Like its owner! You been tested for Mercury yet?

SOLD This is a 2 person, 3 to 4 season convertible tent. In brand new and unused condition, I have fully sealed all seams. Very pleasant yellow & tan colors. I scored a Bibler Fitzroy cheap and need to sell this one. Have also replaced factory pin stakes with T-stakes. This is an ultralight version of the Omega, specs here: http://alpenglowgear.com/gear/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=234 Will ship for free to the lower 48. $180.

What exactly do you plan on using it for? If you need bug/full on rain protection, then the spendy bags are great. If not consider a simpler bivy and save the $$. My 2 cents is that a tarp and a bivy will be better for three seasons.

I will ship this to the lower 48 for free, paypal accepted. MSR Mini Titan Cookset (in good condition) & Snow Peak Single Wall 450 mug (excellent condition). $85.

MH Trance!

Hey! This belongs in the gear critic! BTW I have found the temp ratings on Ultralaminas to be a bit off.

I'm not a big fan of less than full zip bags and many of the ultralights hit cold ratings only because they are very tight.

VBL's suck in my experience. And I don't use a bivy with the Spectre.

I have the spectre--great bag--as well as a Marmot Couloir--most excellent. If you could use a bivy for the other three seasons try to find the cheapest 800 fill bag w/o a spendy shell fabric. You'd be surprised what deals are out there. BTW make sure it has plenty of room, i.e. many winter bags only hit the zero rating because they are very tight (or have a gore or similar shell), perhaps good for those who want to save 5 or 6 ounces but not so good if you want to keep stuff in there or even--GASP--use a pee bottle. Make sure you compare dimensions AND fill weights. Go to Mountain Gear--they provide fill weights for all the bags they sell unlike most other online stores.

I'd also recommend NOT getting a dryloft, etc. shell as you can get the bag and a bivy for about the same price and regular fabrics these days are pretty darn good for water resistance and will dry much faster. Seems like all the clunk of carrying a down bag and a synthetic overbag defeats the purpose of a down bag: warmth, light weight and superior compressibility.

Good move on the down, I've found they are way warmer per rating. I wouldn't get too hung up on the tech stuff until you master the art of how to sleep warm. IMHO it's best to avoid bringing moisture into the bag in the first place. So I usually get a good amount of body heat going (stamping out a tent platform and setting camp), jump in the tent, fire up the stove, strip off my shell and the layer closest to the shell (these have most of the moisture I build up during the day), put on a dry layer over the base, and spend a few hours melting snow, brewing, eating etc. BEFORE I ever get in the bag. I would get a good eVent bivy, it'll protect you from condensation, but it also provides a backup if you get caught away from camp, etc. etc. Don't count on it breathing much, if the ambient temp is below freezing, which is why it's best to change out of whatever you wore during the day and give your base time to dry. What you do is far more important than what you buy!

Nice guys, just make sure to bring a little barb wire with you to Denali. Too bad about Matthew (and Mr. Ledger). Maybe you should form an Evangelical wing of the Mounties--loincloths and gaiters???? (And then you don't bother the rest of us with your nonsense.)

Hey, wrong again, my daddy left my mommy. And my mommy sent me to Wyoming to be raised by bears and horses. So you could say it was all because I was so abandoned by my family that I have such a good attitude towards certain folks. Besides, I suspect this is one of those trips where the "members" might be really what somebody might be looking forward to.

No I was referring more to your command of the English language and also most likely your medication regime you buttpipe.

This whole post is the best argument I've seen for allowing handguns back into National Parks: climbers for Christ meet Christ, camp remains undisturbed, rangers get to talk codes=everyone is happy!

Count me out, seems like comms with Search and Rescue will be FUBAR. BTW do you think this guy is in with the Exit 38 bandits?

"what kind of trouble did the contacts give you?" Wyoming dust and wind and the trouble associated with long trips in the mountains, smoky bars and chronic bouldering.
