SUL/UL "conversions" Hire Apple's marketing dept. Geniuses, all. Sponserships (in the form of free equipment---something most cottage industries could do to at least a small degree) and paid "evangelists"... |

Buy a Stand and be counted... Perhaps something in the order of $3 -4 may have been more attractive to some. I think, alas, that many people muse more about equipment lust than act on it. Hmmm, shades of another "indus... |

Trekking Pole preferences I'm still waiting for a really light "Flick-Lock". They have been utterly reliable in years of backcountry skiing---no slippage, no jammed sections. Surely one is possible in a UL sha... |

Freedoms and night vision. I only bring a headlamp for some group trips or for mtneering-----some of the strato volcano climbs involve leaving camp before 1st light and on uneven terrain associated w/ these early forays, hav... |

Hilleberg alternatives I'd like to see more Crux gear available Stateside. This site once lauded one of the Crux Tents as best of the "Bomber" twin-wall 4 season tents. bomber tents |

X-Rocket is all-wet? That's akin to the very dilemma a poncho tarp user faces. C'est la vie. |

The odd bear out. Did Gilbert say anything about the factors that could create such a "rogue" bear? |

Adopt early, adopt often. This was not the first run of the pants. They've been available before----I missed out on that round. My feeling about a Cocoon product-----get it, check it out, return if it doesn't mee... |

To ID or not ID...but the Cocoon is the question. Worth b-itching to Ryan Jordan about---maybe? |

Mountain Laurel Designs Zip In the Sub one pound category of packs made specifically for backpacking, this is probably the finest blend of form and function---a "practical" SUL Pack that is still composed of lightweigh... |

Backpacking Light Firelite SUL-500 Cookpot ...but I do actually own one of these puppies, so I'll chime in. It's thin, thin, thin and I could squeeze a significant dent into it, in my hand. You don't get this extreme level of light... |

Playpus 2L Big Zip It's never leaked in it's 1 1/2 years of use and have come to trust it. I generally use this on group trips where it's nice to have larger volumes of purified water on hand in camp situati... |

Platypus Platy Reservoir The dedicated hydration systems by Platypus are more reliable than the "retrofit" of the resevoir into one. The Big Zip is far better to the purpose. |

BackpackingLight.com Very efficient and friendly CS from BPL. Addie (and Ryan---when A. is on vacation) runs a tight ship----my questions and requests have been handled very promptly and services like running down to the ... |

BMW Cocoon Pro 60 Parka Another preliminary review focusing on fit, features and construction. Although many of you might be more attracted with the (on paper) 1 oz. savings of weight of the Cocoon Hooded Pullover, the Pr... |

Patagonia Ready Mix Softshell Pants I got these to supplement my aging Golite Synergy pants---they have several things going for them. They are very light, very water resistant and have partial leg zips to ease putting on over shoes or ... |

MiniBullDesigns SSBIT Another very fine MBD alcohol stove. This one is a pressurized top jet design that produces a flame narrow enough to use with Heine and Foster can/pots. It was ostensibly designed to retrofit Esbit s... |

ULA Equipment Brian is not only a great designer of packs, but a great sewer, too, when the seamstress brigades of Logan, UT are fully engaged. He also has entertained us over the last few years with on-line diarie... |

MiniBullDesigns Stealth (ver.1) This fierce but absurdly light (.23 oz.) little side-burner is great for boiling water in a Snow Peak 600 cup. Takes about 6 min. Burns for about 8 minutes or so on 1 oz. of fuel. This was an earli... |
