$600 The Focus LT is $279 - nowhere near $600. Get it on CampSaver with free shipping (even to Canada) and the 20% off coupon (for signing up for their newsletter) and you're at $225 to your door. P... |

Quilts/Bags I'd push the 40F quilt to 30F with warm clothing/smart site selection and then grab a 15F bag for the winter stuff. |

eVent The Westcomb Focus LT eliminates the dichotomy between heavy eVent and a lighter but inferior WPB. This 7oz shell is available in a few weeks and uses new 2.5 layer eVent to ditch weight while reta... |

Paddles You could use two separate small paddles. This works okay. You could also buy different trekking poles that do attach together. If your hiking poles use an internal expander mechanism (as opposed t... |

Discovery Supposedly you're 'rushing to press' yet the photos show a date of Aug. 13 and your thread was started Aug. 15. Very odd. It appears you've given yourself a few days head start o... |

Klymit When Klymit starts adding insulation to their pads they're going to have some really interesting products. |

Expired Spray Old cans can lose their pressure, so I wouldn't take one that I didn't give a short test spray with first. Even then, old cans can seem to have pressure but quickly fade out in a second or ... |

Fish Stories Wow nice fish Mike. Thanks again for the suggestion for this rod. It was your post a year or two ago in the 'fishing' section that led me to it. Last month I was up in the Canadian Arcti... |

Rod Tyler, My rod is a spinning rod. It's a Quantum UL graphite 5 foot , 4-piece rod with the Quantum xtralight 3 ball bearing reel for 3.1 and 5.4oz respectively. I'm not sure if there'... |

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... |
