20 Games Like Roadracer Bowler()
Super Bomberman R
"Since its release in 1985, Bomberman has been a familiar party-battle game for many years. Now, Bomberman is coming back as "SUPER BOMBERMAN R" to Nintento Switch.
In SUPER BOMBERMAN R, the simple rule remains the same: operate the main character (Bomberman), place bombs, and battle with enemies and rivals, but it's coming back in a modern style with 3D stages and photo-real graphics. You can enjoy battles with rivals from all over the world.
There is "Battle" mode for maximum of 8 players, and single play "Story" mode (cooperative play for 2 players is possible as well) where players clear each stage one by one, with a big volume of 50 stages. Also, there is a new rule where the condition to clear the stage is not just by wiping out all the enemies. This simple but strategic game with new rules and 3D stages is fun for everyone, from children to adults."
Paint the Town Red
Paint the Town Red is a chaotic first person melee combat game set in different locations and time periods. The voxel-based enemies can be punched, bashed, kicked, stabbed and sliced completely dynamically using almost anything that isn't nailed down.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
"Hit the road with the definitive version of Mario Kart 8 and play anytime, anywhere! Race your friends or battle them in a revised battle mode on new and returning battle courses. Play locally in up to 4-player multiplayer in 1080p while playing in TV Mode. Every track from the Wii U version, including DLC, makes a glorious return. Plus, the Inklings appear as all-new guest characters, along with returning favorites, such as King Boo, Dry Bones, and Bowser Jr.! "
Steel Division: Normandy 44
Steel Division: Normandy 44 is a Tactical Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game, developed by Eugen Systems, the creators of titles like Wargame and R.U.S.E. This new game puts players in command of detailed, historically accurate tanks, troops, and vehicles at the height of World War II. Players can measure their tactical skills against several opponents in big multiplayer battles or against enemies in a challenging single-player campaign. Steel Division: Normandy 44 allows players to take control over legendary military divisions from six different countries, such as the American 101st Airborne, the German armored 21st Panzer or the 3rd Canadian Division, during the invasion of Normandy in 1944.
Wild Terra
It is action-RPG and sandbox hybrid with building, crafting, gathering, farming and land claiming elements. There is no NPCs in game so the only way to get something is to create it by yourself or trade from other players... or take it with brutal force. However we understand that not every one have enough time to "live" in game doing everything by their selves that is why all game processes are boosted to make game a little bit casual.
We can say this about your character development as well. It is very boring to level up your character to XX-level just to take a good sword in hands and start to fight. There would be leveling anyway however it would grant you small additional benefits in combats but not major domination.
Grand Prix
The player drives a Formula One car in a time trial on one of four race tracks, each of which has a different difficulty level. Difficulty is gauged by the length of the course, the number of cars and oil slicks on the track, and the number of bridges to cross. The player views the race from a top-down perspective, and the screen scrolls from right to left. The player's car maneuvers only on a vertical axis, and loses a little speed when it does so. The joystick's button is the throttle: Depressing it accelerates, and releasing it decelerates. Pressing the joystick leftward applies the brake. The transmission audibly shifts as the player's car accelerates and decelerates. Grand Prix is a time trial, and the competing cars are obstacles rather than competition for the finish line. The player's car can easily outpace the other cars, but if it collides with one, its speed drops lower than that of the impacted car. Driving over an oil slick causes the player's car to skid slightly sideways, but does not slow it down. Once every scale mile, the player crosses a narrow bridge over blue water. Colliding with any wall of the bridge stops the car, and the player must slowly gain speed to continue.
In Autocrash the player competes in a death tournament between "bumper cars". The goal is to dismount the opponent (or opponents) from his car, and hit him before he leaves the game zone. Along the stages, the enemy's A.I. difficulty level and his number will increase. Additionally, in some stages the enemies must be eliminated in a certain order.
Rad Racer
40 / 10052.0
Road Fighter
Road Fighter (ロードファイター Rōdo Faitā) is a car-based arcade game developed by Konami and released in 1984. It also was the first car racing game from Konami. The goal is to reach the finish line within the stages without running out of time, hitting other cars or running out of fuel (fuel is refilled by hitting a special type of car). The game also spawned two sequels in its time, Midnight Run: Road Fighter 2 in 1995 and Winding Heat in 1996, respectively. A Japan-only rebooted sequel was also released in 2010, 14 years after Winding Heat.
Made by the masters behind Project Gotham Racing and Metropolis Street Racer, Blur is a racing project by Bizarre Creations that aims to take arcade-style action and realistic driving physics to a whole new level. The game drops players into heart-pumping, electrified racing action with 20 cars on a track all targeting the finish line and battling each other as they trade paint and collect intense power-ups, including the ability to blast other cars out of the way with huge bursts of energy, boost their speed, and more.
While controlling photo-realistic cars, gamers can use offensive and defensive attacks as they battle for the lead and careen through real-world track locations ranging from L.A. and San Francisco to the streets of Hackney, UK and the treacherous roads of Barcelona, Spain.
75 / 100273.75
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
Several years after his last adventure, retired fortune hunter, Nathan Drake, is forced back into the world of thieves. With the stakes much more personal, Drake embarks on a globe-trotting journey in pursuit of a historical conspiracy behind a fabled pirate treasure. His greatest adventure will test his physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he's willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.

