London, Sugar & Slavery
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
In the setting of this historic sugar warehouse, the London, Sugar & Slavery gallery reveals how London's involvement in slavery has shaped the capital since the 17th century, and challenges what you think you know about the transatlantic slave trade and long-held beliefs that abolition was initiated by politicians.
Key artefacts in the gallery are the surviving papers of Thomas and John Mills, who owned plantations in St Kitts and Nevis, providing us with glimpses into the lives of both the enslaved and the slaver.
In the gallery you can experience an immersive sound and light show which is projected on the gallery walls every 20 minutes. The experience encourages you to consider enslavement and freedom both in terms of the transatlantic slave trade and what they mean for us all today.

First Port of Empire: 1840 - 1939
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
With the advent of steam power, the volume of trade flowing through London massively increased. More trade meant more docks. Ships were becoming larger as wooden ships gave way to iron. Between 1855 and 1886 a series of new dock complexes were built on both banks of the river.
The gallery explores the life of the docker, with exhibits such as the massive Stevedores' banner commemorating the 1889 Dock Strike. Other subjects include the arrival of the first dock police force
the building of the Great Eastern, one of the world's largest ships
and the Princess Alice disaster - the worst maritime disaster in British history. Paintings and photographs and film bring the richness of the stories to life.

City and River 1820 - 1840
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
The first half of the nineteenth century brought great change to London's river and port. A huge docks complex was built on the Isle of Dogs, new bridges spanned the Thames and a tunnel was dug beneath it. The scale of London's commercial activity grew massively and all those changes are examined in this gallery.
The gallery also examines the whaling trade. At one time London had the largest fleet of whalers in the world and the display includes a selection of nineteenth-century harpoons, a pot for boiling whale blubber to extract the oil and some timber from a nineteenth century whaler.
This was also an age of engineering, with the demolition of the old medieval London bridge and its replacement with a splendid new one designed by John Rennie. Marc Isambard Brunel went further by constructing the first Thames tunnel between Wapping and Rotherhithe. The gallery includes models and original drawings of what was the world's first tunnel under a navigable waterway.

Number 1 Warehouse
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
The Museum of London Docklands is housed in one of only two remaining warehouses erected on the north quay by the West India Dock Company. Originally built in the 1800s by wealthy merchants and slave plantation owners, these magnificent buildings once held great cargoes of sugar, rum and coffee.
Each storey of the building was originally a different height – dictated by the nature of the cargo to be stored. The ground floors were designed to store two tiers of hogsheads of 'clayed' sugar. The upper floors stored a single tier of the heavier hogsheads of muscovado sugar, while the top floors held the lighter cargoes such as coffee, cocoa, cotton and pimento.
The other warehouses were destroyed during the Second World War in September 1940. After the closure of the West India Docks in 1980 the building became derelict. In 2000 work began on restoring and converting the Grade I-listed building for use as a museum.

Warehouse of the World 1840 - 1939
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
Between 1840 and 1939 the sheds and warehouses that lined the river housed every conceivable commodity: spices, drugs, grain, sugar, meat, fruit, coffee, cocoa, tea, wines, spirits, tobacco, shells, furs, feathers, leather, skins, hide, timber, paper, jute, wool, oriental carpets and more.
This gallery gives a flavour of that cornucopia of goods. It features a tobacco weighing station, a recreation of a bottling vault and exhibits about the tobacco, timber, grain and sugar trades.
There is also a 'cabinet of curiosities' packed with commodities. An interactive touch-screen explores the more exotic of these - ivory, turtle shells and ancient curios. An opium pipe, ingeniously hidden in a section of a sailor's bunk, hints at a darker side of overseas trade.

New Port New City 1945 - Present
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
The museum's final gallery focuses on the changes that have transformed the look and feel of this part of East London over the last 60 years.
Beginning in the post war period, the gallery recounts the ups and downs of London's inland docks, culminating in their closure in the 1960s and 1970s. The traumatic events brought physical dereliction, job losses and severe social strains on local communities.
The turbulence continued as Docklands became the site of the largest regeneration project in Europe. The gallery looks at the process of regeneration through the eyes of community activists and developers. The Canary Wharf development and Docklands Light Railway both feature with uniforms, posters, models and ephemera enriching the story of the massive redevelopment.
The development of Docklands over the past 200 years has mirrored the shifting patterns of British trade and economy. Where ocean-going ships delivered people and products from all over the world to London, multinational corporations now work moving money and goods electronically. New port, new city.

Mudlarks Children's Gallery
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
The Mudlarks gallery at the Museum of London Docklands is an interactive play area for children and their parents. Divided into different zones, Mudlarks provides a lively addition to the more traditional galleries, allowing children and their parents to let off steam while continuing to learn about London's port, river and people.
Younger children can explore the soft play area with its DLR train and giant props, while older children can get to grips with hands-on interactives that bring the history of London's Docks to life. Have fun digging for treasure and damming a river in the Foreshore Finds area, try cargo lading in Tip the Clipper, explore the Victorian Docks in Docklands Playtime and see if you can lift the sacks in Lift and Shift.

Docklands at War 1939 - 1945
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
The docks were an obvious target for Hitler's air force and late in the afternoon of Saturday 7 September 1940, the Luftwaffe launched a massive daylight raid on London. Ninety consecutive night time raids followed. A collection of stunning paintings by William Ware (1915 - 1997) illustrate the intensity of the Blitz on London's docks.
Other exhibits explore the Port's role in the Dunkirk rescue, and secret projects such as construction of the Maunsell Forts
Pipe Line Under The Ocean and the huge breakwaters for the Mulberry Harbours. The gallery contains a life-size replica of a Port of London Authority (PLA) shelter constructed during the war. The PLA built two hundred of these shelters and they saved the lives of many people.
One of the Museum's most treasured possessions is a flag that flew from the bow of one of the first landing crafts to reach France during the D-Day landings on 6th June 1944. It was found among the effects of George Sluman, a former waterman who was coxswain of the craft.

