Had planned to hike in 2012 - evaluated lots of gear - and then life intervened, in a good way. It will be awhile before I can again consider a hike, so in the meantime I'm putting all this gear up for sale. Why I didn't return the stuff is a good study in psychology.

At the limit for attached pictures (I think). If there isn't a picture for something you want, send me a private message (PM) and I'll send the other pictures.

Send me a PM and you'll receive an invoice by email. The invoice will give you instructions for sending a payment by PayPal (you don't have to join the service to use it). Shipping will be ground, price determined by size and weight of the box and the destination. I'll notify you with an email when it ships, with tracking number.

Unless noted, everything is new (tags attached), never used (except loaded into a backpack for weight testing), or used once.

Sleeping bags (all extra long):

-5 degree Sierra Designs BTU Dri-Down mummy bag, 800 fill, with weather resistant shell. No way you'll be cold. $200.00
+20 degree North Face Gold Kazoo down mummy bag. Very lightweight. Includes a silk liner. $100.00
+20 degree Cabela Boundary Waters down rectangular bag. Cut the tag off, so I'm going to jail. $100.00
+40 degree Marmot rectangular bag (used <5 times). Silk liner included. $60.00

Sleep pads and air mattresses:

Thermarest TrailLite sleep pad. Not as light as some, but more rugged than most. $50.00
Nemo Astro insulated air mattress, with hand pump (hand little gadget). Don't compare this high-quality product with the ALPS version. $80.00
Hyalite Aero-Therm insulated air mattress. Another advanced technology product, with aerogel insulation. Channel tubes on the sides keep you from rolling off. $80.00
Klymit Static V air mattress. Absolutely light. The chevron channels help keep you warm. $20.00
