Pole Wind is not going to break the pole, but if one end is wedge in a rock and you bend forward with force it will snap. In such a case an aluminum pole may only bend and only snap if you try to bend ... |

Poncho tarp I really liked the Gatewood as a shelter, but I gave up using a poncho. I switched to the Wild Oasis because of the similar design and it has mosquito netting. It is a spacious one person shelter. |

Joby ball head Peter, It has the label "jobey". It holds my Olympus e620 pretty well with a 40-150mm zoom. The camera will jiggle, so it has to be held tightly unless used with a remote/cable. I like... |

Gossamer Gear Ditto. When something is not in stock when you first look, just put your name on the -e-mail-when in stock list and they will let you know. They quickly and without questions replaced items that... |

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Pad Very comfortable and a pillow not needed. But, you are not supposed to blow this up by mouth because moisture will get into the fill. So, there is a blow-up bag arrangement that does work, but it is ... |

GoLite Ultralite poncho/tarp This Golite gear is made of a rugged silnylon. It has snaps to help shorten its length when worn as a poncho. It is useful to run a guide line over the top of it between the supporting poles to help... |

Ray-Way 3-person tarp and net tent Att: Mrs. EW! You do not need all that extra weight of overhead netting, plus you will have even more room under your tarp without it. Just add several inches of netting along the side edges, and ma... |

Superfeet Performance Green I do not think superfeet are supposed to prevent blisters, unless because they help correct the fit, they, by chance, correct an area that might otherwise chaffe your skin. Also, cut off about 1/8 in... |

Montrail Vitesse On my first pair, the coating wore off the toe top. The grey just pealed off leaving a white fabric. Also, the rubber on the front side separated from the side of the shoe. I repaired it with Shoe ... |

Merrell Mesa Ventilator II Cross-Training Shoes Ditto. I am about to head to the REI nearest me where they are on sale for $57 (Jan. 5) It will be my second pair having switched over from the Montrial Vitesse (see above). I had avoided this shoe ... |

Littlbug Wood Burning Stove Littlbug Junior First, to find the website note that Little Bug is spelled with no "e". The efficiency of this stove amazed me. I have tried homemade versions of woodburners with little success, so I was ... |

Gossamer Gear Lightrek Plus Poles Same as Phil Barton above. The tip broke off on the first day. I returned the pole, it was repaired at no cost and a spare basket and extra tip was also included. I had lost a basket as well as the... |