APMonitor Documentation
APMonitor, or "Advanced Process Monitor" is optimization software for mixed-integer and differential algebraic equations. It is coupled with large-scale solvers for linear, quadratic, nonlinear, and mixed integer programming (LP, QP, NLP, MILP, MINLP). Modes of operation include data reconciliation, moving horizon estimation, real-time optimization, dynamic simulation, and nonlinear predictive control with solution capabilities for high-index differential and algebraic (DAE) equations. It is available as a MATLAB toolbox, a Python module, a Julia package, or from a web browser interface.

Differential and Algebraic Equations
Differential and algebraic (DAE) models are a natural expression of systems that change with time. These dynamic systems may be as simple as a falling apple or as complex as biological metabolic pathways. DAE models are generally easy to write but often difficult to solve analytically. Entire university level courses are devoted to the solution of particular types of differential equations in analytic form. Solution of more complex systems is better handled through numeric approaches. There are many software packages that can solve DAE models for small and medium size problems. APMonitor is designed to solve large-scale problems. Additionally, other software packages often require the user to reformulate the equations into a restrictive form. APMonitor allows an open-equation format that is less restrictive.
Solution options
APMonitor uses a simultaneous solution approach to solve the differential equations. The differential equations are converted to algebraic equations and solved with large-scale sparse solvers. There are an assortment of solvers available with various user's licenses, ranging from free and open-source to commercial.
Range of usage
APMonitor is advanced process control and optimization software for industrial-scale systems. The software interfaces to live systems to provide advanced diagnostics, meet safety and environmental constraints, and drive the process to economic optimum. With rapidly changing feedstock and commodity pricing, this application enables instant and continual realignment to real operating objectives. These may include:
- Meet regulatory reporting requirements
- Flow assurance of oil and gas transport pipelines
- Visualize data from remote locations
- Reduce alarms by consolidating relevant information
- Provide soft sensing
- Automatic control of continuous and batch systems
- Increase production 3-5% without equipment changes
A number of prebuilt asset models are available with the APMonitor software. The chemical processing modeling package includes reactors, distillation columns, and compressors necessary for industrial scale processes. A modeling language interface to MATLAB and Python extends the applicability for pre- and post-processing of the optimization solution results.

To contemplate nature, then, is in Blake's phrase to cleanse the "doors of our perception," both on the physical and on the spiritual level, and thereby to discern the energies or logoi of God in everything that he has made. It is to discover, not so much through our discursive reason as through our spiritual intellect, that the whole universe is a cosmic Burning Bush, filled with the divine Fire yet not consumed.

KPMG's Italian law firm Studio Associato is understood to have decided not to join KLegal's new international network. Instead, it is believed the firm will retain ties to accounting parent KPMG Italy.
Studio Associato's decision casts doubt on the group's ability to tie down law firms to the proposed network.
Despite an announcement from KPMG some weeks ago that the accountancy firm would cease to provide legal services, the KLegal law firms have still not been able to reach an agreement over the shape of the new network.
The move also leaves KLegal's putative international network without a member in a key European jurisdiction.
The Italian firm gives both tax and legal advice and has always been very closely aligned to KPMG.
KLegal UK declined to comment. Studio Associato could not be reached for comment.

