| not sure, it's in the mountains, so you get the benefit of elevation. Forecast is showing 60s and 70s for highs, lows mid 40s to mid 50s you're probably good through most of May found this: quote: This post was edited on 4/23 at 3:42 pm Reply • Back to Top |
quote:So with the one with out the opening at the top, you just rinse it out really good when going back to clean water? or once you put dirty water in it you always filter? Reply • Back to Top |
quote:Yes. Clean the threads. quote:Once water goes in my bladder, it's either getting sucked through a filter for drinking while walking, or poured into a pot to be boiled for meals. Less threads is better to combat Giardia, less pieces to break is better, less holes/smaller hole is better for less spilling too. Reply • Back to Top |
| Howl long does that filter last? Reply • Back to Top |
| Forever. You just backflush and clean it every once in a while. Never cleaned mine. Reply • Back to Top |
| did you use a footprint for your UL 1? also, is it a free standing tent? Reply • Back to Top |
quote:Yup quote:Yup  I would never buy a tent that wasn't freestanding.Reply • Back to Top |
| did you bring a small pillow on the AT or does the down work good enough? Reply • Back to Top |
quote:I did at first but sent it home to save weight. I just rolled up my jacket when it was warm or rain shell when it was cold and put it under the head area of my sleeping bag as a pillow substitute. Reply • Back to Top |
| Kind of a hijack, but where do you stand on the "wearing your clothes to bed" debate; wearing little clothing vs wearing a lot? I think I end up stayin warmer wearing less. More comfortable too, since room is limited in a bag. I do find wearing my wool hat helps a lot when trying to stay warm. Of course, the next mornings clothes go in the foot of the bag to try to warm them a little Reply • Back to Top |
| Only wear what I have to. I'd prefer just boxers. However, I've been stuck in snow storms with every piece of clothing I own on my body and zipped up; raincoat, multiples of the same article, etc. That's when you put your bottle of boiling water inside the bag under your feet.

| sorry to interrupt, but its official, im moving to Denver.. GF didnt get the job in Dallas, so midway through the summer we are moving... cant wait to get outside in Colorado... anywhere yall recommend hiking first once we settle down? close to denver? i know ive been jabbering on and on about moving but its finally official, so im excited, sorry Reply • Back to Top |
| Hike the Peak and back, it's not far from Denver. Good luck, that area is nice. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: there are like 50 peaks.... which specific one? we intend to hike a 14er within the first year of being there Reply • Back to Top |
| Probably means Pikes Peak. Reply • Back to Top |
| gotcha Reply • Back to Top |
| try Mt. Evans (closest 14er to Denver). that should be fun. Congrats on moving to arguably the most outdoor friendly city in America. I'm so jealous its unreal. Piney woods are nice and all, but calling 450 ft "high elevation" gets old. This post was edited on 4/24 at 8:32 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| I want to summit Driskol Mt (not sure how to spell it) this summer. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