Sailortown: 1840 - 1850
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
The Sailortown gallery is a full size reconstruction of the dark, winding streets of Victorian Wapping. The gallery attempts to recreate the contemporary description of the area as "both foul and picturesque". The area was a maze of streets, lanes and alleys. Its inhabitants catered to the needs of sailors of all nationalities alighting in London.
In 1852, the reverend Thomas Beames wrote of the area around the docks:
"Go there by day and every fourth man you meet is a sailor… Public houses abound in these localities… fitted up with everything which can draw sailors together… in a third class of house were professional thieves … they were evidently preying upon the drunken sailors whose ill luck had led them to places where they were little acquainted."
Those brave enough to enter Sailortown will find an alehouse, sailors' lodging house, chandlery, wild animal emporium, and much more.

Trade Expansion and Legal Quay: 1600 - 1800
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
The formation of trading companies such as the East India Company, Muscovy Company and the Africa Company allowed the British Empire to expand commercially across the world. All had their roots in London.
This gallery also explores the 'Legal Quays' established by Elizabeth I in 1558, for the collection of customs dues on cargoes.
Other displays explore the building of London's first wet docks at Rotherhithe for the whaling trade
the landing of East India cargoes at Blackwall
shipbuilding and related industries.
There are displays about visitors from overseas such as Pocahontas and Prince Lee Boo. A touch-screen journey to China aboard the East Indiaman Falmouth introduces the concept of world trade, navigation and the perils of merchant voyages. A dramatised video shows business being conducted inside a typical 18th-century London coffee house.

Thames Highway: AD43 - 1600
- 1 November 2014 — 1 November 2018 *on now
This gallery explores the early ports of London, from the arrival of the Romans in AD43 to the historic ports of Norman and medieval London excavated at Billingsgate and Lower Thames Street.
Artefacts and documents concerning these early riverside trading settlements are displayed, and visitors are invited to interact with archaeologists at a series of multimedia points – introduced by Time Team's Tony Robinson – located in the gallery. The gallery has been designed to support National Curriculum studies in Science, Geography and History.
A spectacular feature of the gallery is a 1:50 scale model of Old London Bridge, the first stone structure over the Thames. One side of the model illustrates the state of the bridge and its buildings at around 1450, the other – hidden until visitors pass through into the next gallery – shows the bridge in all its Tudor glory.

Soldiers and Suffragettes - The Photography of Christina Broom
- 19 June — 1 November 2015 *on now
Christina Broom is regarded as the UK's first female press photographer. With creativity and a bold pioneering spirit she took her camera to the streets and captured thousands of images of people and events in London, revealing unique observations of the city at the start of the 20th century.
One hundred years later, a major new exhibition of her works at the Museum of London Docklands reveals the extraordinary story of this self-taught novice who turned photography into a business venture to support her family.
Showcasing many images never seen before on public display, this is the first ever exhibition dedicated solely to Broom, featuring prints and original glass plate negatives, as well as the picture postcards of London that brought her substantial commercial success until her death in 1939. From parades of First World War soldiers and Suffragette processions to royal occasions and sporting events, view life in London through the lens of Christina Broom.
There will be a late night opening of Soldiers and Suffragettes: The Photography of Christina Broom on 25 June, 6-10pm

Officials say use the recent storm as a wake up call
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. -- In the Roseburg area, the storm didn't dump too much snow and most of it was gone by the time the sun came up on Tuesday.
But that wasn't the case for all of the county, many areas got several inches overnight.
Though some people weren't hit with snow this time around, officials say that winter is just starting, and now is the time to prepare yourself. Todd Munsey from Douglas Electric says that people should try to be as prepared as possible for extended power outages. "Expect the unexpected, and hope for the best," he said. "This is a pretty good wake up call, being so early in the winter. I think folks, we try to keep things prepared and ready to go. Folks out in the service area need to be prepared for anything that happens."
For the average family, Munsey says that means having enough food, clothing and water to last several days.
Though most power outages only last a few hours, Camas Valley residents were without power until Tuesday night, and Munsey says that is something families need to be ready for.
If you have special needs, like life support or oxygen, Munsey recommends having a plan in place in case the power goes out.
Another good thing to do is to check on elderly and disabled neighbors and family members when you can.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
With spring approaching after an extremely wet winter, many have begun thinking about what to do with their gardens. Along with the concerns of what to plant and how to take care of existing plants, gardeners and farmers consider how to deal with weeds.
While some weeds are simply a common nuisance, others, known as noxious weeds, have become more of a concern due to their ability to reproduce quickly, spread rapidly and choke out other plants. Others are classified as noxious weeds because they increase erosion and harm animal habitats. Many are non-native plants that have been brought into areas by animals, water routes, wind and humans.
One such example is the recent growth of tamarisk in the Colorado Plateau. Experts suggest the plant invaded the Southwest of the United States about 100 years ago, and spread through the Rio Grande and Colorado river systems.
Tamarisk has spread through the Colorado River System, up the Green River to the Price River and its tributaries. Though the plant mostly grows below 2,000 feet, it is just one example of how a weed can spread, causing changes to the ecosystems it invades, and upsetting the plant life in areas it invades.
Federal law began addressing noxious weeds in 1976, when noxious weed regulations were added to USDA code. The law has been expanding ever since with a list of dozens of specific plant species, with the last additions made in April 2001.
Utah law reciprocated by enacting the Utah Noxious Weed Act in 1981. The law adds 19 weeds to the federal list, including the following:
Bermudagrass (cynodon dactylon)
Canada thistle (cirsium arvense)
Diffuse knapweed (centaurea diffusa)
Dyers woad (isatis tinctoria L)
Field bindweed (Wild Morning Glory) (convolvulus arvensis)
Hoary cress (cardaria drabe)
Johnsongrass (sorghum halepense)
Leafy spurge (euphorbia esula)
Medusahead (taeniatherum caput-medusae)
Musk thistle (carduus mutans)
Perennial pepperweed (lepidium latifolium)
Perennial sorghum (sorghum halepense L & sorghum almum)
Purple loosestrife (lythrum salicaria L.)
Quackgrass (agropyron repens)
Russian knapweed (centaurea repens)
Scotch thistle (onopordum acanthium)
Spotted knapweed (centaurea maculosa)
Squarrose knapweed (centaurea squarrosa)
Yellow starthistle (centaurea solstitialis)
Counties have power to create their own lists. Carbon County added russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia L. ), dalmation toadflax (Linaria genistifolia ssp. Dalmatica) and yellow toadflax (Linaria vulgaris).
Mike Johnson, supervisor of the Carbon County maintenance and abatement department, operates under the Utah Noxious Weed Act and works with property owners to help them comply with the regulations.
"The biggest problem is the people who own the property won't take care of their own noxious weeds. It's a state law that they're supposed to. People think it's the county's job, but it's the county's job to enforce. A lot of people don't know what they are. There's the other problem. People need to be educated," said Johnson.
The Utah law defines common dissemination means and places restrictions on the following:
Machinery and equipment, particularly combines and hay balers
Farm trucks and common carriers
Screenings sold for livestock feed
Livestock feed material
Hay, straw or other material of similar nature
Soil, sod and nursery stock
Noxious weeds distributed or sold for any purpose
The law defines regulations for transportation or sale of the items listed.
"The county has a plan to help the private people take care of their noxious weeds. We'll go in and explain to them what it is and cost share with them for the first few times until they get caught up. Then they're supposed to take over," Johnson explained.
The country is divided into cooperative weed management areas. The concept of a CWMA is to allow different government agencies to partner in combating the weed problems.
"In the past, the forest service could only take care of forest service land, the state road department could only take care of the state road property," said Johnson.
"But now with this cooperative, there are no more boundaries. The forest service can come and help us, we can help them, the state can help the BLM. Everybody can go anywhere they need to to take care of the weeds."
This allows organizations to pool resources and manpower to take care of problems as they arise and cooperate in the process.
Carbon, Emery and Sanpete counties are part of the Skyline CWMA, which spans from Skyline to Green River. Agencies within the area are able to pool their resources and obtain grants to cover additional costs.
Most grants require the cooperative to match the funds. They usually do this with time, equipment and chemical. The employees and volunteers with the different agencies can pool the value of their time and capital resources, such as machines and equipment and match the funds donated.
Rosann Fillmore, of Manti-LaSal National Forest Service, works to develop many of the grants. Fillmore explained that there's a lot of money out there for weed control. The challenge is matching it. In order to obtain grant money, volunteer efforts and equipment often have to be in place.
One project which recently received funding is planned for controlling Russian knapweed in Icelander Wash, a wash running south from East Carbon.
"We've put together work days with cooperation from BLM, Forest Service, the Division of Wildlife Resources, Carbon County and Emery County. We even have a local ATV group involved," said Johnson.
A containable infestation of dalmation toadflags near Electric Lake and Fairview Lake will be addressed in another CWMA project using funds from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. Fillmore explained that she hopes to explore an option to combine that effort with combating musk thistle.
Fillmore explained that she hoped to begin a public education campaign on musk thistle, informing land users that cutting the tops off musk thistle before they get ready to spread their seeds can help stop the spread of the weed.
A CWMA in Idaho paid students for every pound of weeds they killed. Fillmore suggested that a similar idea might work in this area with musk thistle, where land users could be paid for every pound of musk thistle heads they gathered for destruction.
One project which began under the Skyline Cooperative will soon become a resource for Utah agencies to track weed management.
When the cooperative started, various agencies used differing methods to track weed management. Some were using sophisticated digital databases, and tracking locations using GPS devices. Others were logging their efforts in spiral notebooks, and using less precise location-tracking methods.
The Skyline and Sanpitch CWMAs began a project of compiling all of the data into a centralized database, and mapping the weed management and problem areas. Using funding from the U.S. Forest Service, made available to the CWMAs through the state, the database will be combined with other mapped systems to become a public resource for weed control.
Presently there is no mapping structure in place for compiling the data, but the Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center and Utah Department of Agriculture will develop a state standard of shared codes for the database and make the data available with other geographic mapping resources at the AGRC's website, http://agrc.utah.gov/.

