CR2 vs. Hubba Hubba It is impressive that MSR managed to drop the weight by about 600g (vs. Hubba Hubba) without compromising very much. Interior space, waterproofing and durability is all pretty much the same. Ba... |

Re: freestanding @ Ashley: Whoops...you're right I mis-used the term freestanding. I should have said the CR2 'only needs the 4 corners staked to stand.' |

Weight So I finally got my new scale and weighed my CR2. As background, MSR claims: Minimum Weight: 1270g Packaged Weight: 1490g On my scale, I weighed the entire package at 1499g. That breaks d... |

Re: Re: Touching The single door hasn't been a problem. Sure 2 doors would be nice, but it's not really necessary. When you are getting ready for bed, it's very easy to let the other person past. It'... |

Weights I got my new scale in the mail last night so I could finally evalutate my modifications. The accuracy of the scale is appearing very good, despite being only $3 on eBay. A bunch of my gear that I w... |

Re: re: GPS Recommendations Jamie: "I have a theory about distance traveled and GPS's. IIRC there are 2 commons ways measure distance. The first is true straight line distance. The second is horizontal distance. When... |

Idea A little sketchy, but you could ship this tent out as the one you are selling on eBay, and then keep the other one :) |

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... |