Letter from the President
September 2016
Protesting in front of an abortion clinic is unsettling and noisy. On a Saturday last month my wife Ada and I left Owensboro at 4 a.m. in order to get to Louisville before women planning to have an abortion arrived at the EMW Women's Clinic. As we walked up to the sidewalk in front of the clinic various people were gathering and a very familiar action plan began. I had witnessed it several times before and I know some of my readers have been there to see it as well. Women arriving for an abortion would park a block away and be joined by clinic volunteers dressed in orange vests who would escort them down the sidewalk and into the clinic. A music box near the entrance played loud music in an attempt to drown out the protestors.
Protestors assembled into several groups being careful to abide by the law and keep the sidewalk and entrance unobstructed but inching up to be as close to the door as possible. One group wore yellow vests with the word 'Immanuel' on the back. They met the women surrounded by clinic escorts and would plead with her all the way to the entrance: "Don't go through with it", "You'll regret this later", "Save your baby", "We can help you with adoption". Another group would line the sidewalk and recite aloud the rosary. One man at the entrance would use a microphone to tell the women: "Don't go in", "They just want your money" and "They don't care about you". Another man would shout to all the African- American women: "I thought black lives mattered". Several graphic posters of aborted babies were on display as another way to help persuade the women to turn around and go home. Across the street I saw the Archbishop of Louisville lead in procession a group of about a hundred people who then stood solemnly in prayer for several minutes before marching back uptown praying as they went.
This went on for an hour and a half before the last of 6 women entered the facility. None turned around but I did see one couple enter a crisis pregnancy center set up next door that offered free ultrasounds. That couple did not carry on to the abortion clinic.
Unfortunately it is only going to get worse in Louisville. A new Planned Parenthood clinic is getting ready to open in a depressed neighborhood near downtown about 4 blocks from the EWM clinic. I drove by the facility that is in a renovated warehouse with a large fenced parking lot out front. Clients will be able to drive through a gate and park on site in front of this massive structure. There will not be a need for clinic escorts and prolife advocates will have little opportunity to interact to change minds.
Some good news: the Kentucky Supreme Court upheld the decision of Governor Bevin to suspend abortions at the EWM clinic in Lexington because they were operating without a proper license.
My next trip to protest in Louisville will be November 12. Call the Right to Life Office if you want to go. We will leave Owensboro at 4 a.m. and return by 10:30 a.m.

President Obama to kick off fiscal cliff tour Friday in Montgomery Co.
PITTSBURGH - President Barack Obama will begin a different type of campaigning this week in Pennsylvania in an effort to pressure congressional Republicans to work with the White House on a strategy to avoid the pending fiscal cliff.
The president will kick off a fiscal cliff tour on Friday in Hatfield, Montgomery County to make his case for tax increases on the wealthy while extending tax cuts for families earning $250,000 or less.
He will tour The Rodon Group manufacturing plant — which employees 150 people — using the Pennsylvania business as an example of a company that depends on middle-class consumers during the holiday season. The company makes parts for K'NEX Brands, a construction toy company whose products include Tinkertoy and Angry Birds Building Sets.
Josh Shapiro, a Montgomery County Democrat and commissioner, said he is proud that the president has chosen to visit his county at a critical time during fiscal cliff negotiations.
"I look forward to welcoming him on Friday and showing off one of our premier businesses in the county," Shapiro said.
Sen. Pat Toomey, a Lehigh Valley Republican, told the Trib last week that he is against Obama's proposal to increase taxes on the wealthy and is looking forward to hearing what the president has to offer to avoid the "fiscal disaster."
This will be the president's first public trip outside the nation's capital since winning re-election.

