I thought I would add a page linking great articles that I find on my travels on the web. There is some really great stuff out there:
- Article written by the brilliant British climber, Andy Kirkpatrick about the science behind getting cold
- Good (but maybe obvious) tips on winter camping by the Backcountry blog
- How to make your own GU (I haven’t made it yet, so don’t blame me…)
- Good run-down of the most popluar beacons and how they work
- Ski tuning by the Backcountry blog
- Another great article from Andy Kirkpatrick explaining down and how to best use it
- Comparison of Gore Tex, eVent and other shell materials
- The low down on sleeping bags and how to make the most of them by Andy Kirkpatrick
- Good basics on snowboard stance, set up e.t.c
- Good basics on the Abalokov or V-Thread