BUFFALO, NY-- The man accused of killing a southern tier superintendent will be sent back to New York State by the end of the year.
Anthony Robert Taglianetti did not file paperwork Monday objecting his extradition from Virginia to New York.
That means he can be returned to New York immediately.
Police believe Taglianetti fatally shot Clymer Central Schools Superintendent Keith Reed, Jr. outside Reed's home back in September.
District Attorney David Foley says he anticipates authorities will be travelling to Virginia sometime this week.

(NBC) - More charges were filed Thursday related to the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
This time it's former Penn State President Graham Spanier who's the focus.
Almost five months after former Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky was convicted of sexually abusing ten boys, Spanier was charged with trying to cover up the actions.
Additional charges were also filed against two other former Penn State officials.
"This was not a mistake by these men. It was not an oversight. It was not misjudgment on their part. This was a conspiracy of silence by top officials working to actively conceal the truth," said Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly.
Spanier joins former Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley and former university vice president
Gary Schultz in facing a total of five charges - perjury, criminal conspiracy, obstruction of justice, failure to report suspected child abuse and endangering the welfare of children.
"If these men had done what they were supposed to do and what they were legally required to do, several young men may not have been attacked by a serial predator," Kelly said.
All three former Penn State officials have publicly maintained their innocence.
A statement this afternoon from Spanier's attorneys insisted there is "no factual basis to support these charges".
The lawyers blame the charges on Pennsylvania's Republican Governor Tom Corbett, who began the Sandusky investigation as attorney general and could seek re-election in 2014.
Kelly denied those allegations, saying "The charges being filed today have no relationship whatsoever to any election."
Spanier, Curley and Schultz are all expected to be arraigned on Friday.
Attorney General Kelly would not say if charges would have been filed against former Penn State Coach Joe Paterno, who died earlier this year.
She would only say "he is deceased and that's the end of it."
Sandusky has maintained his innocence in the case, despite his conviction.
On Wednesday he was transferred to a maximum security prison to continue serving his 30 to 60 year sentence.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
The romance of the river is something many of us are enticed by, but few actually experience. Carbon County is lucky to have both the Green River and the Colorado River in such close proximity as to make white water rafting, kayaking and flat water canoeing very accessible.
Even though many people express a desire to try these activities, they list multiple reasons they have not tried them. One of the reasons given is being afraid to get hurt or drown. Cost is another common reason. Lack of knowledge or equipment is also on the top of the list.
The good news is that right here in our very own community there is a program designed to get anyone who wants to on the river. This is either as a passenger on a fully supported trip or as a participant who is able to have a hands-on learning experience. For those who already know how to get themselves down the river, but do not have the equipment, that problem is solved with an extensive rental program as well.
Carbon County Recreation's river program is just one of the many recreation opportunities that the rec offers. The program is not a river company, but an educational resource to try and teach the entire scope involved with river activities. Not only can a person learn to paddle a kayak and compete an Eskimo roll when they sign up for a kayak class, but enrollees are taught river etiquette, environmental issues and the history of the sport. The same for canoeing and white water rafting. Safety is first and foremost in the program with some of the best trained staff around.
A complete listing of the different programs is available at the Carbon Rec office in Price. You won't find many scheduled trips listed because the program is designed to be flexible to meet the needs of the community. With as few as eight people you can schedule a trip down the Green River daily complete with guides. Six people are all that is required to put together your own family workshop that will teach you the basics of river running from loading the gear to getting down the river. A family kayaking workshop would include three sessions in the pool and a trip down the river.
If it is flat water and scenery you crave, the a three to five day canoe trip down Labyrinth Canyon on the Green River may be your cup of tea. The guides do most of the work for you and will entertain you with hikes and games of horseshoes in the evenings.
Rafts, canoes and kayaks are all there to be rented. Life jackets, throw ropes, bail buckets as well as coolers, tables, tents and sleeping bags can be rented to complete a trip. Each year the inventory gets more extensive. The rental program is the most used segment of the river program and everything is on a first come, first serve basis.
The river program has taken kids as young as four on the water as well as adults into their 80's on their first trip. Young children should be evaluated for their ability to not panic if they fell in and to be able to sit relatively still for periods of time. If you have been yearning to give river running a try or your kids have expressed an interest just call or stop by the Carbon Rec offices to see the wide range of choices available.

