Re: Re: Canada "Dan - What you may or may not know is that most US retailers ship UPS or Fedex not USPS due to amazing bulk discounts given by these couriers." Fair enough....that's good to know.... |

Canada Yes the PlatyBottles were from Monod in Banff. The duty charges for most stuff coming in to Canada is the same as the same tax you pay locally. So here in BC, I pay 12% duty because the taxes in... |

Canada There aren't too many. I got some Platy Bottles out of a place in Banff but that's about it. What bothers me is that most USA online stores offer free shipping within the USA, but if you... |

Pack I know it's already been discussed, but that 6 lbs pack has got to go. Since it's in good shape, you can probably sell it and buy a lighter pack without spending any additional money. W... |

Saving Weight Keep in mind that buying a pot that is borderline too small is not a good way to save weight. The goal of saving weight is to make your outdoors experience more enjoyable. Saving 1 oz but having to... |

Year Perhaps it would be useful for people to mention what year/generation of Montbell jkts they are using. The older ones (ie. snap up) fit a full size smaller than the later generations like I'm u... |

Wet Trip It's looking like it's gonna be an awfully wet trip. They're calling for sun on Monday when we show up, but then rain for the next 4 days. I personally kinda like the rain because it... |

Nice Nice idea. I just finished a 6g bubble-wrap case for my camera. |

Hindsight On hindsight, I would have: - Bought more 'cottage' gear ie. Tim Marshalls 11oz cuben/down quilt instead of my 19oz Golite Ultra 20 quilt. - Gone with a lighter (ie. cuben or Silnyl... |

small You'll probably be good with a small. I'm a hair under 6 feet and 160lbs and the medium fits me good. A lot of the colors look subtle to me....slate blue, olive green, bark... |

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... |
