Travel Gear & Photography Forum Threads for the week of February 12, 2007

Check out the topics currently being discussed on the Travel Gear and Photography forums at BootsnAll:

• Totleigh-in-the-Wold wants to know – what are the most overrated and underrated pieces of gear you’ve used or seen? She thinks a pashmina is overrated, and a comfortable pillow is drastically underrated. See if anyone thinks the gear you can’t live without is overrated!
• MHGatorman is going to Europe for two months and has narrowed the backpack search down to the Kelty Storm 3600. Is there any reason this pack shouldn’t be the top contender?
• Ghoney would like to write the next great American novel as she travels around the world, and is looking for a portable word processor. What’s the best option for her to consider?
• Rabid is going to Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels in March and wants some advice on what lenses to bring. In addition to his 17-55 IS lens, should he bring his wide-angle or his telephoto?
