Snugpack or Montbell Dan, I own two Montbells, and the SuperStretch system makes these bags warmer and more comfortable than just a list of stats could indicate. I bought my synthetic bags before I knew about Montbel... |

Re: Doug Ritter Survival Gear Bob, Thanks for bringing up "survival" gear. I met Doug Ritter, and participated in one of his tests. He is a leading expert on survival gear (as you said, most definetly not a survivalist). His f... |

I own two.. never go back to mummy Russell, first of all; I recommend any current super stretch (Ultra Light) down bag; they are the most comfortable and versitile bags I have used; due primarily to the patented super stretch system... |

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 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... |
