This thing is way more packable than the standard plastic drip cups, and its really easy to clean. It folds down like those new Sea to Summit plates and packed up it'll fit right inside a set of MSR pots.
I've been meaning to pick some kind of camp coffee contraption up for quite some time, and I see this thing working just as well for backpacking and backcountry climbing as it does for car camping. Bring some filters.

Nothing fancy here, just a functional, duffel-style cragging pack - very light and functional. There's a long internal zip pocket for your keys and wallet, and the pack is suprisingly comfortable for how minimal the suspension is. One cool thing that BD doesn't advertise for some reason is that this pack includes a removable rope tarp that attaches with velcro on the inside. Makes a nice all-in-one rope bag and gear pack for quick crag sessions and short approaches.

Shorty turned me on to this thing a year or two back, but I was stubborn and continued to clip in at the belay with a sewn runner or by girth hitching the rope. I finally conceded before a recent trip to Red Rock, and this thing is great. The fact that it's adjustable and still so secure (where a daisy is pretty easy to kill yourself with) is the big turn on for me. The only downside I see is that it can be a bit bulky when you have alot of gear racked on your harness.

I've had so much fun on these this season. Very light for how wide they are, which can cause some shakiness in the crud, but they handle decently on groomers and absolutely kill it in any soft snow or pow conditions. Was a little nervous about going for the 185 but the rocker makes them ski much shorter, I'm 5'11", 150lbs and they feel just right. Mounted them up with Fritschis and have skied them exclusively both in the resort and the backcountry.

These are warm, comfortable ski socks for a great price. But the first day i wore them, I was pulling them up before buckling my boots at the top of the lift, and one of them ripped about three inches from the top. A few days later I wore the second pair for the first time, and the exact same thing happened. The over-the-kneecap length is also a little puzzling.

I wanted a four-season shell that I could use for ski touring, mountaineering, and backpacking and I'm pretty sure I've found it. Been skiing a bunch of days in it already and looking forward to using it in the mountains this summer. Fabric is burly but the jacket is super lightweight. No unnecessary frills, just light, bomber protection.
Yea, it's spendy, but like any other piece of gear, you get what you pay for.

Got to demo these on a few stellar powder days up in Whitefish, MT. Lets just say I'll be buying them first thing next season - they absolutely tore it up. It took me an hour or two to really get a handle on them, but when I did, oh baby. Seems like the perfect balance between a touring ski and a powder ski.

For the size and durability, this shovel should weigh twice as much as it does. The telescoping shaft makes it super versatile, and the D-handle gives a super solid grip. Love it.

Really sweet rope for sport climbing and longer routes. Definitely no good for hangdogging or TR, as it seems to show wear pretty quickly, but good weight for a 70M, and the catches are nice and soft.

These boots are so classic and for good reason. My dad has had a pair for over ten years, and they are still going strong. I definitely sized down, I wear a 10 in street shoes and a 9.5 in boots. I got a 9 in these and still have a bit of wiggle. They are insanely warm, they slide on with ease, and can handle everything from an ass-cold dog walk to snowshoeing. Get em.
