View Full Version : New Lightweight Backpacking Site
Today is the official opening of a new and interesting lightweight backpacing site. (we did need another one right?)
The name of the site is bplite.com (Zelph's StoveWorks (http://www.bplite.com/index.php)is contained within the site)
The entire Whiteblaze family is invited to drop on in and take a look see what's going on there.
Be sure to register and then stop on by the "Mystery Tool" forum to see if you can guess what the tools are. If you are the first to guess the correct answer you will win a free stove. (everybody can use another lightweight stove, right?)
This one will have a tendency to be a do-it-yourself oriented site. It might wander at times into different modes.(We'll see)
In alphabetical order are listed the creators of the site:
Mags (admin)
Midway Sam (site Admin)
Skidsteer (admin)
Zelph (admin)
We'll be on hand to make your visit a pleasant and enjoyable one.
See you there!!!!! (by the way!!! there are no frolicking bananas there, bummer!!!)
Looks like it'll be good, but currently I'm unable to post?

zelph,
i too tried to post an answer to one of your mystery tools, but ended up having to PM you! did you get the PM. I just(11:10edt) tried back and see that I'm still unable to post. cool site with good info tho

Yeah, I don't seem to be able to post on any thread. Cant' wait to though... looks like a cool site.
Nice looking site. As others have said there doesn't seem to be a way to post currently. I don't see 'reply' or 'new thread' buttons.
When I first registered I had access to "The Committee" forum, but it looks like that has been corrected.
One question, I don't see an introduce yourself or general discussion type forum or thread, is that by choice (focus on the topics in stead of general discussion)?
Best of luck!

Are you guys going to post the answers to the Mystery Tools?!?
Here is a little more info i hope will help you. It seems I have a reply button in "Stove designs by Skids" and "Youtube's finest stovies" but not "Zelph's Stoveworks" or "Mystery Tool".

Forum permissions have been worked out. Post away.
Yep, reply buttons all around. Looks like things are working now.
that site is only for posters by the name of zelph...didn't realize there was so many :p
Ewker!!!
Santa has Elphs:-?
Zelph has Elphs to help, there every where.
Zelph"s StoveWorks is still under construction!!! Lots of photos still not in place yet. Trying to recover the disc that was used to salvage info on a expired computer.(It happens) You can ask questions in all the threads that are there. Most all of the stoves that I have created are there. New ones are in the making and more are being thought of. The ones on the back burner will soon be coming forward for updates as time permits.
I thank all of you that have stopped by so far. You're family!!!!
We will post the answers to the Mystery Tools after a 1 week period, give all a chance to think it over mabe change their answers:confused: There will be mystery tools every week with a stove give away for each tool. If you have a mystery tool that you would like to post in the forum, please do. It will make the forum a super interesting one. Got one that will stump the experts? Post It(you supply the prize:) .
Midway Sam is a super site admin. man. Thanks Sam!!!!
I said it before somewhere else on WB.... oh great, another site I'll have to check in on ump-teen times a day...
It looks great! And Ive already added it to my tabs! Keep up the great work!

Let me know how it works out. I've been thinking of that idea for you since I was in Iraq.
How about a "tool of the month" instead of all at once...?

That would be a good contest for the politics forum on WB.
The prize? Moderate the politics forum for a month, naturally.
Had to read that twice... Now I see... you mean that kind of tool!

There'd be lots of candiates, I'm sure. ;)
I could offer up some names!
Fun site! I entertained my husband by showing him some of the stove YouTube videos last night. I like the one with the little guy who dances in the flames.
I could offer up some names!
Heh..naah. I think we all have an idea of the names at this point. ;)
