I still use my '71 North Face sierra Parka and my '71 NF superlight sleeping bag returned for free replacement in 1987 and ready to be returned again. I have a Chouinard sewing kit I bought in 1970 that goes on every trip and has only been used once in 40+ years of backpacking. My NF Oval Intention still gets used for car camping as does my Optimus 8R stove.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org
