Re: A fire what!?!

Re: Help me brainstorm a Caldera Cone (TM) for the FireLite 475ml Ti Trapper's Mug
A mid/low pot collar would definitely allow for the use of a shorter cone, but only a collar within 1/2 inch of the bottom of the pot would allow for a one piece cone that fully nests inside the po...

There really is a "Pertex Quantum Endurance"?!
Thanks Mike, I was apparently incorrect in my prior post. I did not find any mention of Pertex Quantum Endurance (PQE) on the Pertex website (only PQ or PE), but the circumstantial evidence clearl...

Re: Experience with the Montbell Breeze Dry-tech bivy?
No experience, but given all the new options out there in the last couple years, it might be time for BPL to do a state-of-the market report on WPB's and an assortment of products made from the...

Re: Are You Spreading the UL Gospel?

Re: Tarps and Bivies
Interesting that Rab describes the ultra bivy as made from "Pertex Quantum Endurance" fabric. There is no such thing. It's either Pertex Quantum, or it's Pertex Endurance. PQ i...

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...
