OLY 320-E Four thirds Because of a review here at BPL a few years ago, I bought this camera. It was updated recently by a new version, so the e-620 might be found in the $400 range. The kit lenses are compact choices ... |

eco mesh I wore the eco mesh daily and found, after it dried quickly in the evening, it proved to be a nice warming layer around camp. A Golite windshirt is my favorite piece of gear which I use year rou... |

Minaret Lake Trail Apologies, Bob. I meant the Minaret Lake trail out of Mammoth, jct with the JMT at Johnston Lake and Meadows as seen on the Harrison Map entitled Devils Postpile. Find the first 3 miles of the tra... |

JMT Gear 1. I started in mid-August. No bugs! Never saw a mosquito. 2. I stopped carrying water because sources were so plentiful right along the trail. I would just stop and drink a liter. I kept m... |

Expedition I carried the rented Expedition and had it stuffed for 8 days of meals after the Muir Trial Ranch. It was easy to mail back from Lone Pine. It does not need to be boxed. It arrived the week I l... |

Gossamer Gear Ditto. When something is not in stock when you first look, just put your name on the -e-mail-when in stock list and they will let you know. They quickly and without questions replaced items that... |

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Pad Very comfortable and a pillow not needed. But, you are not supposed to blow this up by mouth because moisture will get into the fill. So, there is a blow-up bag arrangement that does work, but it is ... |

GoLite Ultralite poncho/tarp This Golite gear is made of a rugged silnylon. It has snaps to help shorten its length when worn as a poncho. It is useful to run a guide line over the top of it between the supporting poles to help... |

Ray-Way 3-person tarp and net tent Att: Mrs. EW! You do not need all that extra weight of overhead netting, plus you will have even more room under your tarp without it. Just add several inches of netting along the side edges, and ma... |

Superfeet Performance Green I do not think superfeet are supposed to prevent blisters, unless because they help correct the fit, they, by chance, correct an area that might otherwise chaffe your skin. Also, cut off about 1/8 in... |

Bushbuddy "Ultra" (BPL/Ryan Jordan/Arctic 1000 Version) Wood Stove Note BD's final picture: the handles of the pot are directly over the opening that allows wood or fuel to be added to the stove when it is burning and the pot is ontop. When adding wood, I found ... |

Montrail Vitesse On my first pair, the coating wore off the toe top. The grey just pealed off leaving a white fabric. Also, the rubber on the front side separated from the side of the shoe. I repaired it with Shoe ... |

Merrell Mesa Ventilator II Cross-Training Shoes Ditto. I am about to head to the REI nearest me where they are on sale for $57 (Jan. 5) It will be my second pair having switched over from the Montrial Vitesse (see above). I had avoided this shoe ... |

Littlbug Wood Burning Stove Littlbug Junior First, to find the website note that Little Bug is spelled with no "e". The efficiency of this stove amazed me. I have tried homemade versions of woodburners with little success, so I was ... |

Gossamer Gear Lightrek Plus Poles Same as Phil Barton above. The tip broke off on the first day. I returned the pole, it was repaired at no cost and a spare basket and extra tip was also included. I had lost a basket as well as the... |
