Camping and Backpacking GEAR thread

I can fit a can of fuel, stove (without box), and a scrubber inside the pot. Not sure when I'll be going up to higher elevations, but when I do, I'll get boil times.

 

Does your Hyperlite have the bottom entry?

 

No bottom entry. Side entry with the zip bug net.

 

Zpacks having a sale on plex tents and sleeping bags. They updated their site a bit as well.

Of course, after I just bought one.

 

Weight of stove, pot, and lid? Only if you have a digital scale.

 

Because

 

New gear day!

 

Way cool! Our new UQs arrived yesterday!

 

Sorry. Don't have a scale.

 

311g, but i like 3 arm stoves much more, they are more stable. Amazon has a few to choose from. i can give you a link if you want. I've moved on from this pot for the most part, i now use a MSR Windburner - but this was always a good water-boiler. If you have the $$ Windburner is well worth it. 437 grams on that system for a stove that will basically never blow out, is not nearly as susceptible to energy loss to wind, and nests perfectly with a 4oz canister, pot, stove, lid and canister stand. weighed without the little cup because i don't use it.

 

John Glaser loves Geeeaaaarrrr, anyone else watch it? Its on tonight show is funny as shit!

 

I've watched a episode or two. It's decent.

 

Best sleeping bag ever! I have one of these and it is amazing.

 

What brand/model is that? Thanks.

 

Sierra Designs Backcountry Bed. This model is the 800 fill 30 degree in long size and weighs 35oz.

They also make the following models:

600 fill 15 degree
600 fill 30 degree
800 fill 15 degree
850+ "Elite" UL version 30 degree
A synthetic 40 degree
Women's specific versions of the 30 degree.

 

Sierra Trading Post has good prices on the 30 degree Backcountry Beds right now.

Pro tip: if you want one, sign up for their email list and get a 20% off coupon. It will work on them. I would have bought the elite model but they didn't have any in the long size.

 

backcountryedge.com is a great site for camping equipment too. i've found their prices to be comparable to competitors, and they offer a 365 any-condition return policy (that they stand by, i've used it before). please don't abuse it and make it go away like REI's did....but it's great to have if you need it.

I've ordered my Eno sub7 system, underquilt, and stove from them so far. New backpack will be next.

 

No takers with HH hammocks. Anyone? $125 shipped CONUS.

 

This. I've slept very comfortably down to about 35deg in it with an inflatable pad. Fantastic sleeping bag!
