velcro Don't know if this is related to the stuff Walmart sells labeled, "Velcro Reusable Ties." Tried it becasue it's two-sided and thinner, but found that it loses its adhesion pretty... |

food in the pack OK, so long as you use a proven odorproof bag liner, and are willing to risk its not working 100%, or leaking odors to its exterior when you take it in and out of the pack and take food in and out ... |

mid poles Michael, The 433 and 490 are two different tubes. Good that you came up with the new Easton spec sheet. For a long time the old one was taken off their site. The new spec sheet appears to be th... |

carbon tube David, Thanks for links and info. Too bad the golf shafts are all tapered. Don't see how a segmented folding pole could be made very well from the tapered tubes. Thanks also for the lin... |

mid poles Jerry, Don't know about stronger, but guessing also that the carbon RL pole is stiffer. The Easton .433 poles, although very strong, are made for larger hoop and dome tents, or possible small... |

Marmot Rockstar Pant These pants were purchased after trying a number of DWR, quick drying polyester and nylon products in search of lighter weight. However, all were very baggy, and none met the secondary goal of having ... |

Mont Bell Ultra-Light Spiral Down Hugger #3 Long Bought this shortly after the BPL review came out. It was my first down bag since the 70's. The outstanding DWR treatment shown in the review persuaded me that a down bag might work for me agai... |

Potable Aqua Iodine Drinking Water Germicidal Tablets It is a good emergency item, because, as already pointed out, it takes up almost no weight or space. It addresses both the crypto and giardia if one waits the recommended times. Should the main wa... |

Sealskinz Ultra Grip Black Glove Tried them a few years ago for winter snowshoeing, which involved a lot of bushwacking. Clammy, wet, cold and eventually, frozen fingers. Just about anything else is better, even just leather. Am su... |

Remington RMHL2AAA-B While I have always used hang lights in camp instead of headlamps, ordered this item because of Keith's excellent review. Was pleased to note that the beam was as bright and more even than the Ph... |

MSR Mountain Safety Research HyperFlow microfilter My understanding from this and other sites is that this filter is not effective after thawing once the element has been frozen. If this is not so, it would be helpful to have this corrected. Otherwi... |

SnowPeak Gigapower LI The only drawback for this stove was the lack of a windscreen, such that it did not perform efficiently in windy conditions. The manufacturer's screen sold separately is stainless steel, and on th... |
