MT / WY Mike, I love these questions. The answers are really easy: 1. "You can't go wrong if you go..." That's mostly true. All the ideas above are really good. 2. "Transportat... |

Fate of the BPL Wiki Hello Everyone, Should BPL continue supporting the BPL Wiki? The reason that I'm asking this question is that content development of the Wiki has slowed down since its initial launch, and... |

The Addiction to Digital Cameras Will Leave You Empty in the Long Run I am selling most of my camera gear. I am keeping: 1. My Nikon FM3a because with Fuji Velvia and the excellent 28mm AIS lens, it provides my favorite color for landscape photography that is n... |

The Merits of Taking a High Route There are merits to taking the high route: 1. You get out of the vegetation so you can see the big picture. 2. The air is cleaner which delivers more oxygen to your brain so you can think more ... |

Tenkara Hanes Now in Stock! Hi All, Tenkara Hane Fly Fishing Rods are now back in stock in limited supply! It's snowy and cold in Montana but the brown trout are spawning and midges are still hatching, so it's a... |

How UL Backpacking Creeps Into My Daily Life I love existing in the lunatic fringe because it makes for good stories and a life lived with vigor. But by itself, it's not enough. I think UL has a lot more substance than just being &q... |

Achieving Coastal Bliss coastalbliss: You may have pigeonholed yourself with the discussion already by asking the question, "do you have recommendations for heavy gear that can replace our heavier gear?" Y... |

mKettle Marketing Hi All, mKettle sent me a sample to test. I had nothing to do with the development and this was my first interaction with them. Test I did. I wrote in a private email to the manufacturer'... |

Jolt Gum You guys are rookies. Look at the times at which you are posting. I consumed four pieces of Jolt two hours ago and look at me, still going strong at 2 am. There is a weird flavor to it, but I ca... |

Mike Clelland! GOO Energy Gel I've used Mike's, and made my own per his recipe. It's nasty. The color, I mean. Like a pukey green. But then again, that may very well provide some of its social appeal when hiking or skiing in... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) OK, I'm partial. I grew up in Seattle. For a kid who dreamed about the wilds endlessly, my Dad taking my family from our home in the burbs to Capitol Hill was a real treat for me. I have fond me... |

Complete Walker by Colin Fletcher If you love to WALK and you haven't read this book then you are (1) not only missing out on a rite of passage that qualifies you to even claim that you're a backpacker, (2) but also ignoring what may ... |

Black Diamond Winter Bivy I have a few Epic bivies, one from Oware, one from BD (Lightsabre) and one from Bibler (this one, the Winter Bivy). They are both great in the summer, especially in rainy weather, where the Epic treat... |

ULA Equipment I've known Brian Frankle for a few years. Recently, Brian made backpacks for us for the Arctic 1000 expedition. He was very attentive to our feedback, delivered on time, made adjustments as needed, an... |

Six Moon Designs Essence Welllll, I must say, I think PJ did a fine review above, but if you're looking for additional reading insight, I don't think I can follow up. I feel like the local coffee shop guitar player with a bad... |

ULA Equipment Relay I love the Relay. It's my favorite pack for multi-day mountain running because it's so small (tucks into the lumbar) and shaped so well (hourglass) for running. Improvements could be made by adding... |

Montrail Vitesse This is my go-to shoe for all of my longer unsupported/no resupply treks where I absolutely cannot have a shoe fail en route. I've worn through about six pair of Vitesse now, all of them had more t... |

Inov8 Mudclaw O'330 Far and away my absolute favorite light shoe for what the Brit's call "fell running" but what I might call "tundra" trekking. It's great in soft ground (tundra, mud) but abysmal on trails and slickroc... |
