Re: Thanks John Yeah, at this point we have a record amount for this time of year (in most places in the Cascades) but things can change quickly. If we get a lot of warm, windy days then you'll have no problem... |

Re: Re: Nafta Thanks Greg. I just misunderstood the original quote from Integral Designs. I still find the quote from them confusing, but don't care anymore. Your description is what I understood to be true,... |

Re: leki I've never had a problem with a flick lock. I've had problems with every pole that contains a twist lock. The GG LT4s are the best though. It took me a long time before I had a slip and a l... |

Gossamer Gear Another GG review, another five out of five. This time, I broke a pole section (the lower part, or tip). It was my fault (I stepped on it) and not the fault of the pole. A call to customer support (I&... |

Ultrapod Mini I am very happy with my Ultrapod Mini. It does what is supposed to do very well. You often have to be resourceful with it; but with a little imagination, you can take great pictures. For example, if y... |

Pentax Optio WP I very much like my Optio WPi (6 mp). I have found the waterproof feature to be of much greater value than I originally expected. For winter pictures, it is really handy to set up a picture and not wo... |

Eureka Zues II Exo I bought this tent a few years ago, before I knew about tarp tents. I have been happy with it, but it is a little smaller and heavier than a tarp tent. As a free standing tent, it is more round, which... |
