Re: Na on the MSR Tim: "MSR states that the floor is 50 inches wide. That a crock of crap." There's been a lot of trashing of MSR for this, when in reality MSR does not claim the floor to be 50"... |

Juan de Fuca I'm starting to plan this JDF trip. Looks like it's going to be October 12th - 16th or so. As per Mike's recommendations, I'm planning to spend nights (in this order) at: 1) Be... |

Re: MSR vs. Tarptent "I have on order right now a Tarptent Moment(which I also intend to keep) for solo use which will be the majority of my outings" How do you manage to slip away from the wife and kids f... |

Bombproof Yes it's bombproof initially...not so much 10 years later. Floors see a lot of abrasion so the waterproofing wears pretty fast....unless you're using a ground sheet but that's the heavi... |

Floor From the TarpTent FAQ: Q: Should I order a groundsheet? A: It depends on the conditions you expect to encounter and your style of camping. The sewn-in flooring is remarkably tough and does not ... |

Re: Tarptent v.s MSR "Oh, one other thing - the CR2 is about the same size as the regular Rainbow. It is much, much smaller than the Double Rainbow. The single Rainbow is hardly 'about the same size' as... |

Re: Tarptent v.s MSR "A 10,000mm rating on the floor is completely, utterly unnecessary unless you decide to set up your tent in a puddle. It is a marketing tool by MSR to make sure that potential consumers are no... |

Re: Tarptent vs MSR "Most people carry a ground cloth with a Tarptent for protection from holes, not water." Really? It seems fairly easy to almost eliminate the chance of holes by carefully removing any ... |

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... |
