I don't have a pic off hand but I'm 6'2" and not only can I sit up at the front I can slide inward a bit and still sit up fully with good posture, although it does get close then. If you are 6'3" or...

I don't have any experience with your question but at the risk of telling you something you already know MSR is releasing a trekking pole supported tent this month called the MSR Flylite.

Yea at the price I got mine for I simply could not resist :) He has already picked up a lot of popularity on BPL and said he sold more knives in 2 days than he had ever sold in a month so hopefully...

I didn't feel you were trashing the knife I just figured if you felt the need to tell us why your blade choice is better than this one for you that you thought I was trying to sell it as an end all...

I am not trying to sell anyone here on using one. Just passing along some info to people who want it. If you are happy with what you then that is great. It is an extremely specialized item for a...

Well I literally received it in the mail yesterday so haven't put it to any use. With that said it is a .5 oz titanium (softer than steel) knife of a decent size, so it isn't exactly stout. I won't...

Hey All,

I just received a knife from a small one man operation that I found on BPL. Mine is .5oz with a .27oz sheath for .77 total. Arrived perfectly at spec weight.

Here is the BPL thread:...

Thanks, I'll look forward to hearing about your experience! And yea the equinox packs do look good. I wanted one specific model but they don't offer multiple torso sizes and I'm too tall for their...

My apologies for the blatant thread jack here, but SirSnappy, have you messed with the volume reduction system on the Exodus yet? If so any comment on how it carries at the lesser than...

Have a link to this by chance?

Also this is a great thread thank you for posting fastfox. It has opened me up to some options I'm interested in exploring.

I'm not sure about most of the things he needs, but I'm fairly certain the Lightheart Solong 6 is one of the very few solo tents that will accommodate him both length and width wise.

Connie just so you aren't in for a rude awakening when you get it, if all things are equal cuben will always be more difficult to pitch tight than silnylon. It has to do with the lack of stretch in...

I didn't mean to start a debate between knots and line locs (those never end well). I was just mentioning that it is one of the factors worth considering for someone new to tarps. Lots of very...

Yes the point to line locs is not having to tie any knots, which effectively leads to much faster set up times. If you are tying 10-15 hitches every time you set up it will take a lot longer than...

Agreed. Lineloc3s and a pre tied loop on the other end and you have quick adjust-ability and no need to tie anything ever. I think most cottage guys will put them on for you no matter what but one...

I would check this link out for the guyline info you are looking for: http://andrewskurka.com/2012/tarp-guyline-system/

As someone who has used various tarps in various conditions, my personal...

If you do an internet search you'll find they are a well regarded pad company on a number of forums, this one included. Like all pads not everyone finds them comfortable, but very few have a problem...

No worries I didn't take it as argumentative I was just trying to answer the question fully. Wind shirts are a pretty polarizing subject so I can't expect everyone to see the value I do. Regarding...

For 3 season hiking I use it as an active outer layer to block wind and chill while still being breathable while hiking or taking the chill off during cool mornings in otherwise warm weather. I'm...

Nice congrats. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

I would say Houdini was most people's favorite. They made a fabric change in 2013 to a much less breathable fabric. 2012 and before houdinis are highly sought after for that reason. Most current...

The montbell is more breathable than the zpacks IIRC. So it depends on what temps you will be facing when using this most. If warmer temps montbell if cooler I'd go zpacks.

This discussion...

I agree with you I was very impressed by that.

Good, I hate following trends..

Thanks, although this actual protrail is my buddy's. I'll have one soon as I like it a lot.

My understanding in speaking to Henry about it is increased weather...

I got word zpacks will have some info on their new 40lb carrying pack on the site on Monday. I saw a couple pics and it looks really nice.
