waned:camping instructor for Playboy Playmates, really Ad is here, and is evidently real: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/tfr/477004137.html "..must be comfortable around nude models." Ben, you are in LA, aren't you? |

Altitude Sickness Robert, yes, it is too strenous for constant use. I like your idea of.. shall we call it pressure breathing? And it is important to take a full capacity of air with each breath. This seems to reall... |

Winter Clothing System Andrew, by 4 layer system I am including the windshirt/pants as a separate layer, not a hardshell with true water repellency. So the layers are wicking base, windlayer, insulation, and hard shell.... |

Richard, MB#2 Burrow loft 8,9,11,10cm Richard, Sorry for the delay, I measured the two-layer loft of a MB#2 Burrow at the Shibuya store. It was stuffed in the stuffsack, so I fluffed it up for about 2 minutes and layed it flat. Doubl... |

Layering Sleeping Bags Siegmund, You asked specifically about the UL#3 and lighter MB bags for layering. I own the #3, and a #7 also. They layer very well with minimal compression of the inner bag which results from the... |

Winter Clothing System Andrew, you did mention breathable insulation such as a 100 or 200 wt. fleece. The Thermawrap does not breathe much. So yes, I think the fleece is a good idea. You have obviously thought about thi... |

$500 for a 10' bag?! how bout $179 Donald, do you really need a 10' bag? Or can you use a 20' bag and wear your insulation layer while sleeping to boost the rating? If you consider that and still need a 10'F bag, the M... |

Watch/Compass/Thermometer/etc I have a Casio and a Suunto. The only useless feature is the thermometer. Since the device is on my wrist the temperature is always wrong. I tried to calibrate it but the microclimate changes with ... |

5.11 gear Tactical nylon pants These pants weigh in at 720grams, that's a pound and a half, folks. I bought them as winter hiking pants because I do not need the convertable feature of my other pants in winter, but I found thes... |

Petzl Tikka XP In preparation for a night hike I wanted to buy a new headlamp. Technology has come a long way since my old Zipka Plus.. (and I couldn't find it!) After a few hours of research including | ||

Cilogear Schoolbag I got my second Cilogear last week, what Graham calls the "Schoolbag". Here in BPL land it makes for a very nice day-hiking pack and I bet many BPL members could fit a weekend kit into its 3... |

tiny BIC lighter (the cute one) I carry various types of fire making gear for my own educational and practice purposes, but I always have one of these 11 gram bics taped to my keychain or in my pot set. They won't flame when soa... |

SnowClaw Backcountry Shovel Racer Backcountry Shovel My snow claw is one of the more recent models. I used it on one winter trip for bivy prep; I can move snow at a higher rate than with a shovel due to the low inertia of the blade; I dug into a 45'... |

Montbell Versalite rain pants Just bought these today and tested them in a thunderstorm tonight. My usual test sequence is based on recommendations from one of our members. 1. The sitting test applies about 10,000mm head; 2. kneel... |

Lite my fire firesteel scout firelighter This device reliably makes sparks as advertised; even when wet. But so will an 11 gram mini-bic. So I carry the bic. Also, the tiny spark-maker from a Spark-lite is also a fraction of this item'... |

Montbell U.L. 90 Sleeping Pad U.L. 90 I own the 120cm version, but aside from the dimensions and weight, it is identical. This pad is not remarkable on its own, but as part of the Montbell sleep system, it is. The toggles mate with the... |
