Kelty Trail Dome Tent 6-Person 3-Season
September 14, 2009
i don't own this tent personally, but yes, it will come with stakes. bare minimum, it should include the exact amount needed to stake down the tent body and rainfly. i've never purchased a kelty tent, but they may include 1-2 more for extras or for guying out the fly as well.

i believe these are standard size carabiners. Wild country's smaller biner draws are the xenon lites.

pretty sure backcountry only does retail man, no wholesale. i would imagine you would have to buy way more than three units from any distributor to get a pricebreak anyway.

Black Diamond Primrose AL Harness Package - Women's
August 1, 2009
this package really is a great deal! with this and a pair of shoes you will be set for gym climbing or heading outside with some friends. it's hard to say when the size you desire will be in stock though, your best bet is to ask backcountry directly via their live chat, the button is in the upper right corner.

Kelty Grand Mesa 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season
July 31, 2009
it's always a good idea to get a footprint. you don't NEED it, but think of it as a cheap insurance plan for the life of your tent. it really increases the durability of the tent floor and only adds a little weight to the setup.

Marmot Aura 2-Person 3-Season Tent

your best bet is to ask backcountry directly via their "chat now" button in the upper right hand corner. If it's not coming back in stock they can definitely point you in the direction of a comparable 2-person tent.

Black Diamond Camalot C4's
July 21, 2009
i'm in the process of building my trad rack and am about to order a set of BD camalots (#0.5-3). after that my young rack will consist of the cam set, a set of BD nuts, set of BD hexes, and an additional #1 and 2x #2 camalots. my question is, if i were to buy one additional cam to supplement my set, which size should i get? i was thinking either #0.3 or #5, but am not sure which will really be more useful. if it helps, a majority of my climbing is done on sandstone in the Red River Gorge, KY.

Oakley Crosshair Sunglasses - Men's
April 7, 2009
my first pair of crosshairs lasted me four years (bought them in 2005) before they got knocked off my head and stepped on. Despite the thin frame they are incredibly durable.
