Storm, lightning, tree damage, 3" rain and peanut sized hail

Big Agnes Parkview 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season

June 29, 2009

This tent rocks. I have been waiting to give a review until I tested it in a storm. Got one. Last Friday while beside Baden Lake in Uhwarrie National Forest we had a pop up squall with high winds hail, and snapping trees. This Holly missed my tent by inches, I abandoned the tent until the storm passed. Left the front flap unzipped and had only about 1 cup of water in there when I came back.

Review Title

Backcountry.com Goat Klean Kanteen - 27 oz

Rating for this product: 3 September 30, 2009

Has a metallic taste... Easy to clean and refil. The top not being attached may get lost but guess you could tie it with a peice of string. Mouth is a little big to drink comfortably on the move but much better than the Quart Nalgene. I found a thing called the "top top" for my nalgene that is a screw cap that has another screw cap that is smaller for drinking and now prefer the nalgene.

Answer to: "Do the people that use this system trust the water as drinkable"

Platypus Cleanstream Gravity Filter System

September 2, 2009

Jeff is that a question to me or others?
(Do the people that use a pump filter system further treat their water with a "SteriPen" or tablets?)

I would tend to trust the water after filtering rather than not especially in some of the mountain streams I would use (I have also never been sick from water) however a video I watched does say that it does not filter virus so just curious how concerned I should be with further treatment.

Platypus Cleanstream Gravity Filter System

August 31, 2009

Do the people that use this system trust the water as drinkable when complete or should further treatment like Steripen or tablets be used? Also how many liter uses is the filter supposed to be viable?

Answer to: "Does this tent come with a fly? I'm sure it does, but I"

Big Agnes Parkview 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season

June 9, 2009

It has a fly. I bought the footprint but I would suggest if cutting one to make it the size of the tent floor and the vestibules. Keeps dirt out of the tent. I will be adding a small triangle to the front vestibule. Spent two nights in it so far. Very roomy and I am 6+' and 240lbs. Note I was using a larger than normal synmat pat and two would be a very tight fit but this is a very large one person tent which is what I wanted. I will say the design of the fly is going to have issues at some point... the only thing that keeps the front vestibule in place is a tiny strip of velcro and it came off at least 1/2 dozen times getting in and out of the tent. Very easy to set up and take down

I am looking for about a 3 liter resevoir that will fit and osprey

CamelBak Omega HydroTanium Hydration Reservoir

May 19, 2009

I am looking for about a 3 liter resevoir that will fit and osprey pack (aether). I like the platapus zip type opening but after reviewing several sites it seems that they do not hold up as well as CamelBak products. I am looking for recommendations for CamelBak that has a tube disconnect so the resevoir can be removed, filled and replaced without removing the drining tube. Do they make a product like that? Is it easy to clean and durable.

I am using a exped synpad sleeping pad that is very insulated.

Mountain Hardwear Flip 25/40 Sleeping Bag: 25-40 Degree

April 28, 2009

I am using a exped synpad sleeping pad that is very insulated. I am looking for a lightweight bag that can do three seasons. I assume this bag you just flip as one side has more insulation that the other. Has anyone experienced this bag in the field. I am guessing that I could experience temps in the 30-40 range at Philmont in summer. Does anyone have Philmont experience and would this bag be ok for July?

Looking for a shirt for Philmont in the summer. Don't know

Backcountry.com Merino Crew Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

April 22, 2009

Looking for a shirt for Philmont in the summer. Don't know what to expect temp wise but pretty hot in July and I am looking for a shirt that will assist me in sun protection without the need for sunscreen with the exception of my face. I also do not want to overheat. Would this work or is it too hot? Any other suggestions for something that can be worn for several days with out the smell issues?

Big Agnes Parkview 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 5 April 20, 2009

After a 25 year hiatus from living in a nylon home I am preparing for a trip to Philmont with my local BSA troop. I have to get geared up again. I was looking for a tent that would sleep me and gear and have room for a friend if one came along. I tried the Mountain Hardware LightPath but I could not sit up. At 6'1 and 240 I am not made for todays bivy sack mentality and the sheer thought of sleeping in a tent that small for extended stays in the rain even alone was claustrophobic. I found this tent online and was worried about buying a tent from a company online without the chance to "test her out". Backcountry showed me their "warranty" and I was blown away. I got the tent on a Wednesday and was missing parts. I called at 5 EST and told them I was due to sleep in the rain on Friday with the scouts I called and told them of the problem with missing parts. Thursday morning at 10:30 am EST a new tent was on my doorstep no questions asked and the tent had been checked before being sent. This tent for the size is huge. I am used to the old Timberline pole tents of BSA lore and this is bigger, and taller. Pretty light as well. I have not used it yet as the Friday trip was canceled due to Tornado watch and flash flooding. Hope to get it out there soon. Thanks Backcountry for superb service!!!
