Year End Sales & Promotions at BPL Hello Everyone, I wanted to take a short bit of your time to let you know what's around the corner in the gear shop. Historically, BPL has always had a year end sale, primarily as a benef... |

Re: Guess Not Hi Mark, We're in the process of putting the finishing touches on the App this month, testing in September, and hopefully a release in October, or whenever Apple gives their final approval. ... |

Baladeo 34g I've been using the Baladeo knife for several months and I'm not a knife guy. The only utility I've been able to find with a knife to make it worth the weight, and hassle of keeping tra... |

more gnat John, Toss the case. Thus, case weight = 0. Seriously, though, I can't see any compelling reason to bring a "stove case" on a trek. I know it's there to protect the stove... |

Gnat Review Conciseness The review was concise because there just isn't a lot to say about a product that seems to work as well as anything else. The real appeal of this stove to me was its aesthetics, which are su... |

Frank Church A wonderful report Forrest, thank you. I love the Church. I did a ski traverse of about 90 miles across it in 1991 that included a hearty swim of the M Fk.. An amazing and quiet place in the win... |

Re: Re: Panny G2 vs GF1 I have lots of shooting time with both the Olympus and Panasonic systems and I loathe them both. It it were not for the truly incredible Panasonic/Leica u4/3 45mm/2.8 lens I would have cashed ou... |

Re: RE: Lightheart Solo Greg -- 1. The big NeoAir fits in fine, which means so will you. You'll probably want to tuck the foot end of your long size bag/pad as far down into the foot end corner of the tent as you ... |

Lightheart Solo I'm in the process of wrapping up the review of the Lightheart Solo. I see you all comparing it to the Moment, which is reasonable, even though the design strategy of the two tents is very d... |

FS: Big Sky International Revolution 1P I have a Revolution 1P for sale for $100. This is an older rev., probably around rev. C. It's used but in good shape with no defects or fly damage, floor has minor wear (caveat: poles, se... |

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... |
