Re: re: My General 3 Season Gear List Jamie: "go test it out. I wouldn't suggest people make huge jumps without doing some testing along the way. Successful UL'ing depends on skill as much as gear. You made some big change... |

Re: nice jacket S P: "The insulation is slightly less, 40g/m^2 vs 50g/m^2, but with the way the MEC jacket is designed, it might be just as warm. Looks like it is slightly heavier but costs less" Are ... |

Re: Re: My General 3 Season Gear List Brad: "one other thing I'm looking at would set you back maybe 45 bucks... your cookset weighs 9.4 ounces. Pot, lid, lifter. Pretty heavy for a 1L setup. Evernew 0.9L short is 4.1 ounces u... |

Re: My General 3 Season Gear List David: "that list would never work for me in the Banff, Jasper area. I would be way too cold." Cold at night (sleeping) or while awake (ie. outside the tent)? I think that my sleeping ... |

Re: jealous! Matt: "I think your scale might be reading slightly low though. My platypus 1.0L with just a normal cap is 1.5oz on my scale...If my scale is off, my bad!" The 'platyBottle' is... |

Re: re: Jamie, The new 2010 Jam now weighs 31oz, so the Peak is less than the Jam as you would expect. |

2010 GoLite Peak Until now, the only info I had heard on the new GoLite Peak backpack (little brother to the Jam) is from the BPL coverage at the outdoor retailer show which didn't say much more than the weight... |

oh Ahh I see....that makes a lot more sense. |

FWIW FWIW, my 2009 Jam weighs 24.3oz (688g) down from 26.7oz (755g) thanks to removing the hydration bladder and trimming the straps. |

Jam Golite almost needs a new line of packs that are more 'hardcore ultralight' with the Pinnacle/Jam/Peak line getting fatter and fatter. Something more in tune with the original idea behind t... |

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... |
