All at once From my testing, my alcohol stove uses about 50% more fuel to boil a liter (4 cups) instead of a pint (2 cups). My stove takes about 20g of fuel to boil the pint and 30g to boil the liter. Unless I... |

Re: Montbell down Inner vs Marmot Zeus "Note that the MB UL down has no zippers or drawstrings" This is no longer the case. Montbell updated the U.L. Down Inner about 2 months ago so there is now an adjustable cinch cord in... |

Nice These are great stoves. I love my FeatherFire. |

Shiny It's not as shiny as it appears in my photos. It's a little bit more shiny than the Montbell photo. Overall, it's closer to the MontBell photo than it is to my photos. |

NeoAir I've used the MEC Kelvin Summer Pad which is a user inflatable design like the NeoAir. It's 3.5" thick. I find the NeoAir loses a similar portion of air. |

Ideas Golite Peak (coming out in Feb)? GG Gorilla? |

Best My point is simply that other brands make sweet packs too, which Joe indicates is not the case. I disagree with the assertion that other brands are not capable of balancing weight, durability and c... |

Drying I just shake out as much water as I can and then leave mine sitting out for a few days on the counter while the rest evaporates. If you are in a hurry, you could somehow secure a small towel to a s... |

Re: Weight increase mentioned in annual update "His packs are the best combination of light weight, durability, and weight-carrying capacity. With packs from other makers, choose two of those three." This seems highly debatable. I&... |

21 Isn't the Ohm 21oz? That's a big difference. If I were you, I'd be considering the Ohm vs. the Gorilla. The Gorilla is more versatile since the frame, waist belt and sternum strap ar... |

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... |