But Australia's administrators do not seem to see any connection between the Twenty20 monster they are creating and their decline in Test cricket, even though it should enable England to keep the Ashes for several series to come.
The real cricket season took off in Australia last week: nothing whatsoever to do with Test cricket, but the Big Bash. The most famous face in Australia is probably not Ricky Ponting's, or even Julia Gillard's, but the actor who impersonates Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken, the sponsors of the Big Bash 20-over competition, and who has been advertising remorselessly for weeks.
'It's Just Not Cricket Without The Colonel' says the ubiquitous slogan. And KFC is 'The Official Restaurant of Cricket Australia'. No, don't laugh; it explains a lot. When Australia were sent in against the swinging ball at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Boxing Day, they batted exactly like headless chickens.
Come to that, when the Australians fielded, they were battered and fried by England's top-order of Andrew Strauss, Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott.
None of them plays 20-over cricket for England, but no: the connection has not been made by officialdom.
Even more symbolically, the first game of Australia's new Big Bash season started on Thursday, with a match between Western Australia and Tasmania in Perth, just hours after the fourth Test ended in an innings defeat in Melbourne. Don't dwell on failure. Never mind that Australia had been outplayed by England, as seldom before, in the contest of cricketing skills that has lasted for 133 years. Instead, let's have instant gratification!
Very popular the match was too. It was almost as well attended as the Test in Perth, and young Australians made up a far higher proportion of the spectators: it is the summer holidays here now. Last January, the 10 biggest audiences for the cable TV channel which broadcasts the Big Bash, Fox Sports, were for their 20-over cricket matches, every one.
This season's competition is embellished by a few overseas stars: each state is given Aus $50,000 (£33,000) to contract one. Chris Gayle is strutting his stuff, and Kieron Pollard, while Matt Prior will play for Victoria. This is beneficial for England: if Steve Davies does not make a decent fist of keeping wicket and opening the batting for England in the seven-match one-day series after the Tests, then Prior can slot in for the World Cup in February.
The Big Bash competition has to be adjudged successful in attracting new audiences. Next season, instead of six states, eight franchises will be competing — Canberra and Geelong are expected to be the two new venues — with all the players drafted, as in Australian Rules. But the question is whether this does any good for Australia's Test future.
Tasmania's batting was opened on Thursday by Tim Paine. He is the classiest cricketer outside Australia's Test team. If selected, he would probably be Australia's classiest cricketer inside the team as well, apart from Mike Hussey. He has the best batting technique, as he proved as a wicketkeeper-batsman in four Tests as Brad Haddin's deputy.
If Paine, 26, opened for Australia as a specialist batsman, he would surely do a better long-term job than the existing openers: he can bat for longer than Shane Watson — he has scored a first-class double-century as an opener for Tasmania — while there is no comparison between his technique and that of Phil Hughes. Paine could be the Australian equivalent of AB de Villiers, learning the ropes of Test batting then taking over from the incumbent wicketkeeper when Mark Boucher/Brad Haddin moves on.
Instead, there was Paine clearing his front leg out of the way and swinging almost everything on-side. Jolly effective he was too, hitting a match-winning 71 off 57 balls with four sixes. He was player of the match; at this rate he will be bound for the Indian Premier League, and the only serious money that cricket can (legitimately) offer. Shaun Marsh is another: son of former Australia opener Geoff Marsh and touted as the most talented batsman of his generation, he was the leading run-scorer in the inaugural IPL, instead of following in his father's footsteps.
Australia's last chairman of selectors, Trevor Hohns, sums it up very wisely: "The hard graft doesn't exist any more. You notice the scores in state cricket and you notice that there aren't too many blokes willing to bat for a long time any more. There's a couple getting hundreds now and then, but no one is getting in and batting all day, which is what Test cricket is all about. Maybe it is all this limited-overs cricket, but our young blokes won't tough it out."
A Big Bash, yes, but one that seems to be bashing Australia's Test future.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
You won't get into trouble for leaving the state with your children. There is no custody order and legal paternity has not been established. You are free to take the child and leave, legally. That said, you can't file anything in Florida until you have lived there for at least 6 months. So, if you were to leave, he could file a paternity action and you would have to come back to NY for the hearings. He "might" be able to get an emergency custody order while the case is pending.
But he can't do anything without filing a paternity action. You can do this yourself as well, in NY. He can't make you stay in NY... but it may hurt you in a custody hearing if you take him to Florida and don't offer any contact or visitation. If you are going to go, just make sure you leave your contact information and a note telling him to contact you if he wants to set up a visitation schedule. That way, if he does file a paternity action, he won't be able to argue that you were denying contact.
The other option is to file it in NY, and then get permission to go back to Florida from the court.
Not necessarily. You can ask for "preliminary orders" which can usually be gotten in a much shorter time frame, generally weeks. But, you are correct, it won't be immediate.
He can't kick you out. You have set up residence, he would have to evict you. Just refuse to leave... or go ahead and leave and go back to Florida. When he files his paternity, you will have a valid defense for taking the child to Florida. As far as what you can do that would be immediate... you could file the paternity and then ask for an emergency custody hearing. It may or may not be granted though, and emergency hearings are not always immediate either. Sorry, I wish I had a better solution for you... but I can't offer you what doesn't exist. An emergency hearing request is the quickest route to a hearing, if it is granted.

Modeling Demographic Processes In Marked Populations
Volume 3 of the series Environmental and Ecological Statistics pp 173-197
Estimating Latent Time of Maturation and Survival Costs of Reproduction in Continuous Time from Capture–Recapture Data

In many species, age or time of maturation and survival costs of reproduction may vary substantially within and among populations. We present a capture-mark-recapture model to estimate the latent individual trait distribution of time of maturation (or other irreversible transitions) as well as survival differences associated with the two states (representing costs of reproduction). Maturation can take place at any point in continuous time, and mortality hazard rates for each reproductive state may vary according to continuous functions over time. Although we explicitly model individual heterogeneity in age/time of maturation, we make the simplifying assumption that death hazard rates do not vary among individuals within groups of animals. However, the estimates of the maturation distribution are fairly robust against individual heterogeneity in survival as long as there is no individual level correlation between mortality hazards and latent time of maturation. We apply the model to biweekly capture–recapture data of overwintering field voles (Microtus agrestis) in cyclically fluctuating populations to estimate time of maturation and survival costs of reproduction. Results show that onset of seasonal reproduction is particularly late and survival costs of reproduction are particularly large in declining populations.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear Lists › Getting Back Into Backpacking – My Gear List
Oct 17, 2009 at 8:33 pm #1240337
Well, I was very into backpacking and camping as a child. I did the whole Cub Scout –> Boy Scout –> Eagle Scout thing and now I've developed a strong desire to get back out there. Below, I'm providing my gear list for compliments or criticism, but please keep in mind that I'm not going for a complete *Ultralight* setup, just a comfortable level of weight using high quality products. I already own a good chunk of the list.
Well… Here it goes.
Backpack, Gregory Palisade
Backup Firestarter, FireLite Mini Firestarting Kit
Compression Dry-Sack, Sea To Summit eVent Sizes XS (sleeping bag) and M (clothes)
Flashlight (backup), Fenix E01
Flashlight (primary), MagMini 3aa LED
Footprint, Big Agnes Copper Spur UL1 Footprint
Hand Shovel, Coleman Hand Shovel
Hat, Outdoor Research Radar Pocket Cap
Headlamp, Petzl Tactikka XP Adapt
Hiking Boots, Asolo TPS 520 GV
Hiking Pants / Shorts, Columbia Omni-Dry Silver Ridge II Convertible Pant
Hydration System, CamelBak Classic
Knife, Kershaw Roughneck
Lighter, Bic Mini Lighter (x2)
Parachute Cord, 50 ft
Saw, Sven Folding Saw – 15 inch
Shirt, Marmot Lightweight Crew – Long Sleeve
Sleeping Bag, MontBell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #2
Sleeping Bag Liner, Sea To Summit 100% Premium Silk Sleeping Bag Liner – Hooded Mummy

