re: minidroppers and shipping
This is a good point. It would be nice to buy only a few too if it worked out in terms of cost instead of getting an absurd amt. Side note: i really wish BPL would bring back free shipping o...

re: inferno

re: a seriously expensive blade
Jesus, $90 for a blade that you probably won't use that much? I guess if you use a blade lots to shred up tinder, etc then it's worth it. I know I don't use my Swiss Army knife nearly...

Re: MLD tarps

Re: mylar blanket on the PCT

Re: down inner layering system
Ryan, thanks for posting a reply on your results. I'd be interested in seeing how the BPL quilt works out for you. The Ultra 20 is really lofty. I hope it'd keep you warm at 30*! I&...

Re: Montrail Hardrock quality
I used 2 pairs of Hardrocks on my AT thru-hike last year. I'm really not sure what people speak of when they talk about the new poor quality because I unbelievably put about 800 miles on each ...

Bushbuddy "Ultra" (BPL/Ryan Jordan/Arctic 1000 Version) Wood Stove