PARIS Seldom if ever has the National Assembly of the Fourth French Republic given to a candidate aspiring to the office of Premier the kind of enthusiastic ovation accorded to Pierre Mendes-France when he re fused what then seemed the necessary support of the French Communist Party. It was this refusal—dearly and firmly stated—that more than anything else he said won for him what practically no one (except himself) in French political life had expected him to get; and he won by the largest majority in the history of the Fourth Republic.
To a sensitive mind there is something pathetic in the dogged resolution with which the cult of the Very Best Butter clings to its prime tenet in the face of mounting evidence that it is unsound. The very best butter was not good for the works of the March Hare's watch. That was the somber truth, but his romantic soul knew that there must be some other explanation. In 1952 our political romantics were told that a military man would not be good for the works, but they knew it couldn't be so, for he was the very best military man.
To get something like the equal representation in the House of Representatives intended by the Founding Fathers, our republic requires a permanent Committee for Fair Representation. This CFR has its work cut out for it: to do for fair representation in state and nation what the National Municipal League has been doing for some years in our local communities.
Eisenhower has one last month to make the lackluster 83rd Congress pass his program. "This is the crucial test. Ike wasted his first year in office, then last January dropped a two-year load into the hopper. Will Congress act? The pace quickens now and the big lobbies start to grind. The tariff battle is lost. This was an issue where progressives backed Ike. He repeatedly promised to base his whole foreign economic program on "trade not aid" and now his ineptness has lost the fight.

I initially thought it was browser hijacking, URL cloaking or something....but NO! it seems the website is updated
Wow. Huge improvement. About time. This should help business.
Awwww. I liked the old site. It barely changed from when I bought my Wren in 2000.It is much easier to find info and is much more attractive than the old site although I am disconcerted to find many garments imported. I wonder when this started?
indeed interesting... I wonder what that means - are the shells imported and down filled in USA from european/hi quality down OR are they actually filled and finished in chinaanyone?
I am sure the shell material and down are imported as all of the major players in ultra light down proof fabrics I am aware of are overseas and high quality down seems to be european. Being imported may not mean from China however as recently WM has moved their down jacket production to Canada.
Edited by Mocs123 on 12/04/2012 11:32:37 MST.
I pinged them on their FB page...personally when i see "imported" i think chinaIf i 'imported" from Canada i would write "handmade in canada"if i imported 10d fabric from Japan i would write "We source this super duper high tech special one of a kind 10d fabric from Mitsui mills in Osaka"you get the picture
I don't disagree, but I don't think FF is known for their marketing savy, so they may not have done the best wordsmithing.
Thanks.I had a look only a couple of days ago for the first time in months, it was still the old one.I see they have a new Daybreak vest now, nice...http://featheredfriends.com/index.php/
here is what they said when i asked on their FB"All of our sleeping bags, expedition parkas, and comforters are made here in Seattle. However, our Daybreaks, Hyperions, Helios jackets, and vests are imported. Same quality and guarantee you can expect from our factory."I pushed them further.. lets see. Indeed not a happy turn of events (unless as some said its made in canada or germany or even like valandre - by a wholly owned small factory in Morroco where the floor manager is the CEOs sister in lawthis is top $$ stuff and I for one would like to see it MADE in the locally (or price dropped
I am in the store all the time, anything not made there (jackets, booties, etc.) is made in Canada from what I have seen, just like Westcomb's down products and Western Mountaineering's down garments...in fact they all use the same factory in Canada I am told!"Imported" - FF means Canada :)Cheers
"this is top $$ stuff and I for one would like to see it MADE in the locally (or price dropped"Did you ask Arcteryx if they would do the same?
@NW - if that is indeed the case then I would (if I were FF) advertise as such.@David - I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone. Putting politics aside (that was not my intention) MADE in the USA stands for something. Not just supporting our(may I say our even though im an expat?) economy but means more control etc. Especially with small businesses as FF/WM are/used to be (as opposed to say Apple Inc which you can be sure asserts itself with is suppliers).I could be speaking only for myself but part of the appeal with such companies apart from great product and such (cause others have that as well) is that the people who spec it, the people who build it and the people who sell it look each other in the whites of the eyes etc. It also allowed for small customization etcOn a whole different level - and having years of experience with manufacturing of consumer electronics in Taiwan, China and Japan (working with large brands like Sony/Nikon/Canon/HP/Kodak and large MFG like Foxconn/Gemtek etc- I can say with some confidence that although many of the hi end items we buy these days are made in china/vietnam/philipines/taiwan etc - with large mass market factories there still is a difference between made in china vs made in japan/usa/germany/UKSo when I compare Brooks range to WM or Arcteryx to Gregory there IS a differenceYMMV etcMike
My point is that if one cannot tell the difference as to where the item is made, meaning it reeks of outstanding quality, then where it is made is quite irrelevant. I haven't seen a drop in quality of any Arcteryx garments I have looked at recently despite not being made in Canada any longer. I can show you items that are made in either the US or Canada that are complete garbage and yet are marketed as made locally.
I agree that the chineese can make high quality products equel to what we can make in the US or Canada, but if a company selling products at premium prices, such as Arcterx moves production off shore for a significant labor cost savings, you would hope that at least some of that would be passed on to the consumer.
Brad,the goal of any business is to maximize the wealth of shareholders. If the model to produce in Canada was infringing on margins thus the decision to produce elsewhere, why would Arcteryx pass any profits to you? It has increased production twofold since 2005 and is now producing some clothing in Vietnam, China, and New Zealand. The cost of manufacture in Canada has gone up and would undoubtly mean a Theta AR costing $800 if the product was still made here. Would you pay that?Don't forget that the company does employ Canadians and Americans as well. It pays taxes in both countries into social systems that benefit everyone.
@DaveI agree in principle that these companies are for profit etc and that we would be hard pressed to buy an 800USD JKThaving said that - "maximize shareholder value" is a bit 80's :) its classical economic theory that we know today describes what really goes on only partially (think Cahanman and Tverskey etc)In a similar manner these days it is recognized more and more that there are more stakeholders in a business than just the classical ones - and I would argue that businesses today are concerned more and more about stuff like sustainability, carbon footprint, local sourcing and so on....
I hope that you are right Michael. I remember some years ago while working for a large integrated oil company as a commodity trader (don't hate me), we had an open forum with the executive branch of the organization including the CEO. When asked why 'we' had divested completely all wind farms, the stout answer was: Because we weren't making enough money.
@dave... we wont hate you..heck..I worked in online gaming :)Im basically talking re "fourth sector" and hybrid organizations ....But lets just hope FF continues to make awesome gear and give attention to customers etc. Would be sorry to see another good old brand go the Northface route
here you go...i swear i didnt plan thishttp://venturebeat.com/2012/12/06/apple-to-spend-over-100m-to-bring-some-u-s-mac-production-back-in-2013/
'The lightweight garments are manufactured in China... We are still working the tweaks, info, and pics on the website, so further information and clarification will be forthcoming. Thank you for your patience.'Quite a shame in my opinion. Western Mountaineering still make their in Canada right?

