	Hyperlite Mountain Gear Porter / Expedition Pack Review "Hendrik - that is a nasty post. Really. Uncalled for and hasn't advanced the discussion one bit." +1 Shame to see this place, which was once good and fair, degenerate so much. ...

	"Pyrenean High Route (France, Spain and Andorra)" Felicidades, y buen hecho. Te admiro un monton, hago trozos de la ruta, pero poco a poco, y me has inspirado hacer mas el verano que viene. Grandes fotos, y un gran viaje de toda la vida. Enhorabu...	In Post-Trip Reports » Pyrenean High Route (France, Spain and Andorra) January 14, 12:11pm
	Journalistic style Hi Dave, You are putting words into my mouth if you suggest I advocate a 'bland' approach. I am merely pointing out what most editors would point out. The discussion of the journalistic ...	In Editor's Roundtable » Hyperlite Mountain Gear Porter / Expedition Pack Review January 12, 8:01am
	"Hyperlite Mountain Gear Porter / Expedition Pack Review" As someone on the fence about joining back up here, it is good to see more content and was tempted by the review to look at the free three paragraphs you can read as a non member. The tone and sty...	In Editor's Roundtable » Hyperlite Mountain Gear Porter / Expedition Pack Review January 12, 7:17am
	Content Tony, I applaud your efforts to keep things constructive in this thread. You asked for non member feedback with some specific questions, so here goes...

	Writing is on the wall, I'm afraid. Unfortunately, from the information provided concerning the working model of the enterprise in this thread, and the history of BPL, I think this site will be members only in the very near future, f...

	Clear business model? I don't think so- BPL is in decline and it is symptomatic of the declining quality of reality in general. I was a member, paid for a year and learned a lot, and then decided I had enough value from the site by treating it as free infotainment rather than anything I would pay to read, and didn't ren...

	Gossamer Gear Murmur Dyneema DX First Look I like the look of this pack, and the weight doesn't bother me as it looks durable and will last a long time. This is a trade off I am willing to make. YMMV. I sold my silnylon Murmur as I had...	In GEAR » Gossamer Gear Murmur Dyneema DX First Look December 05, 4:37am

	Mountain Laurel Designs SoloMid Cuben MLD SoloMid Cuben Review I like my SoloMid, especially the weight, but it is a compromise, but a compromise that specialist equipment requires the user to understand and live with. I have the yell...	In Shelters - Tarps & Floorless August 23, 4:00pm
	Golite Ion Golite Ion Review I know you can't buy this any more, but it really deserves a 5 out of 5 as it is easily the best pack I've used for UL adventures, if you can get all your gear in. It is ...	In Backpacks - Frameless August 23, 3:48pm
	ULA Circuit Circuit review: I've used the new Circuit for only day hikes so far, with all my 3/4 day gear (weight: ± 9 kg, including 1.5l of water- about 20 lbs) to see how it was, and it has been really ...	In Backpacks - Internal Frame May 17, 1:49am
