Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest Deluxe Sleeping Mat

Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest Deluxe Sleeping Mat Review



I used one of these for a lot of alpine style backpacking and mountaineering. I cut it off 3/4 length to save weight and bulk. My legs below the knees do not need a pad except on snow and ice. In that case I slide the pad down and use my backpack for a pillow to make up the additional length. The pad was remarkably durable. It's more comfortable than the flat blue foam pads but not as much as the inflatable ones. My buddy's inflatable eventually popped - enough said. Another benefit of the ridges is they hold some water away from the bag. I used it for tents and a bivy sack. With this I could keep a 10 day pack under 40 pounds and still sleep on glaciers. For heavy-weight or car camping I like the self-inflatables.


Therm-a-Rest Ridge Rest Deluxe Sleeping Mat Feature


  • The thickest, warmest closed-cell pad
  • All-Season: Warm enough for cold-weather and snow camping.
  • Soft: Unique ridged design increases softness and comfort
  • Long-Lasting: Added thickness makes this our most durable pad
  • Lifetime warranty

The Triangular has one large pocket, the Rectangular, four smaller ones.

Primus Micron Ti Stove

Primus Micron Ti Stove Review



Pros:
1. ignitor, burner in a compact sturdy package
2. almost clumsy-proof ignitor
3. good value compare to all other compact stoves available on the market (maybe that's why it's sold out in local REIs)

No test in field yet. A few good reviews found in www.backpackgeartest.org (3 reviews on the Ti version which is essentially the same stove using lighter construction sans ignitor)

Flame pattern is a good compromise between blow-torch compact stoves and wide-spread Optimus Crux compact stove.

Questionable pot support stability in the old design (this one is new design) but base on Ti version reviews, this new pot support can be reasonably stable.

Sips fuel. This explains why the BTU is not as high as some other compact stoves. But this also fits light backpacking.

Been happy with my old Primus compact Alpine stove, but want to have the convenient ignitor. Once used Primus micron lantern, been convert to Primus sturdy ignitor design.

Primus Micron Ti Stove Overview


The Ti in the Primus Micron Ti 2.5 Stove means titanium, and 2.5 is how many ounces of that precious metal Primus needs to make a stove. Two and a half ounces is light, folks less than a bag of Skittles but don't be deceived. The Micron Ti may be small but it packs an 8500 BTU whallop, and it's fully adjustable from a low simmer to a scorching high setting that will boil a liter of water in about four minutes. The arms unfold to form a surprisingly stable four-inch cooking surface. Not huge, but enough for most lightweight camping pot and pan sets, and let's face it: if you're considering this stove you're probably not toting a cast iron skillet into the woods. *Fuel canister not included.

Black Diamond I-Tent Standard 2-Person 4-Season

Black Diamond I-Tent Standard 2-Person 4-Season Review




Black Diamond I-Tent Standard 2-Person 4-Season Feature



Black Diamond I-Tent Standard 2-Person 4-Season Overview


The Bibler I-Tent is super light, super strong, waterproof, breathable and easy to set up. The 2-person I-TENT was originally designed for the extreme mountain climber. This tent can be pitched on ledges that are no larger than your couch! Yet any outdoor adventurer will appreciate the design and features that make it the ideal tent at altitude. The I-TENT weighs an astonishing 4 pounds, 11 ounces, yet rolls up small enough to fit into the side pocket of many internal frame packs. Two poles crisscross inside the single tent wall, eliminating hard-to-thread sleeves, and bending naturally into the eaves of the roof. The result is maximum strength and more headroom per square foot of floor space than any other tent. The single piece bathtub floor has no seams. The door toggles to the side when open. The no-see-um net door is on the interior to prevent the massive ice build-up which occurs on exterior net doors of other brands in winter. Each I-TENT comes with two weatherproof zippered ven

Intex Classic Downy Queen Airbed with 2 Pillows and Double Quick Hand Pump

Intex Classic Downy Queen Airbed with 2 Pillows and Double Quick Hand Pump Review



The mattress is extraordinarily comfortable. Possibly better than your bed at home. The flocked top surface is good at preventing your slippery nylon sleeping bag from oozing off the edge as you sleep.

The valve is great for fast inflation and deflation.

Prices for this are all over the place, so shop around.

My family has 4 of these. The walls seem pretty thick, but I have acquired 1 or 2 small punctures over the years. Easily repaired with duct tape or the included patch material. (Make sure you bring it.)

The only down side is it's kind of heavy. Not a problem for car camping or in-home use.


Intex Classic Downy Queen Airbed with 2 Pillows and Double Quick Hand Pump Feature


  • 20.8 gauge flocked top
  • 14 gauge vinyl beams
  • 15 gauge vinyl bottom
  • Comes with hand pump and 2 pillows
  • Folds compactly for storage and travel

Intex Classic Downy Queen Airbed with 2 Pillows and Double Quick Hand Pump Overview


With plush flocking on the top, the Classic Downy airbed gives a more luxurious sleeping surface and helps keep bedding from slipping. Flocking cleans easily and is waterproof for camping use. Wave beam construction for a uniform sleeping surface. Quality tested 20.8 gauge waterproof flocked top with 14 gauge vinyl beams and 15 gauge vinyl bottom comes with 2-in-1 valve for fast inflating and deflating. Measures 8 3/4" thick for extra comfort and conventional mattress sizes allow for more sleeping area and a better fit for sheets. The Classic Queen Set comes with two (2) I-beam pillows and a Double Quick Hand Air Pump.
