Ties in Wash.? Something's not kosher. Wait a minute Doug---no one wears a shirt and tie in Wash. state. Regional costume regulations call for a Columbia Sportswear Plaid Shirt----unless you're one of them immigrant Californicators.... |

re. Epic for pyramid tent First of all, could you describe the seasons, conditions, and geographic location where you would be using such a shelter? Given all the venting options possible for a pyramid style tent, I don... |

By and by... It is a minefield, Chris. As you participate more on this site, you will probably get more exposed to my (peculiar, edgy, dark?---fill in the blank) brand of humor. :-)> I'm not really ques... |

Reed vs. Rainshadow They both are quality garments. Depends on your goals. The Reed is lighter by 3 oz. The Rainshadow may breathe a bit better and is made of a little bit tougher fabric. I personally, have been pleas... |

It's all about discipline and opportunism You don't want to be breathing down a eVENT bivy, either. A wonder fabric, perhaps, but not a laws of physics breaking wonder fabric. As Brett says, keep mouth and nose exposed to opening. Also... |

Big Sky pie in the sky---people digging in... If this were the "Ain't It Cool News" site---someone would respond to the earlier posting with "PLANT". But we all know that we're all honest on this site.... >:-)&g... |

WP Digicams--how necessary? Really? None of the Canon's to my knowledge, are splashproof, however, I have used a Digital Elph for years in all weathers. No problems, apart from wiping rain droplet's off the lens while in use.... |

Electrocute the pesky buggers---LW style Bravo, Brian. I really hope these get certified-- for both black bear and grizzly. I'd like to be able to confidently use one of these puppies in Denali Nat'l Park in future. |

Reed rainpants Actually, the lower half of your body doesn't sweat any where to the degree of your torso. Rain jacket breathability is far more crucial. The Reed Pants breathe a little---and while not quite a... |

Bag cover as sole shelter Yes, Christopher, but like we Alpinists, you Adventure Racers are nuts. :-D> I salute your adaptability. Incidentally, do you use the Dry-Tec or GT version? |

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... |
