It really varies with who answers the question as to what response you'll get. There are those that argue if it isn't killing your feet, then the shoe is to big. While others will say it should be comfortable and tight, but not painful.
I have a similar model of shoe from madrock and they are extremely painful. However, try wearing them as long as you can stand while on the computer/watching a movie/reading (don't walk around in them, just sit). Over time they will stretch some and your feet will get accustomed to the feeling...

It does have attachment points for a waist belt (which could be used to secure it to the suitcase. Also, the "grab strap handle" is located on the back, not sure if it is wide enough to slip down over the handle of your suitcase; nevertheless, it could be used as an attachment point.

Look over under the tech specs. It will vary with size, but a 7 weighs 3 lb 5 oz.

Yes, the sack is 7x11

The measurements are 20x10x3... which really isn't all that large. You would probably need to run to your locker DURING class.
Try looking for packs more in the 1000 - 1800 cu range.

Litreage: 27 litres
Dimensions: Height 45cm x Width 30cm x Depth x 25cm

Check out the MSR Flex 3 Cooking System:

This will fix the plate and cup problem. Frying pan shouldn't be too hard to find.

Well, your dimensions are 29.75x14.5x10.5
Here is a carry-on chart for different airlines: http://www.luggagesource.com/IBS/SimpleCat/InfoPage/asp/Comp_ID/19231.html
Doesn't look like it will fit. However, I've used my Black Diamond Sphynx 42L on multiple airlines with no problems.

It will handle being checked with no problems although you might want to take some precautions. Trash bag and duct tape does work... although it might embarrass you while standing in line. Some airlines provide large clear plastic bags or wrap for such items. A lot of people buy a cheap duffel bag to place their pack in. Finally if you want none of that just tighten everything down/tuck everything in/secure waist belt around the pack and it should be fine!

No, they aren't adjustable. However, there are a variety of sizes if you look at the sizing chart, you can pick the one that fits best. I've used these with smaller children on ropes courses and they work great (a little big is okay).

Shouldn't have a problem with it on most every airline (I know AirKorea is a little more strict). It would probably fit under most seats, but if not the overhead would have room to spare.

Here is a link for the user manual. Everything you need to know can be found within...

Yes, it is a polyester rip stop material sewn into the mesh siding.

Your sleeping pad will definitely work. However, because that pad does inflate quite a bit, it might constrict your space a little (length and width will be fine though). A thinner sleeping pad would fit more comfortably.

One of the reasons canister stoves don't work so well in high altitudes is because of the weather. In cooler weather the stove works slower because there is less vapor pressure (warming the canister in a shirt or sleeping bag before use can help). Wind can also become a factor above the timber line. At higher altitudes foods take longer to cook so keep that in mind when planning on how much fuel to take. So as long as the fuel doesn't get to cold or the winds are too high to keep it lit, the stove will work (water will actually boil faster).

It is made in China. Although Suunto is headquartered in Finland and still produce a small number of products from there, all their cores and most items are manufactured in China.

Yes, it can connect with any screw on Lindal valve system (MSR, Snow Peak, even Coleman).

I would also recommend looking at The North face Solaris and Kelty Redwing. Similar bags but not quite so much $$.

Check out the GoLite Shangri-La 1 Shelter. http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/GoLite-Shangri-La-1-Shelter/GOL0286M.html?RSC_ID=WR_GOL0286
This is meant to be used in conjunction with the Nest.

The shipping weight is 2.1 pounds...

Here is the link for the technical notice for this item.
http://www.petzl.com/files/all/technical-notice/Sport/C.%20HARNAIS%20ESC%20C00500-D.pdf
I would suggest poking around on petzl's website for any additional information.

Well, under the tech specs it says you can get 136 min out of 20 oz. If this is correct, than 22 oz would get you 149.6 min.

It uses a draw string located on the side (fairly low).

