> To all:

> Many questions pass on both of these sites about what gear to choose.
> Try the following source. BACKPACKER Magazine, March 1997 issue, is on
> the newsstands now. This issue covers over 3000 items, including
> extensive coverage of tents, sleeping bags, and boots, as well as very
> good coverage of "how to" and "avoid this". This issue does not do a
> great job of comparisons, so much of the guidance for decision making is
> subjective. Other issues do more comparisons. A prior issue had
> outstanding information on water purification while on the trail.
>
> Please be aware that this magazine, while a great source of information,
> is not a Scouting document; nor do its ideals precisely match those of
> Scouting. The concepts of "courteous" and "reverent" are not strongly
> held, especially in the advertising. I would suggest that an adult
> review a couple of issues prior to allowing a younger Scout free access
> to this magazine. The March 1997 issue is more benign than usual.
