Re: Foldable Blue Foam Sleeping Pad/Pack Support at 5oz.
Jhaura: You really don't need to slit or tape anything at all to have a blue foam pad fold up nicely. All you have to do is fold the pad into the configuration of your choice. You then weigh...

Re: New GoLite Virga
Will: The SD Isotope has a waterproofing of 800mm (barely better than nothing) and breathability of 3,000 g/sq meter/24 hrs. (breathable but not all that breathable). Do you know the comparab...

Re: A Note for TARPTENT RAINBOW Owners

Re: I can "taste" Aqua Mira?
I notice a taste each and every time. Fortunately, it's not a bad taste -- and a heck of a lot better than iodine. AM is not a miracle water treatment. But to me, it's a better alternative to...

Photon Freedom Micro (2X Brightness)
I bought mine off Ebay at a fixed price of $9.95 each, plus $3 shipping for the first one and $2 for each additional. REI's price is ridiculous in this case!

Re: A Note for TARPTENT RAINBOW Owners
Agree with Bob. For those who are handy with tools, etc. cutting a short length off the tent pole is fairly easy to do -- as is requesting two pieces of grommet/webbing and sewing them onto your t...

A Note for TARPTENT RAINBOW Owners
This has been touched upon before by others, but I just want to share my experience, and also thank Henry for the quick repair and retrofit! :) While setting up camp halfway up Mt. Whitney (Tr...

Big Sky Ultra C Aluminum Tent Stakes
I've been using titanium shepherd hook stakes for years now -- loving their ultralight weight but disappointed with their suboptimal ground penetration and holding power. These stakes can be bent...

Titanium Goat Adjustable CF Trekking Poles
I received my pair and went on a moderate 2-hour hike today (approx. 2,000 ft. elevation gain over 2.7 miles -- then returning back down). I find the specs to be accurate, and the poles a beauty to...

Comparison to Potable Aqua above is incorrect. For bacteria and viruses, Micropur is just as effective and easy to use (15 minutes treatment time). It is only for protozoa (e.g. cryptosporidium) t...
