GIGO: words unreadable aloud

BackpackingLight Links

Now that I have gotten gmane.org to subscribe the backpackingLight list, I can actually find the time to look at it once in a while.

Here, I've collected links to some of the newer developments since I've been out of touch with the lightweight backpacking community.

Last year, I bought a G4 backpack from Glen van Peski http://www.gvpgear.com/ I love it. It weighs about 12 ounces.
http://www.golite.com builds gear based in part on designs pioneered by Ray Jardine
I made three pepsi-can stoves last year, and still use the one I have left (I gave away the other two). If I don't make myself some more, I'm thinking of getting a Brasslite stove. http://www.brasslite.com/ $55.
Another new company: ULA -- Ultralight Adventure Equipment, Logan, Utah http://www.ula-equipment.com/
An amazing work of comparison ... Biker Dave's guide to Ultralight tents, tarps, tarptents, (no tenttarps?), hammocks, bivy sacks, sleeping bags, and backpacks. http://bikerdave.crosswinds.net/shelterII.html An amazing work.
