Re: Patagonia's Houdini Pants Hi Ray! Yes, these are lighter than the BPL Thoroughfare pants, which weigh in at 3.9 oz. As near as I can tell they're darn near pretty much the same fabric, which means they're bug pr... |

New: Convertable Pants Hi Scott! I'd ditch the convertible pants idea, as the lightest will weigh about 12 oz. Instead, go with lightweight running shorts with built-in mesh briefs & 8" inseam. Mine, fr... |

Bushbuddy compatible? Hi Jhaura! (I bought your used Patagonia Houdini from this site many years ago when I first started going UL). Which pot would you recommend for storing the Bushbuddy wood burner in? BPL, back i... |

MSR Titan Kettle Even though I already have a couple of pots, I decided to pick up the Titan last spring. Two things I appreciated right away were the lid handle, which can lock in the upright position so fingers don... |

Snow Peak Mini Solo Ti Cookset It's been about three years now since I picked up the mini solo, and it has served me well. I started out by using it with a Brunton Crux stove, which stows nicely inside along with a canister. ... |