Trekking Poles, Leki Super Makalu
Underwear, Under Armour Boxerjock
Water Bottle (primary), Klean Kanteen 40oz Wide-mouth
Water Filter, Pur Hiker Microfiltration System
Whistle, Ultimate Survival Jet Scream Whistle
With that list the pack weight comes out to be just barely over 20 lbs.
What do you guys think weight, quality, and preparedness-wise?
Thanks in advance!Oct 17, 2009 at 10:45 pm #1537374
Man oh man…be prepared to have your gearlist completely revamped by everybody. It is incredibly heavy and most of the things weigh much more than they need to. I can safely say that as of now, it is more than doubled the weight of every member on here.
-The backpack has got to be changed. You do not need a 6lb backpack to carry 20lbs of gear.
-You do not need two flashlights and a headlamp. Just a headlamp is enough. Not to mention your headlamp should be very bright…it is 4x the weight of mine. If you really feel that your light source is insufficient at night, build a fire.
-Get a MontBell trowel or some other trowel instead of the shovel.
-For a light pack, hiking shoes may be better than hiking boots. Boots are not necessary since you won't be supporting a heavy backpack. You might be able to get some extra miles with shoes as well.
-Consider getting a platypus bladder instead of the camelbak. They perform the same with similar quality but much lighter.
-The Roughneck is definitely larger than necessary but some people will not leave their knives. Have you considered maybe a shorter or lighter one?
-You do not need 2 lighters when you already have a backup fire starter–the firesteel.
-Why do you need 50ft of paracord? 20 should be way more than necessary.
-You do not need a saw. It may be convenient but you will hardly use it. If you really want one, you could just get a knife with serrations. Some multi-tools have built-in saws but they weigh like 8oz.
-Get a better stove. You could have one with better quality and be lighter at the same time.
-Why do you have a stove but no cookware?
-A Klean Kanteen is probably a good camping bottle. This is backpackinglight. Use a gatorade bottle or a collapsible platypus/nalgene.
-Consider using water treatment drops or tablets.
I think the weight is 3x heavier than necessary–without even sacrificing any comfort. You are definitely missing many things in your list. Where is your first aid kit? Look at the member's gear list section to get some ideas and work on your list again. I noticed that you carry several backups and many items that are unnecessary. I was like that at one point. The thing is, you have to rely more on knowledge than your gear. The latter is disastrous. Perhaps consider taking some outdoor survival course–they're great for backpackers of all levelsOct 18, 2009 at 1:36 am #1537384
Thanks for the speedy reply!
I figured your response would be the general reply haha. Keep in mind I'm not going for the 100% ultralight setup. I'd like to combine a combination of gear I already own along with new gear.
Now let me respond to your points –
The backpack – unfortunately, this isn't going to change right now. I've got the pack and it's still in great condition… one of the best pack designs IMO. It may overkill for this specific gear list, but keep in mind this is a general list. Add in more clothing then food/water for some lengthy fall/winter trips and the pack's abilities will be seen.
The flashlight – another something I'm not willing to change right now. I'm more than willing to pack that extra weight (the miniMag) in order to have the added peace of mind. I've been stuck in camp with a failed lighting system before… wont let it happen again.
Shovel – At a savings of 3.6 oz, is it *really* worth getting the trowel vs the shovel? I just can't imagine doing any sort of work with it other than personal business. I just feel the shovel is much more versatile. You may be able to sway me though.
Boots – I considered hiking shoes, but in the end opted for the boots for two main reasons. First, I love the added support around the ankle. I've got a larger frame (5 ft 11in, 200 lbs) and that support is priceless when on any sort of incline or technical ground. Secondly, the boots are more versatile, ie: I can use them in cooler weather as well.
Platypus Bladder vs. CamelBak – I'll look into this. I've got the CamelBak already, but I might be willing to give it up for something else. My heart isn't set on it.
Knife – I considered a smaller knife, but in the end, the comfort of having the Roughneck outweighed any weight benefits. It's really not that bad though, 5.2 oz for a full plain edge and partial serrated.
Lighters – at .4 oz, I think it's fine to have two ;-)
Parachute cord – I've changed this to 20 ft. Honestly, 50 ft was a completely arbitrary number. Thanks for the suggestion.
Saw – I want a saw of some sort. I've been in a number of situations that would have used much less time and energy if I had only had a saw. That said, I'm willing to shop around for a different model/style. Recommendations?
Stove – I'm willing to change stoves. What do you recommend for lightweight, top-notch quality, and superb performance? Keep in mind, this will be used in winter as well.
Cookware – haha! You're right, that's a bit goofy. Unfortunately, I compiled this list while away from my gear (still away) and ended up leaving out some things (you brought up the cookware and first aid kit). I added it, but cant remember the brand or weight.
Klean Kanteen – There are a couple things I like about this bottle. One, its brushed stainless so I can use it to boil water in a pinch. Two, it still fits my water filter. And three, the cap is very nicely suited for a clip or length of cord, to be attached to something. Plus, BPA free, right?
I updated my list in my profile to reflect a couple of your suggestions. It's definitely a work in progress, but I can't say that I think it's in terrible shape.
I'll take a look at other member's lists and see what I can come up with. In the meantime, I'm still looking for more comments, criticism, and suggestions.
Thanks for the response, Jeff!Oct 18, 2009 at 1:55 am #1537385

