Re: Buying Rab Latok Alpine Gaiters? Watch out for this

I see a "Made in China" label.
Could have something to do with it? Quality control issues now that they are no longer manufactured here perhaps...

Re: Backpacking - Food Options

For taste and lightweight, I highly recommend Fuizion Food
taste is fantastically good... :thumbup:

The self-heating food is ok-ish, very easy to use and works well, but taste isnt all that.

Re: For Sale: Canon Lens

cheers guys.. :thumbup: Alastair; there are a few lenses that would be an upgrade to this one. An L prime lens would be superior eg the 24mm 1.4L or the 24mm 3.5L T/S. The old Olympus Zuiko 21mm 3.5 is also a contender (with an adaptor) and the Zeiss 21mm is probably the best of the lot. I find that...

Re: Overnight/Weekend Pack Weight

Would it be fair to say that on average, a wildcamper (1-2 nights) would carry about 15kg? I'm not experienced at it, but have the kit (not all light but tent/mat is) and I think my total bag weighed in at 14kg. It sounds like Ross is around this mark (certainly be over 10kg). I think thats probabl...

Re: Overnight/Weekend Pack Weight

I've become a little bit obsessive about lightening up over the last year. Used to laugh when I heard about people weighing all their gear and shaving off grams here and there by cutting labels of clothes, cutting toothbrushes in half (I have done this one now :? ) and various other things. Started ...

Re: 4 season mountain tent

I would suggest Vango's Spirit 200+ I've had mine for a few years now. Its a 2 man tent, pretty bombproof - have camped out on scottish mountains in this in all weathers, including one night with incredibly windy weather- has acres of space including a very large porch, simple to pitch and at 2.8kg ...
