Packs Thanks for chiming in....I really do value everyone's opinions. My wife doesn't hike that much....maybe 2 weekend trips and one 5-7 day trip per year. Accordingly, I'm inclined to g... |

canisters Figuring out fuel usage and how much fuel is in a canister is a bit of a pain but I'm fine with doing that. What I really don't like is how I can't take precisely the amount of fuel I w... |

Re: Re: Women and frameless packs Greg: "She now has a Granite Gear Vapor Ki and is in heaven." Nice pack, but 59L is kinda large. It seems they don't make a smaller version of this pack. Something around 40-45L wo... |

Confused I'm just researching alcohol stoves and I'm a bit confused. There seems to be 3 commonly used alcohols, all of which have problems. Pure ethanol works good but 95% Everclear is expensiv... |

Boiling Nice stove! Does it have the horsepower to bring a liter of water to a boil? All of their claims are based around 0.5L. |

Answers I guess this thread is pointless since I'm answering all my own questions. The Montbell seems to be significantly because: - it snaps up instead of having a zipper - no pockets - lighter ... |

Hmmm Does anyone know why the Montbell jkt is about half the weight of the other jackets when they are all using 800fp down? The shell material is a bit lighter (15 denier vs 22 denier for the patag... |

Montbell Okay I found some great ones from Montbell. They sell their 'UL Down Inner Jacket' for $145 and it weighs 6.9oz (2.0oz of which is insulation). They also sell the 'Ex Light Down Jacket&... |

Puffy Top Layer (Down Jackets) I'm a little confused about a good target weight for a down top. Most examples I've been able to find seem kinda heavy. For comparison, my Sierra Designs fleece that I'm looking to repl... |

thanks Thanks for responding...alcohol sounds like a better choice but I'm not sure it's a good decision to do this over a canister stove. The thing I hate about canisters stoves is having to gues... |

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... |