Hi Zachary
I can understand your reluctance to change many things at once. In fact, you probably should not do so. Rather, just change one thing at a time. As you find out that the lighter items still perform just as well you will gain confidence for more changes. While it may sometimes seem like ideology, it really is about enjoying the backcountry.
cheersOct 18, 2009 at 2:16 am #1537389

@foundLocale: Sacramento, CA
This in indeed a lightweight and ultralight focused backpacking website. What your gear is, is "traditional, heavy weight". Respectfully, you're probably in the wrong place. The comments you will get are that you're doing it all wrong. If you like the gear you have, and don't want to buy more, stick with it. And find a different place for advice.
Two starts… backpacker.com often has decent advice on traditional backpacking. Also, consider adding the rest of your gear to your list (choose light options!) and see if you're enjoying carrying all that weight.
Perhaps consider asking more specific questions on items that you are considering purchasing or replacing. If you're not willing to part with something, it's pointless to ask for advice on replacing it.Oct 18, 2009 at 2:21 am #1537390
Jack H.Member
@foundLocale: Sacramento, CA
To answer a specific question…
You want a stove for year round backpacking. Am I to assume that you will be winter camping with it? In the snow? With other people?
If so, I don't think that there is another logical choice than a white gas stove. The specific model isn't terribly important. I still think that the MSR Whisperlite International is perhaps the best stove for such a hiker. But it's also NOT a great solo, ultralight stove. And it's easy to have a white gas stove and a free alcohol stove at no additional cost.Oct 18, 2009 at 6:49 am #1537406
Ken BennettMember
@ken_bennettLocale: southeastern usa
Zachary, I'm afraid that if you want affirmation ("What a great list!) then you have indeed come to the wrong site. In truth, there is nothing wrong with your gear list. In fact, it looks a lot like my list when I first started, heavily influenced by my military experience (that is, lots of bombproof redundant gear.) I was very happy when I was able to get my 65 pound pack down below 50 for a weekend hike in fair weather.
Since you are the one who will be carrying everything, you are the *only* person who needs to be satisfied with your list. I'm sure you will end up tweaking your gear as you get back out in the woods, and the members here will be very glad to answer specific questions about gear and technique as you do so.
Good luck and happy trails.Oct 18, 2009 at 7:30 am #1537409
First of all, thank you for the replies so far. I appreciate it.
I'm sorry if I seem reluctant to change my gear (the bag and boots, specifically). The fact is, I may be willing to swap some things out, but need to be given suggestions as to what to replace it with.
Roger – I agree that it would probably help to change a couple things at a time. Could anyone provide some (lets say 3) specific suggestions that, in your opinion, *need* to be changed. Remember, at this point the pack and boots are set in stone, sorry.
Jack H. – Do you really think my gear is considered traditional heavyweight? I'm not opposed to this thought, but quite honestly, I thought it was far from that. What would you change? Thank you for the stove suggestion. It looks like it may be worthwhile to buy two separate stoves, one for 3-season use and another for winter use. If I go that route, what model would you suggest for a solo, lightweight, 3-season backpacker?
Ken – Thanks for the message. It's good to hear that I'm not beyond help haha. Where did you start when transitioning to lightweight?
I was a little disappointed to see that no one has commented on the larger items that I have yet to acquire. What do you think of the tent and sleeping bag choice?
I also feel it's worthwhile to mention that list factors in excess clothing. For example, if I'm just going for a weekender, the pack will be 2.45 lbs lighter due to less pants, shirts, socks, and underwear. (1, 2, 1, 2, less. leaving 1, 1, 2, 2)
Ok, so that got a bit lengthy. To summarize, I'm interesting in what you think needs to be changed *now*, a solo, lightweight stove suggestion, comments regarding the sleeping bag and tent, and as always, my ears are open to more general criticism / comments.
I really do appreciate you guys taking the time to help. Again, sorry if I sound reluctant to change.Oct 18, 2009 at 8:15 am #1537414

