    Socks

    I use compression socks when the weather requires a tall/warm sock: https://www.duluthtrading.com/store/mens/mens-underwear/mens-socks/12280.aspx These go on sale from time to time and I get a couple. They last plenty long. These for warm weather in trail runners...

    Standing Room Tents Family Cabin: It attaches to your 10' x 10' canopy

    My EZ-Up came with walls; works great. Had it in 55 mph winds around Christmas time. The Walls velcro to the top and zip together around the perimeter. Then they velcro around the legs. One zippered door, no windows.

    LED Headlights - heated, or not...

    The Hellas work quite well. But, if you like them, you'd probably like a Cibie better.

    ice alternatives for coolers?

    The problem I had with my solar panels was location. We park in the shade but need sun ---- and the sun pokes through the trees in different spots through the day. So you have to keep moving the panels. But you're off hiking and aren't there to move them. So they're in the shade most of the...

    ice alternatives for coolers?

    I run dual 122 ah batts in the trailer. Gotta understand that it can be 95 degrees and 99% humidity around here at times. In the early spring or late fall. At altitude.

    ice alternatives for coolers?

    I use 6 Ice Brix in a 52 qt Ozark Trails rotomolded cooler when we'll be out for 5 days or fewer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DE2NHIS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I pre-chill by packing the cooler a few days ahead of time and rotating Brix. They'll last over a week in...

    LED Headlights - heated, or not...

    JW Speaker has two rectangular LED headlights on the market right now with heated lenses and will release a heated 7" round sometime in the future (soon, I hope). I'm still running their prototype 8700-J lamps and we had a 22 hour wet snow event recently. I drove about 25 miles at...

    Crowd Sourcing - winter jacket/shirt

    Crowd Sourcing - winter jacket/shirt

    The Special 6 jacket appeals to me. I volunteer for SAR in my county and nobody gets lost in the mountains unless it's cold and rainy.... The sizing doesn't look particularly friendly for a tall guy that lifts weights though. I've sent them a query about sizing. I'm 6'5" and built like a pro...

    Columbia's Star Wars line up

    How about the Jacket Han wore on Hoth? That's gotta be warm. I already have the white silk scarf laying around somewhere from my motorcycle years.

    Columbia's Star Wars line up

    No Star Wars fans? ....I think the line is silly but I also think it will sell like crazy.

    Wind Proof Jacket for -20 conditions

    Different items in different places. It's a rare thing these days to find an affordable jacket that isn't made in Asia. I'll take a look at the label on my Superior jacket when I get home. That thing's been keeping me toasty for about a decade now.