Demand for low-THC pot for children outstrips nonprofit greenhouses
Called Charlotte's Web, a squat variety of pot low in THC and thus largely buzz-free, is in high demand by families with ill children who could be helped by medical marijuana.
In fact, the demand is so great -- especially by families with children with epilepsy -- that the nonprofit Realm of Caring Foundation can't keep up.
Preparing Charlotte's Web is a protracted, tedious process that starts at "the grow," two massive greenhouses on 56 acres of spring-fed land at an undisclosed location in the mountains here.
It's harvest time and the greenhouses are full of towering plants.
Colorado's sunny climate allows the foundation to grow marijuana year-round. It gets two harvests a year, but hopes to ramp up production to three to four harvests through a light deprivation strategy that causes the plants to flower in winter.
About a third of each greenhouse is devoted to Charlotte's Web, a shorter, squattier plant that grows more slowly than other varieties. The plant is high in cannabidiol (CBD) but low in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the component of marijuana that creates a high in users.
"It keeps cutting into our THC growing, which has been necessary to move families off the waiting list," said 34-year-old Joel Stanley, one of six brothers running the foundation. "But we are walking a fine line" financially, he said, because Charlotte's Web is sold almost at cost.
It takes 13 to 14 workers to tend the plants. Dogs roam the property, which is fenced and under 24-hour camera surveillance.
After the plants are harvested, they are hung to dry and cured like tobacco. They are trimmed, weighed and vacuum sealed into food-grade bags for shipment to dispensaries.
Everything is labeled and carefully inventoried, and every part of the plant is used, including the stems as fertilizer.
Charlotte's Web is sent to Realm's lab, an industrial kitchen in Denver overseen by 32-year-old Jesse Stanley.
Buds and leaves are stripped from the stems and soaked for hours in grain alcohol to extract the cannabinoids, Jesse Stanley explained. The resulting dark amber-colored liquid is strained through a fine mesh to remove all plant material and poured into a rotary evaporator to remove the alcohol.
A device used in chemical laboratories, the "rotovap" allows for liquid solvents -- in this case, a CBD extract -- to be quickly and gently removed without excessive heating. The end product is a gummy substance thicker than pancake syrup.
"We can do about a liter-and-a-half an hour," said Bryson Rast, a lab technician the Stanley brothers hired away from the pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement industries.
The brothers also just acquired a high-performance liquid chromatography machine, which they'll use to validate samples, or measure the amount of CBD and THC in each batch. Currently samples are sent out for testing, which is expensive, said Jesse Stanley.
When the samples return, he dilutes them with olive oil.
"It's primitive the way we do things, but accurate," he said. "Quality control is our goal."
Colorado Springs physician Margaret Gedde who is tracking children who are using Charlotte's Web, said there are other growers that sell low-THC products.
"But so far nobody has stepped up like the Realm of Caring has to provide this to kids and do it in a way that is safe," said Gedde. "They grow it safely and test the batches so we know the actual milligrams and it can be accurately dosed."

