Kelty Gunnison 4 Footprint

Fits just fine... while it is a little putzy attaching it to the tent, you'll spend less time on this than with your own tarp type cloth. Hat's off to BC on their great service when I ordered this!

Spacious tent, nice color.

Kelty Gunnison 4.1 Tent 4-Person 3-Season

Kelty Gunnison 4.1 Tent 4-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 5 October 2, 2009

A terrific three season four person tent. The sandstone and muted burgundy colors blend in very nicely with the environment. The only short-coming I have found is the fact the windows and door opening do not have zip closures. Warmth might become an issue if you stretched your seasonal usage to 45 degrees or colder. I have owned a half dozen car camping and wilderness tents over the years and setting up the Kelty Gunnison 4.1 is VERY easy. I especially like the door and window sizes and locations.

Almost Perfect

Nalgene Wide Mouth Tritan Bottle - 32oz

Nalgene Wide Mouth Tritan Bottle - 32oz

Rating for this product: 4 June 15, 2009

I carried two of these on a 150+ mile backpacking hike on the Ice Age Trail. Tough and light, the Nalgene container does the job when it comes to filling, drinking and using a water sterilization tool like the Steripen. Only knock -- Backcountry's printed logo and more importantly, measuring scale, abraded away in less than two weeks.

Dependable Jacket

The North Face Venture Jacket - Men's

The North Face Venture Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 June 15, 2009

Not as light weight as I was looking for, but made up for that shortcoming in other ways. The shoulder areas are durable as the material withstood the constant abrading of the shoulder straps of my 40 lb backpack. When the vent zippers are opened and the front zippered lowered a bit, I found myself to be quite comfortable with little if any 'clammy' heat build up.

Lived In These For Two Weeks!

Columbia Omni-Dry Silver Ridge II Convertible Pant - Men's

Columbia Omni-Dry Silver Ridge II Convertible Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 15, 2009

I wore these for two straight weeks while backpacking Wisconsin's Ice Age Trail during the summer. They fit well, and, in the Shade color, did not show the dirt. These pants breathed very well and dried quickly. A durable product that I found to be very dependable.

Very Well Engineered!

Gregory Baltoro 70 Backpack - 4149-4638cu in

Gregory Baltoro 70 Backpack - 4149-4638cu in

Rating for this product: 5 June 15, 2009

What an amazing piece of trail equipment! The body fit was fantastic, and the adjustable features very beneficial. Load capacity is perfect for long distance hiking. The very well designed sleeping bag compartment is convenient and easy to load/unload. I wound up folding a Therm-a-rest pad and storing it with the sleeping bag. The water bottle holder while easy to access and very secure never got in the way while hiking through rough terrain. The Baltoro 70 has few, if any, unnecessary features. Nice job Gregory!

Select the Correct Footwear

Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra M+ Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra M+ Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 June 15, 2009

The Solomon Trail Runners were comfortable, lightweight, and very breathable. Water drains (and enters) easily. I carried 35 to 40 pounds in a Gregory Baltoro 70 pack and the Solomon's were not adequate as my feet broke down after two weeks. Make sure you have the correct footwear for the load you plan on carrying!

Easy and Effective

Outdoor Research Pack Hoody

Outdoor Research Pack Hoody

Rating for this product: 5 June 15, 2009

Light weight, easy to fit on my backpack and very effective. The drawstring system is very convenient helping assure the cover remained tightly in place around the pack. I was impressed with the 'breathability' without compromising gear protection from the rain.

Long Distance Hiking

Under Armour Boxer Jock - Men's

Under Armour Boxer Jock - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 15, 2009

Just came off a 150+ mile backpacking trip on the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. No chafing issues, fit well, quick drying and an unexpected feature, tight fit around my thighs helped keep the wood ticks out of critical areas!
