Re: confusion with Ray Way Curious, I perused the site and while they note the kit is to be used in conjunction with the book I couldn't find any documentation that they wouldn't sell the kit without the book. As you not... |

Re: Canon SD400 I've not yet found a digicam suitable for me, but I bought my wife an SD400 for her birthday (to replace her dead digicam). It's a very competent little camera, and I'm pleasantly surprised at the ... |

Re: Re: Essence-Ultralight Revolution-NOT Oh yeah, forgot to ask: will the Essence accommodate a bear canister (vertical/horizontal/both)? Thanks |

Re: Leki anti-shock problem. Help? Also check whether the threaded stud might be bent. I bent mine somehow and both the shock absorber and expansion joint would hang up. REI-Leki replaced the section and all was well (after three ye... |

Re: msr capillary stove system Good question. I've lost track of this technology after MSR showed prototypes back in '04. That they were't very light and at the same time, projected to be quite expensive seemed to work against t... |

Re: Essence Pack Hi Ron, I'm always gratified to see new and different takes on well-established gear concepts, which on first glance the Essence seems to represent. That it's not ninty-six grams isn't a persona... |

Re: How to sleep without FRICTION?? I've switched to a NeatSheet as a non-slip groundcloth. Works great. For slick shelter floors, striping it with some silicone seems to work against mild slopes. |

Re: Questions on 2006 Osprey Aether 60 Hi Will, I enjoyed your review--the Aether is one of my favorite packs and it's interesting to see how much it's evolved. I've got a 1st gen (2# 5oz, size large for those keeping score at home) ... |

Re: Grivel Air Tech Light crampons tested in shop Hi Anatoly, Sorry for the delay, but I've just now received the Kahtoola steels I'll be testing for Backpackgeartest. All I've had time for is to fit them to my boots and trail sneakers, and com... |

Mountain Gear I've placed a few orders with Mountain Gear, going as far back as when they were based in Idaho, and they've responded flawlessly each time. I admire the breadth and high quality of their sele... |

Backcountrygear.com I have to put in a plug for these folks, with whom I've shopped on line and over the phone, and who also have a store in soggy Eugene, Oregon. They have a great backpacking and climbing selection f... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) As another Seattle kid who loved few things more than pilgrammages to the Capitol Hill store, I still associate the smell of cresote with hiking gear. It's hard to imagine backpacking without REI. ... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover I upgraded to the Micro Puff pullover after several seasons with the old Puffball pullover. Lighter, warmer, stuffs smaller--the Micro Puff is an all-around improvement to what was already a fine garm... |

MSR Titan Kettle Noting the shape isn't the most efficient for squeezing every btu from the stove, the MSR kettle remains a very good single-pot option. It packs nicely, works well with small to medium stoves, pours w... |

MSR SimmerLite I find the Whisperlite to be MSR's easiest liquid stove to use, and certainly the nicest to lug, bulk and weight-wise. Simmering performance is best with a light touch on the fuel pump--try using l... |

Golite Hex 3 I've used a Hex 2, the 3's somewhat smaller brother, with good success for a few seasons. The quarters are a little snug for six-footers, but it's a minor concern. My main complaint is that the ventil... |
