  1. Re: \Grand Teton National Park and travel east accross Wyoming and Nebraska

    Friends of mine wrote a guidebook titled "Beyond the Tetons", covering the surrounding ranges on the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Most of these places are still sparsely visited. These days, I...

    On the LFP forum, there are many references to 80, 90 pound packs. People seem to regularly carry heavy packs for days in the backcountry.

    Why not use a 2 by 3 (baby) Crown Graphic with a roll film back? I don't know if it will take a 350 mm (the bellows draw is only about 160 cm), but I use a 47, 65, 90, and 101 mm on mine. It's a...
