Esbit Stove Capabilities I'm curious about the capabilities of Esbit stoves. The Titanium one sold here at BPL looks like a nice design and it weighs a mere 11g. http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglig... |

New 20F Golite Quilt It's too bad the new 20F quilt doesn't just gain a few ounces of down. Then I would be jealous. I'm not sure if it still has the waterproof fabric at the foot and neck area, and the ... |

Re: Best DWR treatment? I've only ever used NikWax and Grangers. My understanding is that Grangers lasts about 2x as long because it's not wax based like NikWax. NikWax is better for the env't and it works wel... |

Down GoLite announced at the Outdoor Retailer market about 1-2 weeks ago that they are replacing the Ultra 20 with two new quilts. There is an article on it on this site. They announced a new 20F quilt ... |

Me! My base pack weight is 11-13 lbs depending on the trip and how much stuff I do without. That includes a GoLite Jam2, GoLite Ultra 20, NeoAir and MSR Carbon Reflex 2 tent. Two years ago, I was u... |

Re: GoLite Ultra 20 (brief review) The Ultra 20 quilt isn't designed to go over your head, which is why you find the regular length barely adequate for your 5'8" self. You might want to plan alternative head insulation ... |

Re: My General 3 Season Gear List Wow Mike....you've got a great knowledge of the articles here on BPL. I'm off to go read all of those. I'm currently doing research into alcohol and esbit stoves. I like the idea of ... |

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... |
