Re: Fill in the Blanks Wow this thread is a bit daunting with all those questions....here goes nothing: Tent: Big Agnes Seedhouse SL3 Sleeping Bags: I dunno....if you got the coin get Western Mountaineering down ba... |

thoughts I'm not sure if you're referring to bladders that you'd use with a hose, or just a bladder type bottle like the platyBottle from Platypus. I use the platyBottle and quite like it. It... |

Re: Dymo Scales Yeah it looks like a good scale. I've found my $3.99 scale to be extremely accurate (to the gram) so I'm sure this scale with a $50 MSRP is quite accurate too. From the discription, it appe... |

Why Have you considered something like Lite My Fire's Spork? The spork weighs 10g vs. 16g and you get the fork and knife (sorta) too....plus it's super cheap. On the downside it doesn't fol... |

Re: map & compass? I did intentional drop the compass because I figured I don't need it for trips on well established trails.....I would bring it for longer more remote trips. I don't know if I'm going... |

Realistically under 10lbs My goal for my gear list right now is to get my gear list to sub 10lbs while being more realistic. I will normally want to bring my tent body (instead of just using it in fly/footprint mode) and pe... |

Arcteryx The Arcteryx packs are nice but super heavy. The smallest Naos (45L) weighs 4lbs, 3oz. That goes up to 6lbs 8oz for the largest size (85L). |

Re: now these are light :) Mike, Those 1g stakes are wild. I believe BPL said they were totally unusable. I think some Ti stakes around 5g could be good though. The problem is price.....Ti stakes seem to be around $20 for... |

Re: MSR Carbon Reflex 2 David: "why the footprint? Just use Polyco. Is it to set it up fly only? If so, I think you might find it remarkably unstable in that format. You have taken off guylines but do you not ever... |

Product Neat product....it looks extremely warm. Any chance of getting one more aimed at 3 season use? Something about 1/2 as thick with 1/2 the down could be an extremely compelling product. It should be ... |

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... |
