Re: How about your Sub-10 list
Sorry Stephen - haven't checked this thread in a while. The program I used on my list is just Excel, but with judicious formatting and a pivot table or two. If I ever get around to it, I ...

Re: How to size trekking poles?
The following is a general guideline only. I would advocate, as others have, that you begin with adjustable poles until you get it dialed in. This technique is also useful as a starting point for...

Re: Choosing Gear is Excessively Complex
The blog author seems to suggest that folks who would post on a forum like BPL are not the target audience. So then why call it to our attention with a post here? I can't disagree with the ...

Re: Cabela's XPG Ultralight Wing
My brother-in-law has one. Very similar to a Kelty Noah's Tarp. Bomb proof, but heavy. Pretty good value. Ten footer is great coverage for one or two.

Re: Handle Insulators - SnowPeak 600
You failed to mention the most important parts: 1. How did you get it on there? 2. What does it weigh? You could be docked BPL Rank points for failing to mention the weight! :)

Re: What backpack should I downsize to?

Re: Sublite
What length of trekking poles are required? I have the fixed length BPL Stix. Just curious if my 135cm length would work.

Re: Who still needs one?
Apparently I am a little late getting to the dance, but I would be happy to put one to good use on a tent purchase, if you find any more. Thanks a bunch for making any and all available!

Re: Ditch Your Stakes
Most impressive. Best drawings yet IMO, including Mike's books. My favorite line was "flossing the ice deadperson". And just the term "deadperson"... that's great -...

Lite my fire firesteel scout firelighter
I've had zero problems with my Firesteel. It always throws a reliable and predictably shaped spark fan. Lights stoves or fires easily. Lighting a fire does require a dry tinder material (found ...

REI Minimalist Bivy Sack
I picked up a REI Minimalist Bivy in size long to try out. The long also has added girth, which is great. I slept in it twice in my backyard proving ground. Both times were clear, low humidity night...

Black Diamond Spire Elliptical Trekking Poles
I was intrigued by these initially because of the ellipical shafts - definitely seem stronger/stiffer on the principle axis than comparable weight round poles. I was willing to live with the 20 oz pe...
