Re: Calling Squeaky? Hi Bob- Squeaky says he's back in England. I sent you an e-mail and sent Squeaky a PM through WhiteBlaze.net, where he is a member. That should help you corral him for an interview. -Mark |

Re: habotai silk? You wouldn't really need to source the silk for this particular application, but a silk scarf in place of a bandana or buff can add a touch of class. Maybe a bit foppish, but you can usually get th... |

Re: sewing silnylon That's a cool idea. How do you [or do you] clean it up afterwards? Soap and water? Do you sew through the glue, or is it offset somehow? -Mark |

Re: BPL "Readers Write" Monthly Magazine This is a great idea. My thought would be to just make it into another separate forum called "Readers Writing" or something similar. BPL readers could put out a 'call for papers,' something like...... |

Re: Beeline 900 modifications? If the bag itself wraps around you without being too tight, then it should work fine as a quilt. The seams would probably only cost you about 1" of girth. My idea would be to first slice off the... |

Montbell, GoLite Insulation Whoops. Meant to post this about a week ago... Featured at Campsaver.com: GoLite Cumulus jacket - $125! Montbell UL Thermawrap jacket - $110 Montbell UL Down Inner jacket - $110 -Mark |

Re: Re: Re: Hammock warmth It doesn't seem that hammocks are as widespread in the UL/SUL community as they are in the rest of the outdoor world. But that will hopefully change. A good resource for you to check out would be t... |

Re: Re: Ive got stubby legs... who makes pants for people who look taller sitting down? I can't recommend any pants in particular, but hemming the cuffs is a pretty easy job. There's surely someone in your area that could do it for whatever you buy. -Mark |

Re: Bulk Film Can as Pot Pretty cool idea, I don't see why it wouldn't work. Can you share the dimensions of the containers? Looks like it could be pot-like enough for boiling, but still pan-like enough for some baking or ... |

Re: Essence-UL Revolution-Wait and See Yes, it could be lighter [at some cost]. Now that that's out of the way, the Essence is probably best compared to its true peer group--rather than the miniaturized, feature-thin fringe. I enjoy... |

GoLite Virga Used this one on the AT this summer. My particular model has 1 large pocket on the right-hand side. I accidentally purchased a Small @ 8.1oz, but it ended up working out just fine for size [5'11, ... |

Montrail Masai I like the Masai quite a bit. They don't wear as well as many other shoes. The toe rubber and seams started to flake out around the 300-mile mark, but surprisingly the fabric itself showed very li... |

Gossamer Gear Miniposa I've put about 1000 miles on this pack, and so far it has easily displaced my GoLite Jam as my go-to pack. And I really love my Jam. I had the new Miniposa mailed to me in the middle of a long ... |

Inov8 Flyroc 310 The Flyrocs are quite good. The deep-lugged soles make for excellent grip. I like that the heel isn't significantly raised, so you the shoes feel nice and close to the ground. The open mesh lets some ... |

Evernew Nonstick Titanium 0.9 L Pot This pot has great dimensions. Wide base, but not too shallow. Also wide enough to fit a trimmed spoon inside with my entire kitchen, and still close completely. I like the volume for meals on long-te... |

Gatorade Bottle I'll put a plug in the for the Gatorade Endurance bottles in particular. They are a little more narrow and taller than the standard squatty bottles, so they fit more easily in side pockets. 1L/34oz ca... |

Salomon Tech Amhibian This shoe is almost brilliant. I love the mesh, and the thin tongue is very comfortable. The footbed is probably the most supportive and comfortable I've ever used--no sore spots or aches. My bones an... |

U.S. Department of Defense MRE Spoon Meals-ready-to-eat come with great spoons, and some food, too. I'm not sure who the manufacturer is or where to find them commercially. The spoons have a generous length, long to reach the bottom o... |

Montane Featherlite A great, great windshirt, and I've been really surprised by its inclement weather performance. I've been on brief runs [20-40 minutes] in the rain with the Featherlite. While it eventually wets out an... |

Equinox Silnylon Poncho This is a review of the non-extended version, which I've really grown to like. Just a bit over 7oz, about 7.75 feet long, and a bargain at $40-50. I have had no problems with durability; snags on tree... |
