I would easily take this on a long trip.


The Tiger Wall UL tents are Big Agnes' lightest two door/two vestibule, technical backcountry shelters yet. The two doors make tent life a little easier, and the weight savings is especially nice when out for multi-day trip and gram counting. Combining simple, yet strong single pole architecture with DAC Featherlite materials, interior storage pockets, and comforts around every corner, these tents are poised to be a backcountry favorite.

Features two doors and two vestibules with storm flaps on the vestibule zippers

Dry entry door design keeps the interior of your tent dry as you enter and exit

DAC poles create a strong structure that is light and spacious

Structured foot-end corners create more usable space between your feet and tent wall

Quick Stash door keeper on tent body door makes stowing unzipped door quick and easy

Over-sized ceiling pocket provides great storage space

Media pockets located above sleeping area enable clean ear bud cord routing from phones or other devices

Low Vent feature on the vestibule doors for more air flow while still providing vestibule coverage

Double sliders on the vestibule zippers allows for venting from the top or bottom

Velcro tabs connect fly to pole structure providing perfect pitch and extra stability

Ready to pitch; with pre-cut guy lines and tensioners attached to fly

Making a lightweight rain skirt/rain kilt is super easy. I made a few using the designs of the well known brands and found some areas I though I could improve upon. I found with many of the designs from DIY to premade were made so light that they really didn't function as a rainskirt, rather a tight piece of fabric or dyneema and didn't fall right to do the job. This design also uses on yard of fabric so it is easy to order and little sewing is needed. I also didn't like velcro and omnitape on a piece of gear like this and feel that cam-snaps are a much better closure system.

I have been using this headlamp all summer and couldn't be more impressed. Nitecore obviously has been paying close attention to the needs of backpackers to have designed this headlamp. It has it all: ultralight package that is still comfortable, rechargeable, easy use button selection, rain resistant, multiple red outputs that are easy to get to, ultra low lumen with 4 steps to a max 360 lumen output. It does have the SOS and Beacon functions too. I don't see a need for them, but some do. The only downfall is that I get a reflection off my nose, but I can live with that at the lumen level that I would use for night hiking.



Triple Outputs for Every Task
Get ready for one of the most versatile and compact headlamps NITECORE offers. The NITECORE NU25 headlamp packages three outputs (white/high CRI and red) into an ultra lightweight body you can wear comfortably for hours on end. A primary CREE XP-G2 S3 LED emits up to 360 lumens of light with up to 88 yards throw which can be used for running, cycling, setting up camp and so much more. For up close tasks, reading and photography, there is a secondary high CRI LED which produces a warm 20-lumen beam and renders colors and details better than cool white outputs. Last but not least, the NU25 also features a secondary red LED for preserving night vision, map reading and hunting. There are even three special modes (red caution/SOS/Beacon) for emergencies and signaling!
Easy Dual Switch Controls
Dual switch controls located conveniently on the top of the headlamp control white and red outputs separately and make it easy to switch between all three outputs so you always know what light you're accessing. The NU25 also features a lockout mode to prevent accidental button presses while stored in tight spaces.
Built-in Battery & Charging
The NU25 comes with a built-in 610mAh li-ion battery that offers 30 minutes of runtime on Turbo and up to 160 hours on the lowest setting. Keeping the NU25 is super simple with a built-in micro-USB charging port located on the underside of the unit. Use the included charging cable to plug the light into any USB source and a red indicator light under the control buttons will illuminate. Upon completion, the light will turn green. There's even a battery power indicator so you'll never be caught with low battery again.

I have compiled the data from 436 tents current from North Face, Marmot, REI, Hilleberg, Alps Mountaineering, Big Agnes, Kelty, MSR, Black Diamond, Mountainsmith, Sierra Designs, Nemo, Six Moon Design, Cabelas, Eureka, Exped, Mountain Hardwear, RAB, Fjallraven, Vango, Tarptent and Zpacks. Yes I get obsessive sometimes. Sorry none from Lanshan, Naturehike and the like as they have terrible information.

I broke down every tent, by cost, weight, volume, capacity, season use, and any other particulars that can be objectively looked at.

Let's have some fun and come up with some different scenarios.
