    Pull-up Bars

    The Stud Bars look great, but are pretty pricey. I was at Sport Chalet today and ended up picking up a door mount bar for $30. Works good so far. I think I will eventually have someone make me a bar that I can hang in the garage that will be similar to the Stud Bar. Thanks for the input...

    Pull-up Bars

    So the door mount ones don't leave rub marks or drop when you're half way up? That's probably the reason I wouldn't want to use one.

    Pull-up Bars

    Does anybody have any recommendations for a pull-up bar for my house? I'm looking for one to swing into the door frame , but I don't know if they are worth it. I do have room in the garage to mount one to the ceiling if anyone knows if a good brand/type. Thanks guys, JoshM

    Pack for an eight year old

    Thanks for the responses guys! I did some more research and measured his torso length. He is at 10" now. The Deuter 30 looks good and will adjust between 10-17". I think that should give him at least two or three years. It sounds like my thinking was right about weight. Glad to see others are...

    Pack for an eight year old

    Does anybody have any good recommendations for a decent hiking pack for an eight year old? I plan on taking my son hiking this year and need some advise. I don't even know how much he can/should carry. I figure about 5lbs? Maybe just some freeze dried dinners and a water bladder or his sleeping...

    Stone Glacier vs Kuiu

    I just placed my order with Stone Glacier minutes ago. I was in the same boat and went with SG. Mostly for two reasons: 1)Everyone has only said good things about SG while nobody has been able to test the Kuiu 2)The materials in SG look like they can take more punishment. And it may just be...

    Sierra designs? Good/bad

    I used a Light Year for about three years and it held up great. I just switched to a Marmot EOS 1 for the side entry and a vestibule. The Light Year is semi side entry I guess you could say, but only has enough room to keep your boots dry. My EOS has slightly more room for a stove and boots...

    Lowa renagade vs. Solomon quest

    Broken Compass, I was in your same position a month ago. I had gift certificates that were burning a hole in my pocket and I needed a new pair of boots for this year. I ended up buying the Solomon's. And I was looking at the exact same boots you are. I went with the Quests because they fit...

    Narrowed sleeping pad's down to 2... Vote now!!!

    My hunting partner and I were just discussing those two. I have the regular BA which only has a value of 1 so I too am wondering if the Neo would be noticeable or if I should go straight to the BA QCore even though it weighs only 3ou less than mine. I hope to hear some feedback.

    Backpacking with Back Injury?

    All great advise guys. Thank you. You didn't jack my thread Hardstalk and I feel your pain too. My son just turned one and it's not cool when picking him up. Thanks for taking the time to post Mike7. ElkHunter, your advise is exactly what the trainer at my gym keeps saying. He thinks my hips...

    Backpacking with Back Injury?

    Thanks guys. I have been stretching and rolling my back since I pulled it. I will probably go in to see the doc just to check it out. Tylenol helps, but this pain sucks and will just hit me out of nowhere. I've been an electrician for 15 years and wearing my bags probably started the whole...