A Carbon County resident was burned over 100 percent of his body during a flash or flame ignition at a natural gas well site in Nine Mile Canyon on Aug. 2.
According to Bill Barrett Corporation officials, the flash, which burned three additional individuals, was ignited by one of the workers smoking too close to the well during the "flowback" process.
On Aug. 2 at 5:50 a.m. a call was received by Price communications dispatch informing local officials that there had been an explosion near Peter's Point, according to Carbon County Sheriff's Capt. Guy Adams.
Peter's Point is located up Nile Mile Canyon in eastern Carbon County.
The explosion seriously injured two employee of Integrated Productions Services.
Adams further reports that while the sheriff's office is investigating the cause of the explosion, no formal conclusion has been made concerning the ignition of the flash flame.
The reported incident occurred at a remote natural gas well and initial reports indicated that one subject had been burned over 100 percent of his body while the condition of the second victim was unknown.
According to the county sheriff's office, the employees from Intergrated Production Services out of Riverton, Wyo., were working at the site when the incident occurred.
The workers were reportedly extracting ground water and natural gas from the locations well and into the flowback tanks.
The flowback operation separates ground water into evaporation ponds while pulling the gas out to be released into the air.
The sheriff's office reported that Cory Curran from Bill Barrett Corporation was apparently draining off excess carbon dioxide from a trailer, causing a layer of carbon dioxide to form around the immediate area where Aaron Olmstead of Wellington and Richard Wright of Rock Springs, Wyo. were working.
Both of the burn victims work for Barrett subcontractor Integrated Production Systems and were overseeing the flowback process at the well.
The natural gas was allowed to concentrate with the carbon dioxide in the air and settle along the ground because of calm weather conditions.
According to Jim Felton, communications manager at Bill Barrett Corporation, the investigation by the United States Occupational and Safety Administration will determine the source of the concentration of natural gas and carbon dioxide around the well.
When the mixture ignited, the flame reportedly enveloped 26 year-old Olmstead. Adams reported that when Olmstead came in contact with the brush surrounding the well it flamed up and on-site water was used to douse the flame immediately before it could start a wildfire.
"Due to the remote location of the incident, the responding Carbon County deputy requested Life Flight be dispatched to the scene," said Capt. Adams. "And subsequently two Life Flight helicopters from the University of Utah Medical Center responded."
Olmstead was critically burned, while Wright was seriously burned, both were Life Flighted from Nine Mile to the U of U Medical Center. Two other workers at the site were transported to Castleview Hospital in Price with minor burns.Cory Curran was not injured in the accident.
The rugged canyon called Nine Mile begins 20 miles north of Wellington and stretches 40 miles along the northern side of the Book Cliff Mountain Range.
The booming energy area is undergoing constant access improvements funded by county resources and private investments.
According to Adams, the official cause of the incident is still under continuing investigation.

Mont Harmon Jr. High
A 14-year-old boy was arrested Wednesday afternoon on a charge of starting the fire in in the custodian's office of Mont Harmon Junior High School that morning. The fire filled the building with acrid smoke and forced the evacuation of students and teachers.
Units from the Price fire department responded shortly before 9 a.m. They were later joined by backup fire fighters from Helper.
Price Fire Chief Paul Bedont said melted and flaming plastic dripped into the boiler room below the office.
"I came back to my office and saw the flames coming up, so I set off the alarm," said school custodian Cindy Basso.
Fire fighters donned self-contained breathing apparatus to enter the building. Basso's office above the boiler room contains cleaning chemicals.
The flames were put down quickly, but fire fighters had to inspect the building to make sure the fire had not spread through the ceiling.
Bedont credited the quick response of fire fighters that prevented the fire from spreading.
Evacuees from the school congregated in their assigned places outside the school, then walked over to the nearby school district offices where parents could pick them up.
School was dismissed for the rest of the day but classes were expected to resume Thursday.

In Shred of Lights, one of Worksound's best ever shows, five artists examine the acts of transcription, documentation and commentary, and their relevance to contemporary life. At the show's First Friday opening, writer/curator/performance artist Lisa Radon staged a live piece titled COPIER: Horizons, which cogently and poignantly distilled the show's themes. During the performance, eight women sat at a long desk, transcribing in longhand Radon's own handwritten transcription of an essay by the late writer and Fluxus artist Dick Higgins. As the scribes scribbled away, desk-mounted microphones picked up and amplified the sounds of their pens on paper, creating a kind of music: a wistfully syncopated song about the dying art of writing by hand. On a desk in the gallery's entryway, sociologist Sammy Shaw laid out working drafts of his research project, which compares and contrasts the art scenes in Portland and Nashville, Tenn., where Shaw studies at Vanderbilt University. Gallery-goers are invited to peruse the drafts, whose gist, we gather from talking to Shaw, is that Portland kicks Nashville's ass.
Dustin Zemel has filled the gallery's east project room with a multi-channel video installation that wickedly satirizes television news and cable talk shows. Fake news segments unfurl across a half-dozen TV monitors, each featuring a histrionic announcer attempting to capture the viewer's attention. As you approach each monitor, an interactive element kicks in—the monitor senses your proximity—and suddenly the anchor stops talking and just grins at you, satisfied to have drawn you in. Meanwhile, the talking heads on the other televisions intensify their own antics, desperate to lure you to their own screens. It's a nerve-wracking, spot-on microcosm of the din of cable TV. As an antidote to these blowhards, painter Michael Endo offers quiet, meditative paintings that depict desolated landscapes, nearly devoid of human habitation. This is a vision of a society that is either pre-technological or postapocalyptic, and in either case far removed from the information overload evoked in Radon's, Shaw's and Zemel's work. Endo paints in a palette of dingy grays and blacks, except in the sinister Grim Reaper fantasia Strega, whose diabolical reds and Pepto-Bismol pinks telegraph a garish menace. Life off the grid might be less than utopic, Endo suggests.
Shred of Lights
loses cohesion in Ray Anthony Barrett's mixed-media paintings, which
are not clearly related to the show's theme. Despite this, the show
manages to navigate diverse media in considering the ways we document
and transfer knowledge in an era when pen and paper have yielded to
cloud computing and flash drives.

