Re: Montgomery Kettle (now the Backcountry Boiler) I jumped on this one early in the count! Other forums are talking this up also (i.e. HammockForums.net) I'm really glad to see Devin's dream coming true. Few would have had the persevera... |

Backpackinglight Thurofare Pant I love everything about these pants! They are so light it literally feels like I'm not wearing anything. My size large weighs 4.1 oz. They have features that count but not ones that don't. ... |

Big Agnes SL3 While there's no tent that works for all purposes in all environments, IMO this is the perfect tent for summer, or year round in Florida. It's a free standing, double wall tent, but the inner ... |

MSR Wind Pro This is the stove that I go to when the weather dictates that water comes from melting the solid form. At 10.2 oz, including stuff sack, it's one of the lightest options to get the Btu's for w... |

Gerber EVO Titanium-Coated Serrated Knife 2.8 oz This is a great knife if you are looking for something more substantial than a razor blade but lighter than a Bowie knife. I know many people prefer a razor blade or ripping out a pair of sizzors f... |