>"Water Bottle (primary), Klean Kanteen 40oz Wide-mouth

First off, switch to Platypus Bottles. THey are the lightest and the best out there.
Next, dump the Pur filter. My reccomendation (and I love this stuff):

@berner9Locale: Michigan
Id say go out there with that gear list you have and do a short trip. Even an overnighter will work great.
Take note of what the conditions and mileage are. As you are walking think of all the stuff in your bag. Think to yourself what you are using at the time of hiking and again at camp. Also think about what you haven't used.
Take the list of things that you haven't used and see if you could get by with out them? You have 3 light sources on your list. I bet you will only use one of them If you even use it. Take note to that. Do this with everything.
You will learn that you don't need a lot of the stuff you bring. That will reduce the weight of your pack greatly. Look for items that can do multiple things where you could cut back even more.
If you like what you got and don't feel you need to lose more pack weight then your good to go and you didn't spend any money. If you like the less pack weight, then you can move to the next step of switching gear out and making your own stuff if you wanted(saves money).
Hope this helps some.Oct 18, 2009 at 9:05 am #1537421
Evan – I've made the change from the CamelBak and Klean Kanteen to Platy Bottles & a Drink Tube Kit. I will consider the AquaMira drops as well. Is there a downside to using these vs. a filter?
Andy – Great suggestion. I think that is probably the only way to truly see what's going to work for me. However, there is still some gear that I have yet to acquire (see the list in my profile). I'd like to get some pointers as to those items before I buy them and then realize I either dont need them, or they weren't the right choices.
Updated list has been loaded on my profile.Oct 18, 2009 at 11:24 am #1537456
Jeff PatrickBPL Member
your worn weight is pretty high. For comparison, mine is only 4.
Second, the redundant items/luxury items you listed add up quick.
extra lighter .5
saw- 15
extra undies- 15
extra flashlights- 7
thats just a couple of things and it adds up to 41 oz or 3.5 pounds that you dont really need to carry. (your undies are heavy)
other than that your stuff sacks are pretty heavy
if you must have a boot, check out inov8 390 roclite- i think they are half the weight
you can probably trim up your zrest into a short- i saved 5 ounces this way. Or if you are willing to use just a torso pad 9 ounces.
if you want to get light you have to stop thinking in terms of pounds and start obsessing in terms of ounces.
im not really sure I understand what you leave at home. Do you really only bring 1 pair of socks but bring 2 shirts and 2 underwears? I'd much rather have an extra pair of socks.
Also, are you counting all your clothing items as worn weight even if you have to carry the extras on your back?Oct 18, 2009 at 12:44 pm #1537471
Jeff – I think my worn weight seems (is) high because I am including my trekking poles (21 oz), along with my fairly heavy boots (58 oz). I've already stated that I'm not willing to give up the boots – this is weight that I will gladly take anywhere.
That said, I have removed one shirt and two pairs underwear from my pack list.
Only one item of each clothing category (shirt, pants…) is included for worn weight.
Updated gear list to reflect these changes has been posted to my profile.
Worn Weight = 8.56 lbs
Pack Weight = 18.48 lbsOct 18, 2009 at 12:55 pm #1537473
What Jeff Patrick suggested is true and easy to do. The benefit of the tablet treatment or drops is that they weigh much less than the filter, obviously. I would also dare to say that they treat the water better. The only downside is that they take an hour or so for it to kill all the bacteria and 4 hours for the larger bacteria. You would have to plan ahead for your water and not let the water run low (don't drink all your water before refilling; refill as soon as one bottle gets empty).
Since no one is commenting on your items that you want to get, I'll try to do it briefly. Hopefully you see that I am using my time just to help you rather than trying to argue with you on the principles of lightweight backpacking.
-Go to the "Community" tab and look in the "Reader's Reviews" section. It is basically a user review of all the good gear out there.
-The CopperSpur is very expensive and not very lightweight. FWIW, my 2-person tent weighs about that. Reference the Readers Review section for better options. Henry Shires at tarptent.com sells some of the best made and lightest tents available. Most of the members on here use them since they are very good deals. As long as you clean the area of rocks, twigs, and pointy objects, you won't need a footprint. The floor of the tent is very strong.
-You could get a lighter and better stuff sack. Perhaps you could look around or someone could chime in on this.
-For cookware–we need to know what you are planning to eat. Are you just planning to boil water to rehydrate meals like Mountain House? If so, a 2-cup pot is all you need. Some good ones include the FireLite550 (sold on this website), any Snow Peak, and once again, look in the readers review section.
-For a stove, you have to decide between alcohol stove or canister. Alcohol stoves weigh much less and is much cheaper but take longer to cook. Canister stoves are also on the readers review section. The MSR Pocket Rocket is a cheap one since it just went on clearance sale almost everywhere for $30. The Snow Peak Giga GST-100 is a good one as well…better than the Pocket Rocket. I would assume that their new model, the LiteMax GST-120 is good too.
-For your saw, you could carry a Pocket Saw. They are fast and weighs less than an ounce:
Or if you are only cutting twigs and stuff:
-You don't need a tent field repair kit. Your tent should come with a sleeve for repairing poles. You should always carry a small amount of duct tape as well. Repackage it by wrapping a small amount of it around something.Oct 18, 2009 at 1:28 pm #1537479
Thank you for the response, Jeff A. I appreciate you commenting on the items that I still need.
I was looking at the TarpTents this morning and I'm investigating them further. They appear to be a great alternative to traditional name-brand tents.
Regarding cookware – Yes, I will primarily be boiling water. I believe I have a nice Snow Peak pot that will work nicely.
I will have to do some research as to the stove.
The pocket saw's are interesting. I will also look in that option.
Good note on the tent repair kit. I will keep that in mind as well.
Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate your (and everyone else's) time. Looks like I'll be spending some more time reading reviews!Oct 18, 2009 at 2:36 pm #1537495