With allergic asthma, certain types of allergens are known to produce, or trigger, asthma symptoms and attacks. Triggers cause symptoms in allergic asthma often associated with a substance made by the body called IgE. If you have allergic asthma, you body makes more IgE when you breathe an allergen. This can cause a series of chemical reactions known as the allergic-inflammatory process in allergic asthma, resulting in the constriction (tightening) and inflammation (swelling) of the airways in your lungs.
Common Triggers of Allergic Asthma
The following allergens are well-known triggers of coughing, wheezing, tightening of the chest, and other symptoms of allergic asthma. For tips on reducing your exposure to allergens, see "Living with Allergic Asthma."
Pollen. Pollen from trees, grasses and weeds is a common allergen. These airborne particles often peak during different seasons of the year, but they can linger in your home and air ducts all year long.
Cockroaches. Cockroach feces and saliva are both allergens and can trigger asthma symptoms in some people with allergic asthma. Because cockroaches are often prevalent in many inner-city areas, their allergens play a significant role in contributing to the number of people with asthma.
Dust mites. Dust mites are spider-like creatures too small to see with the naked eye. Every home has dust mites. They feed on skin flakes and are found in mattresses, pillows, carpets, upholstered furniture, bedcovers, clothes, stuffed toys, fabric, etc. Both the body parts and feces of dust mites can trigger asthma in individuals with an allergic reaction to dust mites.
Mold. Molds can grow on virtually anything when moisture is present. Outdoors, many molds live in soil, or on leaves, wood, and other plant debris. Indoors, they can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and food. Molds produce tiny spores, which are like seeds, to reproduce. These spores become airborne easily. Any time moisture accumulates indoors (through a damp basement, leaky faucet, shower stall, etc.), mold growth will often occur, particularly if the excess moisture goes unnoticed or unaddressed. Asthma episodes can be triggered in individuals with an allergic reaction to mold.
Pet dander. Asthma can be triggered by pet urine, feces, saliva, hair, or dander (skin flakes). But you don't have to have pets in your house or visit places where animals are kept in order to be exposed to their allergens. Interestingly enough, animal allergens are often detected in places where no animals are housed. The allergens may have been carried unwittingly into a place by people that own or have been around animals.
Foods. Nearly half of all people with food allergies also have asthma, which is often due to the allergic asthma connection. For these people, contact with common foods such as peanuts, soy, shelfish, milk and other food protiens can trigger an asthma attack. Food-induced asthma attacks can be the most severe and deadly, so it's important to talk to you doctor if you suspect you have a food allergy.
Natural Oils & Fragrances. Perfumes, fragrances, cleaning products and other types of household agents can be composed of hundreds of different allergenic ingredients. Citrus, animal fats and oils, plant extracts and more, making these types of solutions a real problem for people with allergies, or allergic asthma.

Midshipmen Intern with Wounded Warrior Advocacy Program
Posted on: September 06, 2013 08:00 EDT by Jessica Clark
Having already spent time on ships or subs or in squadrons as part of their professional development, senior midshipmen often have the opportunity to get creative with their summer training.
Midshipman 1st Class Elissa Kim, of Ashburn, Va., chose to devote much of her summer to helping wounded service members.
Kim, along with Midshipman 2nd Class Sarah Bernhardt, spent a month with the SOCOM Care Coalition, beginning with a week at the SOCOM headquarters in Tampa, Fla. There they met with the Care Coalition staff to learn more about the program's mission to support wounded, ill and injured service members through recovery and transition either back to military duties or civilian life.
"What's awesome about them is they offer life-long advocacy for these service members," said Kim. "They offer lifetime support, not just for them but for their families as well. It's a very close-knit community."
The midshipmen spent the second week of the internship near Pensacola at a fitness facility designed for professional athletes and special forces service members, what the facility calls "tactical athletes."
The mids participated in the facility's Intensive Restoration and Training program, specifically designed to rehabilitate wounded warriors. The program creates personalized training and nutrition plans to allow service members to concentrate solely on recovery and training.
Working alongside the wounded service members, the mids learned about their stories and their recovery process, said Kim.
"They have such a great outlook on life," she said. "They're comfortable talking about what happened to them, and what they have to say is really inspirational. They all come from different backgrounds and have different stories."
The midshipmen spent the final two weeks at Walter Reed Medical Center, observing surgeries and spending a lot of time in the amputee and physical therapy clinic. They spoke with doctors and prosthetists and met with recovering service members.
"It's a humbling experience. After you see what they go through, you don't want to complain about anything ever again," said Kim."The internship served to help us understand what our future sailors or Marines may have to go through. As officers, I feel that's really important to know so we can better take care of our men and women."

