I have a clone of a megamid. I think it is about 9 feet on a side. Made overseas. Used once.

I have a Chinese knock off of the megamid. Blue and silver, if I recall correctly. Sleeps up to 4 people. 1 central pole. I think it is 9 x 9 feet at the bottom. $50 plus shipping.

I have a kelty specrra cloud 6500 pack for sale. I have a few kelty spectra packs I am holding onto, but might sell if the price is right. If you are talking about my spectra McHale pack, you better have very, very deep pockets if you want to buy it. Owning a bunch of spectra/dyneema packs, I think I am qualified to describe their merits. They are a bit lighter than nylon. They are quite a bit more abrasion resistant than nylon. They are a whole lot more expensive than nylon. If you really need those qualities, but a spectra pack, otherwise nylon is fine.

$250 plus shipping. Includes side pockets, and the water bottle holders.

I have a McHale alpineer backpack. http://www.weasel.com/gear_pack_mchale_p.html 5300 ci plus 700 ci of side pockets.

There are a few others spectra packs. Kelty made a mistral in spectra as well as the whitney 1900. McHale makes custom spectra packs. Cilogear makes the 30, 45, 60, and 75 liter packs in spectra. I have detailed reviews with photos of 10 spectra packs at www.weasel.com/gear_pack.html The majority of them are for sale.

I have a mchale pack for sale. Photos and description at http://www.weasel.com/gear_pack_mchale_p.html Approximately 5200ci which isn't very big for a mchale, but big for a pack.

Not sure how to edit post, but the ice sac has been sold.

I got one last weekend. Very comfortable, very light. A bit hard to pack up to fit inside the box, but I was able to do it. Freakish technology...

I have a mchale alpineer pack, with a nominal size of 5200 ci for sale. It is in very good condition. See http://www.weasel.com/gear_pack_mchale_p.html for details and pictures. $200

McHale Alpineer backpack 6000ci, $200 Includes 2 side pockets, 2 water bottle holders, and pack cover. This is a pack from 1993 in hardly used condition. I am 5'10" and it fits me fine. Very robust construction, and will last many more decades. Here is my review, with lots of pictures: http://www.weasel.com/gear_pack_mchale_p.html Mountainsmith Phantom 3300ci, $100 I used this pack 2 or 3 times. It is in very good shape. There are some minor rips on 2 straps, which I have fixed. Here is some info, and some reviews: http://www.spgear.org/gear/1498/phantom.html Here is my review, with lots of pictures, including the fixed straps: http://www.weasel.com/gear_pack_ms_phantom.html It cost $170 when new. I am pretty sure mine is size large, which fits a 19-22 inch back. My back is about 19 inches, and it fits fine. I will ship the packs anywhere, but you pay shipping.

Curious, I bought my rock and ice parka from them in 1994. They make great gear, but it is clear their math ability sucks. Since mine is 16 years old, "Nine years of experimentation and continuous feedback" makes no sense.

I have an avocet altimeter watch. Highly accurate. Needs new batteries. Make me an offer.

I think he is referring to the CiloGear Dyneema fabric. I also have a CiloGear 45L in spectra. It is a slightly lighter fabric compared to the Kelty spectra. It isn't ripstop, but the Kelty spectra is actually spectra ripstop. This is not the nylon fabric with a spectra grid, but a spectra fabric with a heavier spectra grid. I like spectra for abrasion resistance, rather than its light weight. I tend to have my backpacks wear out due to abrasion, and spectra is roughly 10 times more abrasion resistant, for a given weight of fabric. I was cleaning one of the Kelty Spectra packs, and I was quite impressed by the amount of detailed work that went into it. The CiloGear pack is more modular, but the Kelty pack is very throughly engineered. The 'frame' consists of 2 'lightbeam' aluminum bars. Lightbeam isn't solid aluminum, but it is corrugated. I have pictures of it on my web site. Nobody else has anything similar. There is a plastic wedge that mates with the bars at the bottom, that fits into the pack. There is a fabric piece that the bars slide inside of. There is a large plastic T shaped piece that reinforces most of the length of the bars. There is a 'lightbeam' aluminum crossbar (on most of the 6500 packs). Threre is a nylon padded piece that covers the big plastic T. The top of the fabric has a metal crossbar built into it. The top of the frame is held at the top of the pack via two adjustable clips. The cilogear frame consists of HDPE sheet with an aluminum bar, and a folded sheet of high density foam. Nobody except Kelty sews their pack with kevlar thread. My 1993 mchale spectra pack has some stitching in spectra, but most is in nylon. It takes the resources of a big company to do the engineering found in the Kelty Spectra packs. I suspect they didn't sell very well, as a result of the high price.

I have far too many packs. I am selling the following: These kelty packs are made of spectra, and sewn with kevlar thread. They are likely to take more abuse than any other pack. The daisy chains are spectra. The top lids are spectra. The skirt extension is spectra. Kelty doesn't make them anymore. These packs are all in very good shape. Kelty large means a back size of 19-21 inches, and a medium means 17-19 inches. The waist strap adjusts up or down with velcro, a total of 2 inches. 3 Kelty spectra 6500 large with side pockets and shovel pocket - $350 each One has green trim and two have red trim. Pictures and description of the green one: http://www.weasel.com/gear_pack_6500.html 1 Kelty spectra 4500 regular with side pockets and shovel pocket - $350 2 Kelty spectra 4000 regular with side pockets and shovel pocket - $350 each 1 Kelty spectra whitney daypack - This is a bit odd. It is a reversable daypack with spectra on one side, and nylon on the other side. The nylon coating is starting to smell a bit - make me an offer Pictures and description at: http://www.weasel.com/gear_pack_whitney.html 1 Mountainsmith Phantom - $75 1 WildThings Icesac - $75 General index of all of my packs: http://www.weasel.com/gear_pack.html Prices do not include shipping. I can provide more pictures. I will ship anywhere.

I have some rachlie eigers in 11.5 for sale.

Still available.

I have a outdoor research advanced bivy, with 2 brand new poles, still in a sealed plastic bag. There is no zipper at the foot of the bivy. It is too small for my sleeping bag at the foot. A stuff sack is included and everything in very good condition. $120 I am located in southern california, and happy to ship anywhere for actual shipping costs. I can provide pictures of the gear.
