Re: Re: FeatherFire vs. PocketRocket Just the stove weighs 42g and I weighed the stove + fuel at about 80g, so I had about 40g or nearly 2 ounces of fuel in there (I think a fluid oz of methanol weighs 22g). After the stove was out... |

E85 This is probably silly, but what about using E85 or E95 in an alcohol stove? Would the 15% (or 5%) that is gasoline render this fuel dangereous to use? Or would it perform like ethanol? If it i... |

Re: Alcohol Stove Math No I can't get DN alcohol. I don't think it's sold in Canada. I might be able to get 191 proof booze but that's quite expensive and I've never seen any at the liquor store. Mayb... |

Re: Re: New vs. Old "Not sure what you mean here. It has pockets doesn't it? Or are you saying that they are not insulated?" My wife's parka (which is the old version) has the 2 pockets on the out... |

FeatherFire vs. PocketRocket My FeatherFire arrived today so I decided to conduct some tests to compare it to my PocketRocket. I wanted to see which is lighter....the Pocket Rocket or the FeatherFire plus windscreen. The Feath... |

Review I posted a review of the new Montbell U.L. Down Inner Parka here: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=23790 It's at the botto... |

New vs. Old I just checked out my wife's Down Inner Parka (size small), which is the older style because she really wanted black. Here's a couple differences I noticed: - The new parka does not hav... |

MB Down Inner Parka - Review of Updated Parka I got my Montbell Parka today. It's the newly revised parka in Men's size Medium. Color is Olive Green. FIT First off, I tried it on. I am 5'11, 160lbs and to my relief the fit is g... |

Waterproofing True enough....you're right in this regard. A waterproof rating that is 8 times higher doesn't mean it can handle 8 times more abrasion before it is no longer waterproof. I would guess ... |

Re: Tarptent vs MSR "As far as the CR2 being tougher, please elaborate." I never said it was tougher. I just said a 10,000mm floor can stand up to more abrasion/wear than a 1200mm floor before it is no long... |

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... |