In 2007 Backpacking Light Magazine will be featuring an "Ask Us" column in their online and print magazines. We are aiming for 16 columns -- 4 in the quarterly print publication, and 1 each month in the online magazine. I am currently seeking good questions about any backpacking/thru-hiking related topic. Because Backpacking Light already has knowledgeable Section Editors for most gear categories (e.g. Trekking Poles, Lighting), I would like to stay away from direct gear comparisons, e.g. "Why do you use the GoLite Ether windshirt instead of the Marmot Ion?" Instead, I would like the questions to be more general, and more applicable to long-distance backpacking. For example, take the previous question and change it to, "Why do you take a windshirt on every long-distance hike you go on? And what characteristics should I look for when buying one?" Other questions can relate to planning ("How do you select your resupply locations?"), gear selection ("What layering system do you recommend for winter snowshoeing in Minnesota?"), technique ("How do you pitch a poncho tarp?"), food and hydration ("What do you eat?" or "What do you use for water purification?"), and any thing else you really want to know about and think other people would want to know about too. If you have great questions, or lots of great questions, e-mail them all to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I appreciate you sending the questions you have and helping to steer the content of this column. I will let you know if I select one (or more) of your questions. And I'll probably respond to you anyway even if I don't. Thanks very much. Andy
I would split your original question into two parts. "What are the advantages or disadvantages of carrying a wind shirt?" "How is my hiking style altered or enhanced by this piece of gear?" Personally, I've done two thru-hikes and never carried a wind shirt. I've only started carrying one recently and thus the jury is still out on whether it will be a permanent part of my pack's inventory. As you're well aware, in order for any item of gear to be properly evaluated it must be done in context with its use. The problem is that describing use is far more complex than simply describing functionality. This is because use is a part of an overall system that includes the interaction between an item of gear and the rest of our gear. It's also significantly affected by our overall hiking styles.Also equally important is to understand the affects of not taking an item of gear. Can it benefits be obtained by another item of gear? Can I eliminate it if I change my hiking style? Can I eliminate it by altering where or when I hike? What happens if it fails? Is it a weak link that will contribute to a systemic failure? Is there sufficient flexibility in the overall system to compensate for the failure? The complexity of deriving answers to all of these questions is the primary reason we discuss gear mostly at a superficial level. Ron
Ron - Interesting and insightful commentary.But I'd like to keep this post on-topic. So, going forward, please post only questions for this new column, or send them to the address specified above. Thanks.
I'd love to see questions related to extended winter travel. Your example "What layering system do you recommend for winter snowshoeing in Minnesota?" would be good, especially if it dealt with a hypothetical multi day cycle covering changing climate conditions. I'm imaginging something along the lines of what clothing you'd have and how you'd use it in different climate conditions and also through the daily cycle (sleep, emerge, hike, make camp, sleep again.
Edited by jcolten on 11/03/2006 11:47:47 MST.
Jim: How about something along the lines of "at what point do you consider switching from a frameless pack to a light internal frame pack?" or its mirror: "at what point do you consider switching from a light internal frame pack to a frameless pack?" In addition to the obvious weight-of-your-gear answer, you could discuss the need to plan the whole trip (will you ever need to carry 5 quarts of water, doubling the weight of your pack?), the effect of bulk v. weight (at what point does the pack become too floppy?), the impact of a hipbelt (maybe you switch at a lower weight if there's no hipbelt?), and personal preference/comfort issues; durability (important to long hikes) could even fit in.You could also expand this to a more general topic: at what point does trimming more weight mean you give up more comfort, function, versatility, or ease of use than you're willing to sacrifice?
What's your take on special footwear considerations for long distance hiking vs. weekend hiking?1. Stiffness of shoe;2. Orthotics or no;3. Any application for waterproof shoes?4. Lacing considerations;I propose that for short days most of us can get by with anything but for long days the game changes. And for long days, day after week after month...that's where you come in!
What foot care and sock strategies work for long distance hiking or long mileage days in a weekend hike? What morning, daytime, and after-hike routines work for prevention of blisters, excessive swelling, etc.? Things like hydropel use, cleaning, changing socks during the day, feet elevation, shoe-off time during day, etc.
Edited by jshann on 11/08/2006 11:04:10 MST.
I have not received many questions about food. Should I take this to be a sign of lacking interest, or does anyone want to know about this subject?
I thought all you ate was Balance Bars :)
I essentially do, but there's a great explanation for that (besides getting them for free). Balance Bars or Clif Bars or Power Bars, there's lessons to be learned from the all-bar diet. There are other parts to this issue, including town binging and body weight management.
Andrew as you have stated BPL has lots of good section editors who often write very informative reviews about gear or other issues. So my question is "What is the correlation between a BPL reviewers experiences with a piece of gear and the experience of a normal UL hiker?"
Food question:What is the food motivation when all you eat is bars? I can do it but with a little ti stove I can make freezer bag meals which are so warm and comforting at the end of a hard day. Do you substitute just town binging for that or do you carry limited capacity to make hot meals?
I think a good discussion of long distance hiking would include the following questions.What administrative tasks must I accomplish prior to this hike? i.e. route finding, attainment of permits, mail drops, et al.What is my training regiment going to be six months to the hike? Three months? One month? Two weeks? Assuming I will be buying and preparing all my food before the trip through use of a dehydrator how can I avoid the "same old *BEEP*" blues after eating the same ten or fifteen meals over and over again? And subsequently [possibly a whole seperate topic] how do I plan meals healthy enough to avoid getting sick? What kind of emotional situations have other thru-hikers encountered on the trail were those hikers able to overcome or be overcome by these issues? How, after completing a hike of many months duration do I go back to what I was doing before?
Andrew: Have you noticed either that bears cannot or definitely can detect a pack full of Balance Bars? Do you re-package them (the bars, not the bears.)
The Balance Bar adhesive is water soluble. Even storing them in high humidity will allow the adhesive to loosen.
Consider the following question without regard to psychological factors such as "warm meal comfort," "cooking as part of the experience," etc:On long distance trips or consistent short trips, can one skip the stove, fuel and cookpot and maintain health, stamina and nutrition?What would a sample menu look like for 3000-4000 calories per day?We saw Al Shaver's turkey jerky/bar/accelerade and Bill Fornshell's liquid diet menus. Are bars or energy drinks really enough?What if you can't dip your finger in the ranch dressing every so often in town? Can you still go long with a no-cook menu?I for one would love to drop the cooking gear, but wonder if I could eat bars every day. Is this the psych factor creeping in, or is my body trying to tell me something?Well, maybe I have some "food" for thought...
How much do you sleep when you walk far? How far can you walk without sleeping? How far if you are low on food?How fast do you heal? Does it depend on your sleeping? On your eating?What's the relationship between eating, sleeping, healing, and walking?If food is body fuel, water body lubricant, what does that make sleep? Body repair.....And what about human companionship...is that a help or a hindrance to long distance walking?What do you do about mood swings? Do you like to talk when you walk?Do you like to talk to strangers?When the weather sucks and your feet hurt and your wife/girlfriend is leaving you for someone else -- what then?Do your feet ever hurt? Do everybodies feet hurt at some point? Where? Inside, outside? Toes, balls, heels?Why bother with insoles? Why bother with orthotics?What do you think about when you start a long walk/ What about when you near the end? Why don't you do big things with other people? Or do you? Why is walking a solo-ist thing when done big?What constitutes a big thing?Why bother when there's a war?In your opinion -- What's better: cold food and no stove, hot food and stovel, or hot food with no stove (wood)?What's better counting calories or counting pounds of food when planning a long triup and why?Why do you do your long trips on trails and roads?Why don't we hear about people doing long trips off-trail? Are they not doing it? Or is it that they just don't tell us, 'cause the long trippers on trail are more social anyway and feel the need to tell us?
Questions:1. If you were to have to go into a store and pick out bars for your hike (if you weren't sponsored), what would you be looking for in the nutrition label?2. How does this information relate into your selection for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack?3. Any favorites? Brands? Tastes? Combinations of all the above?4. For the heavier hikers that are slowly making their way outdoors and to a healthy/ier lifestyle, how would you approach their nutritional requirements? What advice could you give to them on being safe and healthy in the backcountry using lightweight food such as bars and/or dried and dehydrated meals?5. What in your experience DOESN'T work for you on a long extended hike lasting over a week? Could you elaborate why and how you came to your conclusions?
Everybody I've heard from regarding thru hikes has talked about mental, not physical, difficulties/limitations making the trip difficult. What about addressing the psychological issues involved in a "long hike"...assumed in this case to be solo.What feelings typically crop up and when?Are any cycles or patterns formed? If so, do they follow time of day, level of fatigue, etc?How can one stay motivated to achieve the goal they've set out for despite these difficulties?What's the motivation for such a hike?Do specific types of people embark on them?What type of person quits and why?etc.
Andrew: As a very young man with time for several careers ahead, have you considered high altitude mountaineering? This field has a long history of going light. Reinhold Messner soloed Everst in 1980 without oxygen, (He wouldn't have gotten far without ANY oxygen. He used what little was in the air, he just didn't use bottled O2.) He had custom titanium crampons, Ti ice axe, and a custom tent so tiny he couldn't stretch out in it. And when Steve House soloed K7, he did it with a pack plus contents in the 7 to 8 pound range. Of course, there is that sudden death thing.
