Who are some of the top manufactures for camping equipment such as sleeping bags, tents, climbing gear, backpacks, stoves, etc...
I would like to browse their websites.
I need something a little more heavy duty for upper Canada/Alaska near the tundra and lower forests.
I also woudn't mind it being universal for the most extreme cold climates.
I get catalogs from Cabelas, Sierra Trading Post, and Gander Mountain.
Do you know any others?
Answer
Not really manufacturers but... As mentioned is REI and Adventure 16: http://www.adventure16.com/
The question for sleeping bags is whether you're going to be in wet areas. It's especially important at freezing temperatures to keep dry. I use synthetics in this type of weather. Another suggestion is a top of the line goretex bag with the best goose down available. Get the one with the best subzero rating that you can find, and when its warmer, leave it unzipped. Better a little cool on warmer nights than freezing your rear off during an unexpected storm. I've been snowed in for days during a freak blizzard and during that trip I took a light summer bag to save weight.... it was pretty miserable and a GREAT adventure, now I take the best and use it unzipped.
I believe that there are some good gortex covers that can be purchased.
EDIT: I just learned a little from this site: http://www.weasel.com/gear_bag.html

Would you like the ability to secrete your own camping equipment?

People have genetically engineered other mammals to make silk protein. Would you like to be genetically engineered to secrete silk protein. To make an all weather tent you could just spray milk or saliva all over a form, let it dry, then have housing.
Thus would you like the ability to secrete your own camping equipment
Note: this minimizes or reduces the effect of weather, or having to cooperate with others to have functional housing, which makes society optional.
Answer
depends on where I'm secreting it from....
