Alpacka Dry Suits Thanks Ryan. I'm also looking forward to this 'spot light'. Regarding feet, some Rocky Gore-Tex socks should do the trick to keep your feet dry if desired. I assume the ankle gaskets... |

Clipping Inner Dan, Are you clipping the four corners of the inner net to the Duomid at the stakes? Or are you clipping it to or near the webbing that holds the Lineloc?" I'm using clip/hooks to attac... |

LineLoc3's Thanks guys. Good to hear some more experiences. My LineLoc3 experiences have all been positive as well. At 1.5g each, I don't mind the extra 12g on my shelter in exchange for a quicker pitch. ... |

Any LineLoc3 failures/trouble? Just curious is anyone has experienced any failures/breakage/trouble/freezing with LineLoc3 tensioners? I was mulling over Skurka's article on guylines where he says he moved beyond line... |

Zebralight Probably a Zebralight H51, but head over to their site and choose whatever one uses the type of battery you prefer. As an aside, I wish they made an AAA based mini version of the H51 at about 40... |

Staking UL2 "Dan, you are going to stake out the sides of the fly anyway." In normal conditions, the only reason to stake out the sides of the fly is to keep it off the inner. You aren't going t... |

Articles Next week looks solid too. I'm looking forward to Dave C's article on winter. |

BA FC UL2 "Stuck to the sides? I reread the article and Brad mentions almost too much space between the fly and the inner." The unnecessarily large inner/fly gap Brad mentions is along the r... |

FC UL2 "[the door letting rain in] has never been an issue with me and these designs. The rain rarely falls at the very tip of the footprint. Instead, it falls on my back or person. " Rain fa... |

Tarp Techniques Great article. I've been loving my mid, but there are definately advantages to a flat tarp and developing these skills is a worthwhile pursuit. "If the simple assumption is made that ea... |

Spark-Lite Fire Starter (Survival Gear - BPL Gear Shop) I have this kit and the FireLite Mini kit. This sparker is a bit lighter than the FireLite Mini but I don't trust this sparker 100% like I do the FireLite. This sparker doesn't work well wh... |

BPL FireLite Firestarter I love this FireLite Mini. It's the only thing that I 100% trust to start a fire. With a mini Bic you can run out of gas, be at too high of an altitude, get it wet or get it oily. Matches can ... |

Hyperlight Mtn Gear Echo I I wasn't sure where to put this review as the Echo I can be used as either a tarp or a double wall tent. OVERVIEW I've given the Echo I five stars because it's quality construct... |

Golite 2006 Reed Pants I've got the original Reed pants (4oz in a size medium) and they are prefect rain pants for UL hiking. They've been adequately durable, totally waterproof and light. I don't want ankle zip... |

Marmot Essence I'll be the first one to give this jacket 5 stars. Marmot has made a number of changes to this jacket over the years so criticisms of the earlier models are no longer relevant. My Essence is t... |

Baladeo 22 Grams Knife This knife is a brilliant design. Every part of it is functional and the result is a lot of knife for just 22g (or 24.3g as mine as actually weighs). When I opened the (very nice) box and first played... |

Nite ize S-Biner After using another small biner that failed due to a poor design, I switched the Nite Ize Size 1 biner for bear bagging this summer. I use one of these to clip to my 1.4mm spectra cord to my food sack... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Revelation I really like my 2009 MLD Revelation pack. The 1.5oz cuben is great. I think it will last a very long time provided I don't take any good falls on rocky slopes. With some bungie cordage, MLD s... |

Granite Gear Uberlight CTF3 Drysack I bought two of these Uberlight drysacks, a green 7L one for my GoLite Ultra 20 quilt and a orange 10L one for my wife's 15F rated 800FP MEC Merlin sleeping bag. The claimed weights for these d... |

Petzl e+LITE I really like the e+Lite. It's surprisingly bright and I appreciate the red light functionality in the tent. On high, this light is nearly as bright as my Tikka yet it weighs 1/3rd and has additio... |
