Online Gear Shops It seems that I'm with Craig and Mike. Normally online gear shops don't play any role in my decision of WHAT gear item to buy (with massive sales being the exception). Normally I decide wha... |

Frankle Excellents news. I'm looking forward to some amazing innovation and refinement. |

BMWO Resources Sounds great. I really like the thought of camping at Benchmark the night before and getting in a little chatting. Last year I was so tired from that 14 hr drive... Tyler, you can get a lot acco... |

Minimus I've got one small hole in in the calf area of my minimus pants from a pointy broken branch. I also cut off the velcro flaps that go over the ankle zips to tighten the ankles. The system doesn&... |

CDT Good point about the removables. The CDT is much closer in weight than I thought. Unfortunately I really ought to be buying a bigger pack right now for some longer trips coming up. Ohm doesn'... |

Kumo et al I'll divulge a bit more because I've actually been thinking a lot lately about adding a simple frameless pack to my quiver. I think what keeps me coming back to the Kumo is the aesthetic... |

Kumo I haven't used it, but the Kumo looks like a sweet little pack. Durable, simple and light. I like how the hipbelt is removable, because I wouldn't use it. To me, a frameless pack is sweet f... |

Focus LT "they've been given no right of reply over the whole review at all." Ryan was clearly talking to them about the weight issue and most likely they knew about the review. And regardles... |

BPL To me, packing light is about understanding and appreciating the role that weight plays in accomplishing your trip goals. It's not some big race to zero. Understanding this puts the gear cho... |

Packs That sucks the regular Ohm is gone. I love mine. Here's a few comments: - I love the compression system on the Ohm. I think it's the best there is, but I have heard one person say it di... |

Spark-Lite Fire Starter (Survival Gear - BPL Gear Shop) I have this kit and the FireLite Mini kit. This sparker is a bit lighter than the FireLite Mini but I don't trust this sparker 100% like I do the FireLite. This sparker doesn't work well wh... |

BPL FireLite Firestarter I love this FireLite Mini. It's the only thing that I 100% trust to start a fire. With a mini Bic you can run out of gas, be at too high of an altitude, get it wet or get it oily. Matches can ... |

Hyperlight Mtn Gear Echo I I wasn't sure where to put this review as the Echo I can be used as either a tarp or a double wall tent. OVERVIEW I've given the Echo I five stars because it's quality construct... |

Golite 2006 Reed Pants I've got the original Reed pants (4oz in a size medium) and they are prefect rain pants for UL hiking. They've been adequately durable, totally waterproof and light. I don't want ankle zip... |

Marmot Essence I'll be the first one to give this jacket 5 stars. Marmot has made a number of changes to this jacket over the years so criticisms of the earlier models are no longer relevant. My Essence is t... |

Baladeo 22 Grams Knife This knife is a brilliant design. Every part of it is functional and the result is a lot of knife for just 22g (or 24.3g as mine as actually weighs). When I opened the (very nice) box and first played... |

Nite ize S-Biner After using another small biner that failed due to a poor design, I switched the Nite Ize Size 1 biner for bear bagging this summer. I use one of these to clip to my 1.4mm spectra cord to my food sack... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Revelation I really like my 2009 MLD Revelation pack. The 1.5oz cuben is great. I think it will last a very long time provided I don't take any good falls on rocky slopes. With some bungie cordage, MLD s... |

Granite Gear Uberlight CTF3 Drysack I bought two of these Uberlight drysacks, a green 7L one for my GoLite Ultra 20 quilt and a orange 10L one for my wife's 15F rated 800FP MEC Merlin sleeping bag. The claimed weights for these d... |

Petzl e+LITE I really like the e+Lite. It's surprisingly bright and I appreciate the red light functionality in the tent. On high, this light is nearly as bright as my Tikka yet it weighs 1/3rd and has additio... |
