Be extra careful if you're in a transaction with anyone asking you to send to an address in Yelm.

Sorry, freezerburn, I already arranged a trade with Arc for his stove.

This is only a few months old, used it on one short trip, works great but I want to try something else. Piezo is also the titanium version. $55 shipped in lower 48. All packaging included.

The unused Valdez is sold, the barely used Valdez and the Ozone are still here.

See above. Also, I'll take $10 off the total if you buy two or more.

I have two Valdez packs, they're a neutral grey/green color instead of blue/black (otherwise same fabric), and they have water bottle parka straps added to the hipbelt. One used on one overnight trip, one unused. Beautiful packs, just a bit too small for us volume-wise. NOW $75 AND $85. Also, a CCW Ozone in lighter 500d Cordura instead of the ballistics, not used much. NOW $40.

RH sold, LH now $235.

I can email photos of the bags, if you want.

The normal rating w/o overfill is 30 degrees, with overfill it's officially 25 degrees, maybe unofficially 20.

These are both sold.

This is a 2005 model, green fly, regular two-door version (not the GT extended), used a total of four nights, so barely. Inner tent sets up simultaneous w/fly; can also use fly as a stand-alone floorless tunnel. Weight is around 9.5lbs packed, true four-man and lots of room for three. Full specs at www.hilleberg.com. $550 shipped to lower 48, otherwise split shipping. Thanks!

This is the current version, Microlite XP microfiber shell, 850+ down, regular length (left zip) used exactly one night, with tags, stuff and storage sacks. $325 shipped in lower 48. Thanks, fos

I talked to WT, they dug around and found out that the original half-bags a few years ago were made with the 3 oz PL1, then they switched to the 6-oz thereafter. So, I just got one of the original lighter weight bags. If the retailer won't take a return I'll just put it up for sale. Thanks for the info and advice, fishstick. I'm not about to rake anybody over the coals over a mistake.

I just ordered a Wild Things Epic half-bag that was on sale through an on-line retailer. It was advertised as the 6-oz. weight PL1 insulation (same as the WT belay jacket) but when it got here it was noticeably thinner insulation, and much lighter than the advertised weight (about 1lb. 6oz versus a listed weight of 1lb. 13oz). I talked to the store on the phone, they said they noticed the same thing, seemed less than the belay, but more than the EP jacket, maybe like a 3-oz weight. I thought I read someone else here making the same comment a while ago, anyone know if WT changed the half-bag insulation weight in the last few years? Thanks, it's bugging me. And since they're telling me I can't return the sale item, I may be putting it up for sale here sometime soon if anyone is interested in a lighter weight half-bag.

Optimus Nova stove, barely used (couple of day outings last winter),includes stuff sack, pump, fuel bottle, instructions, cleaning tool, plus an extra fuel bottle. $85 shipped in lower 48, otherwise split shipping. Brunton Helios and Firelight butane lighters, also barely used, can be refilled with regular butane from gas station, or from stove canisters with an adapter that Brunton makes. Piezo ignition, torch-type with altitude adjustments. $30 and $20, respectively. thanks, fos1

Arcteryx Khamsin 52 - this is a size regular (medium shoulder straps), approx 3200 ci pack with small waistbelt that I found preferable (for my 33 inch waist) to a medium waistbelt. Color is black and grey, with the older style white grid pattern fabric. Excellent condition, very little wear, I bought it barely used without any visible wear, and have only tested it around the neighborhood. $115. Cold Cold World Ozone pack - this is a 2200-2300 ci, extremely durable, clean-lined summit type pack with a single wide lid buckle strap and a built-in bivy pad/frame. Had some custom features added by Cold Cold World (500d Cordura fabric instead of ballistic cloth for less weight, water bottle holder wings on waist belt, a touch more volume than the basic version). Again, tested around the neighborhood and a car trip, but that's it. Color black with yellow interior. Now $60. Mountain Hardwear "Monkey Man" Thermal Pro fleece jacket - near new condition, worn around town a few times but not on any trips, sage green, men's large. $60. Arcteryx fleece vest - "customized" an Arcteryx Delta Thermal Pro fleece jacket by taking off the sleeves, very warm, light and compressible, fits over the MH jacket above for a light, warm fleece layering system; trim-fitting men's XL. $25, $15 if you buy the jacket, too.

Sorry for taking so long, just saw your post. Saved a half pound (8 oz.)at least, not sure how much more, because I had water bottle holding flaps w/keeper straps added at the hip belt wings, and the flaps are made of the ballistics cloth. Total weight looks like 1,12 (my earlier estimate was a bit light, I think). fos1
