Q Mike C.....do you bring hand sanitizer? Or what do you do if you're wiping with a leaf and have an incident where not just the leaf contacts the excrement? Wash your hands with some of your pre... |

Article Personally, I consider wiping without TP more of a survival skill than a hiking skill. Yesterday I weighed a full roll of toilet paper (280 sheets, 2 ply) at 88g. That's under 3 ounces and you ... |

Updated Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate them. Mike C: Notice the quantity field beside the items. For some stuff it's zero so I'm not bringing it normally. So I don't plan to bring... |

Re: Fishing? Thanks for chiming in! Notice that the quantity for the frypan is 0. I have the frypan and use it occasionally (which is why it's on the list), but wouldn't bring it normally which is wh... |

WTB: Womens GoLite Jam I'm looking for a Womens GoLite Jam / Jam2 pack. I'd prefer the newer 2009 model with the hipbelt pockets. I'm looking for a size small or medium. Color doesn't matter. |

Working towards UL - My general gear list Here's my 3 season gear list as it currently exists. I'd like to hear some suggestions on how I can save weight for minimal expense. I've already spent too much money. While my g... |

Footprint BTW, according to the BPL review the CR2 footprint weighs 179g. This means the fly (501g), footprint (179g) and poles (220g) weighs exactly 900g. Impressively, MSR claims 900g for this setup whi... |

Re: How about this one? That scale looks good.....although if you are going that big you might want to get one slightly bigger that can weigh your entire pack as you're on the way out the door. Regarding your conce... |

Scales Check out the thread I just started in the gear deals section. My scale reads to 2000g (4.4lbs) and it was $3.99 Buy It Now on eBay. I was worried it wouldn't be accurate, but after comparing t... |

Cheap Scales on eBay I recently bought this scale on eBay and it seems like such a great deal that I figured I'd post about it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170359091910&ssPageName=ST... |

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... |