@dandydanLocale: Cascadia
I know it's already been discussed, but that 6 lbs pack has got to go. Since it's in good shape, you can probably sell it and buy a lighter pack without spending any additional money.
When I got into this, I sold my North Face Catalyst 75 pack (7 lbs) for $150 and bought a GoLite Jam for $70 which weighs ~1.5lbs. That's 5.5lbs saved and an additional $80 in my pocket for more gear :)
You might like something like the 3500 cu in (57L) ULA Ohm which retails for $130, has an internal frame and weighs 24oz (1.5 lbs). You'd save 4.5 lbs and I doubt you'd wind up spending much to get it if you sell the Gregory.Oct 18, 2009 at 5:33 pm #1537529
Jack GMember
@nomadjackLocale: Midwest
Agree with Dan. There is a medium Jam for sale (new) in the gear swap for $75. That is a great deal. I would grab it. Wear the boots on a long weekend trip and then maybe you will reconsider. 58 oz. is more than many of the members big 4 here. A pair of trail runners would easily cut that in half.Oct 18, 2009 at 5:41 pm #1537533
Here are some specialized shops that most of us buy from (usually tents):
Gossamer Gear
Mountain Laurel Designs
ULA Equipment
Six Moon Designs

Thanks Jeff –
If I were to get a Tarptent, 2 person, which would you say is the most versatile for rain, wind, and snow? I'm starting to lean that way, as long as the quality is top notch.Oct 18, 2009 at 5:55 pm #1537542

Do you get storms? How big of a load of snow is there?
The Scarp 2 is for extreme conditions. For regular weather, the Double Rainbow is the most popular. I am thinking of selling my current tent and getting that as well.Oct 18, 2009 at 5:59 pm #1537544
Thank you Henry. I am very willing to make the switch from the Sven to that Buck saw. Looky there – I just shed 10.7 oz haha.
Updated list to reflect the change.
Worn Weight: 8.56 lbs
Pack Weight:17.81 lbsOct 18, 2009 at 6:00 pm #1537545
Jeff Antig –
Yes we get storms, pretty bad downpours at times. During the winter, it's not unheard of to have 24 – 30 inch drifts around here.
I will look into those two models.Oct 18, 2009 at 6:06 pm #1537548
Jack GMember
@nomadjackLocale: Midwest
your current BA tent is not that bad at 3 lbs. Unless you need a two person tent you are only going to save about 8 oz. with the double rainbow for example. I would keep the tent for now and get rid of the pack where you could save five pounds.Oct 18, 2009 at 6:16 pm #1537550
Jeff PatrickBPL Member
What is your budget?
I would have a clear idea of that in mind before you start spending a lot of money on things that seem cool but that you really might not need.
Also I think somebody said to go out for a weekend with all your stuff and see what you dont use. This is a great way to weed down the pack.
I would also recommend doing a trip where you take the minimum essentials. That way you see what you really need and can't make excuses to use something you don't really need. Make it a short trip for safety purposes though. Or better yet, camp out in your backyard once a week and simulate the trail life.
