Good stuff, of note is the BRS micro/ultralight stove: It's a GRRREAT stove!!! I bought mine right about when it went on the market and I have used it CONSTANTLY and CONSISTENTLY ever since, and it has NEVER faled or faltered even ONCE the entire time!!! For context, I'm a WILDERNESS hiker (not a distance hiker) so I go into the backcountry for weeks or months at a time and I go to ALL types of terrain and in ALL types of weather. Even when I'm not hiking, I'll take it to a local city park to make coffee, tea, soup, etc. Again, it has NEVER failed or faltered!!! Limited ability nay-sayers will say it's overly sensitive to wind or they point to junk science by junk scientists on KZbin. ALL open-flame canister stoves are susceptible to wind, and the BRS is no exception. However, you are SUPPOSED to put your stove (or fire, for that matter) in a protected situation and I do just fine with my set up, as I'm sure you do. Another nay-sayer gripe is that the flame "overheats" the pot holders. What they DON'T say (or do right) is you're NOT supposed to turn the flame to high! It wastes fuel and is completely unnecessary!! There are MANY other gripes by people who don't know what they're doing (or talking about) but suffice to say micro stoves like the BRS are not for everyone (or noobs!). Just use 'best practices' and you'll agree, this is a GREAT stove!!!!

I’ve been building up stamina and endurance using Cameron Park in Waco Tx after work! Spent 2.5 hours non stop taking the river trail all the way down the brazos river and then hiking the Highlander trail all the way back and detouring at the drain pipe (looks clear might try the sawyer out there) back into the river trail on my way out after the sun sets. Hopefully I can take on some of the Guadalupe Trail this year. My gear: Nike Challenger 7”, Magellan spf sun shirt, cheapest ASICS trail shoe at Academy, an Armytek Wizard headlamp ( you might like / need one Darwin ) , and a Peanut Butter Raisin Tortilla roll I stuffed in my right pocket that every dog being walked on the trail smelled from 30 yards away 😃.

I am 6' and probably need something on the wider side because i thrash in my sleep. Price is no object, I need to sleep comfortably or Im miserable. Thank you for any input!!!

I would love you to do a series on week long hikes. That's really about how long I can be gone at a time. Where would you go if you had a 9-5 job, could leave the Friday of one week and have to return by the following Sunday (call it 10 days or 9.5 days). What are some section hikes you could hit. For instance, I'm headed over to Gila Forest to hike with my son over his Spring Break with one hard day of travel on each end. I guess the question would be, what are the best 5-7 days hiking trips which you can complete in that time (depending on how many miles one can do in a day - I do about 12-15 myself). Don't care if it's a loop or an end to end.
