Sacrificing comfort... >>> My journey into ultralight camping has been one of sacrificing creature comfort in the name of mobility through saved weight, a dependence on woodcraft and skill rather than a credit c... |

Use of HAMs If I'm in Utah I know where several key repeaters are that, granted I can hike a bit, I could hit via line of sight. If I'm in a situation where I can't hit a repeater, my thought is t... |

Lightweight HAM Radios... OK, I know a lot of people here bring a minimal amount of rescue gear. The thought is compass, map, clean pair of underwear (in case found dead). That sounds fun to me to be hardcore, no-gadgets,... |

Weight... What is the weight on these? |

Thread and buckles... where to buy? Is there a quality difference between Thru-hiker's Hydrophobe thread and the thread sold at Quest Outfitters? (There sure is a price difference). I need the thread in blue, and thru-hiker onl... |

MB Down Inner... I just got back from Lake Powell and brought my Ultra 20, MLD Bivy, MB Down Inner, a thick fleece balaclava, and some "toe cozies" I made out of fleece. I never actually slept with m... |

Bug netting... Hey Frank, Thanks for posting. I too need the bug netting. Without it people get too scared and want to bring the tent along. |

The little people... I feel you Casey. Compared to most here, I'm still a newbie too. And a lot of the UL gear I now have was due to reading about it on the Review sections (and obviously asking people on the for... |

Ben... good review... Quality work Ben! I'm proud of you for doing your civic duty. I agree with you both. Some better organization would make it more appealing. Let me tell you what I envision: Instead of... |

Contributing to the "Reader Reviews" section To all who post on BPL: I believe the Reader Review section is one of the greatest assets this site has. A good number of people here are just as experienced, or more so, than any "Officia... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Superlight My bivy comes in at 6.3 ounces after removing the bungee that can be tied to the top of your tarp (to keep the fabric off your face). I was holding out forever for a Side Zip Vapr bivy, but after w... |

GoLite Jam2 What I like: 1) The shape of the shoulder straps fit me well, I never have to use the sternum strap (I removed it). The padding on the shoulders is very plush as well. 2) The very wide fabric c... |

Golite Ultra 20 I should preface that I am no quilt connoisseur. The only other quilts I've tried were a Jacks R' Better and an MLD quilt. (Both great products, just not what I was looking for). My size ... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Jacket I love this jacket. My size large weighs in at 7.2 ounces. So far I haven't noticed any real down leakage. It is so light that when I toss it it "floats". It also packs nice and smal... |

REI Lite-Core Short I've gone back to using this pad after trying closed-cell foam pads only. Things I like: - It is fairly comfortable with 1.5" of foam. The comfort level for me rises dramatically bet... |

Pro Lite Gear customer service I have now made quite enough orders with ProLite gear to hope that they carry everything I will ever need - I don't want to order from other companies! I have never spoken with them directly or v... |

Mountain Laurel Designs I've purchased 3 of Ron's products now, all of which have been well designed and of high quality and craftsmanship. My actual items have always been extremely close to the stated weight on th... |
