Re: Re: Energy Tea The yerbe mate that you get should be ordered from someone who states it is the "energy" type from south america. There are some that don't produce much kick, others have had me craw... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Northern Lites Snowshoes: 25" or 30"? I think you will love them, based on my experience -- even if a smaller shoe might work sometimes, you can always get a much cheaper pair of shoes that are shorter and heavier than the 30" Nor... |

Re: alternative to firelite 500 Brett -- Agree about the MSR. Also noted the stove in Bill's post. It is similar to what I have been experimenting with for a wood stove. It works so far, but Bill's version is better tha... |

UL Texas Hold'em Tourny(s) How about a Texas Hold'em tournament style event, held in the outdoors, using the UL decks from the BPL Gear Shop and pebbles and pine needles or twigs for chips? With the prize being a tent o... |

Re: Monsterpod and Gorillapod tripods I don't think the Monsterpod is the same as the Gorillapod. My partner got me a Gorillapod for SLR's, weighing 5.5 oz. for xmas and it works great with a Nikon D50 and 28 x 200 mm autofocu... |

Re: Re: 10-22mm Hadn't seen this thread ... but would add a thought. The disposable cameras, film, are an option depending on how many pictures you take and the reasons. Having a am-pro set up ... I neve... |

Outdoor Products Hall Pass Day/O'Nite Pack I picked up this pack for $20 US at a Big 5 to experiment with (Campmor has it listed at $14.99). The thought was to see if it would do for a day, a night, and a day camping trip. Here it is packed,... |

Gorillapod SLR I rarely bother to review items I would not use or which deserve less than a 4, but this chain caught my eye. Owning a GorillaPod for SLRs I can't recommend it for a person trying to go UL. So I... |

Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil I have been using the same piece of Reynolds aluminum foil for a windscreen and a food prep area for about 6 months, maybe 8 now. It held up well and is light weight. It is important to get the heav... |

BMW Stealth 0 NANO (6x8) UL Tarp - 4.2 oz. Catenary Ridgeline I don't think I could have found a better tarp to learn with and from. It is fragile compared to heavier fabric tarps, but it is precisely for that reason that it is a great learning tool This... |

Mountain Hardwear Butter Balaclava I entirely agree with Craig S.' review. I carry this item with me everywhere once the weather turns cool or cold. I wear it over or under my Mountain Hardwear Micro beanie, and both of them unde... |

PossumDown Gloves (BPL Gear Shop) These are a real find. I was waiting for the BPL Gear Shop to get them back in stock and am glad I waited. My partner got a pair of gloves from another New Zealand supplier and although they are gre... |

Mountain Hardwear Phantom Down Jacket (Women's) This is a piece of gear my partner obtained. But, it also works for me. She got a large to wear over other items, and it fits me fine as well. It is well made and is warm, but not too hot in cold... |

McNett AquaMira Water Treatment It has taken some time, and a lot of winter boredom, to get to trying out chemical water treatment systems -- goal: reduce weight w/o gagging on the water after treatment. So after studying here I fi... |