I have the 42L, but am thinking they are the same. I believe this cut is for the hydration tube. Because the hydration sleeve is on the inside of the bag, this cut had to be made to get the tube to the outside (otherwise it would have to go through that Velcro access to the back panel or around it, considerably shortening the tube). Hope this makes sense, I've included a picture. Yes, the cut does look rather shoddy, but if you look closely, some finisher/sealant type product has been applied around the cut.

Absolutely, it is also CE (European Community) certified.

Whether fitted or adjustable, the leg loops should be snug but not tight. You should just be able to slip a hand between the leg loop and the upper thigh. This leeway will allow for layering in cold weather. During regular use, it should not have any pressure points or hot spots around the waist or legs. It really is a matter of preference, go with what is comfortable. The adjustable ones are merely that, adjustable (also better for multi-pitched/aid climbs or situations where you would need to take the harness off while standing up...?)

Yes the price is U.S. $
And the hard pvc plate is only that strip on the palm. The velcro strap loops around the back to secure everything.

Yep, sure is.

Yes, it does come with a compression sack but no additional storage sack.

The Thule website has a pretty detailed spare parts section that is bound to have what you are looking for.
Also, you should look into some form of thread locking compound such as loctite. These are specifically designed to stop nuts/knobs from loosening and coming off due to vibrations. I have had great success with these on bikes and longboards... same concept.

The measurements are 18" x 12" x 6"
You should be able to fit most binders in it... but only you know how big your binder is.

I hope you don't mean free soloing...
Why don't you try starting here:
http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/BLD0290/Black-Diamond-Momentum-AL-Harness-Package.html
Next, find some experienced people who are willing to show you proper knots, belay techniques, and general climbing safety/etiquette procedures.
If you really are serious about the whole solo bit you need to look into self-locking devices.

To be honest, there isn't much of a difference. This particular kayak has a low deck profile meaning it will sit lower and can handle less weight (160 lbs max). Overall it weighs slightly less and the cockpit is a tad smaller than the "male version".

Wow, that product description was... terrible. This looks like a pretty cool watch. From what I can gather it does have a timer mode (might countdown instead of up though). The tech specs also say this is not waterproof, but it most definitely is. Suggest uses are for surfing, snorkeling, and spearfishing...

A twist of the bezel on your MYO turns it on/off and adjusts the focus of the beam from spot to flood(zooming). The bezel is also used to select either the LED or the xenon halogen beam. From the «off» position, turning the bezel lights the LED first for energy-efficient proximity lighting, then the xenon halogen bulb for long-range powerful lighting. The zoom function allows the xenon halogen beam to be adjusted from spot to flood. The MYO lamps allow the the light to be optimized (distance, duration) according to your needs.

The legs adjust from 60"-78" so measure your roof rack to the ground for the height. Also, that would be for the Twin butte car tarp; this is merely the bug screen that attaches to that tarp (sold separately).

That took some looking!

Pretty sure that is the manual. If not, search around on origoworld.com and you should be able to find it.
Have fun in Yosemite!

Yes! The model below is a 35:
http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/313,82812_Lowe-Alpine-Rush-Daypack-35.html
Lowe alpine also has a very similar model called the Unisex Mountain Marathon 32.

This particular item is for the bug screen that attaches to the car tarp. It will not work as a free standing tent, nor will the car tarp as it only has two poles (the other side attaches to your luggage rack). It would work as a sunshade/lean-to if so desired.

This would be an excellent kayak for a beginner. It handles waves extremely well (also functions well on flat water). The molded-in keel gives support while allowing tremendous handling. Not too long, heavy, or pricey makes it a great purchase!

I'm fairly certain that for this particular make of rope there is no center mark. The various "versions" offered for the Flash vary strictly in length and color (with superdry option). Otherwise they are all the same.

Yes, the lid will definitely fit with a broken string. Taking the mantle off a retired rope and placing it over the string adds great aesthetics and protection! If it ever breaks or you loose the cap, you can get a new one on the nalgene website.

You can find them for relatively cheap. One of the only places I've seen them is at REI...

The tactical model does come with a red lens, but it also has the standard white, blue, and green. All of these are interchangeable and operate with the four output modes.
