Dbl Rainbow Yeah the Dbl Rainbow is a nice tent if you are in the market for a single wall. It's lighter than a double wall like the CR2 and it's more spacious.....although you kinda need the extra spa... |

Re: Tarptent vs MSR The floor of the CR2 is rated at 10,000mm waterproof. That refers to how much pressure it can handle before water is able to penetrate. Tarptents are Silnylon and thus are rated at about 1200mm of ... |

Marmot Mica Marmot's Mica jacket is really light....I think it's about 210g (7.5oz). The women's version (Crystalline) is spec'd at 198g (7oz) for a wmns medium. |

Packafeather Thanks for the info....I'm going to make a few different windscreens and try to do some controlled testing at home to see which works the best for me. I think I'm going to do a 4" high... |

pad I use mine with a NeoAir that is also 20 x 72 x 2.5. It works well. Generally I just have the whole quilt tucked in around me, and not around the quilt. In colder weather you might want to tuck it ... |

Cone Thanks for measuring. I sincerely appreciate that. Is that a FeatherFire stove I see poking out in the last picture? I was wanted to make a caldera cone but Dave from PackaFeather said that ... |

Yup...Ultra 20 Yup...the Ultra 20 is a great choice. It's pretty optimistically rated so it really is like a 30F quilt unless you are layering heavily under it. It's very light (19oz) and affordable. Chec... |

Evernew 1.3L Ti Pot - Dimensions Please I've got a 1.3L Evernew Non-Stick Ti Pot on order and I'd like to make a windscreen for it while it's in the mail. Evernew lists the dimensions at 5.91" x 3.03" but I presu... |

Homemade Mug The wheels are turning now....I wonder if I could make a double wall, insulated Mug using 2 McDonald's cups that is more durable and better insulating that just one. I could use some aerosol ca... |

Styrofoam A generic styrofoam cup seems really light and has good insulating properties. The problems are just durability, lack of handle and perhaps the somewhat small size. I can get past the last two '... |

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... |
