"You have made the light at the end of the 'buy all the solo shelter gear' tunnel. I did the planned solo trans-Sierra in August. Embarked Sequoia National Park on the High Sierra Trail, slept on Mt. Whitney in the full moon and exited Whitney Portal eight days later. I love that tent!"

"I bought a Zirkel bag last year, and could not be more pleased with it. There is no more wrestling with the pillow that slides away in the night, nor any more sliding off the pad, nor having the bag coil up like a phone cord."

Backpacker Magazine awarded our Copper Spur UL3 an Editors' Choice Award in their April, 2008 issue. Here's an excerpt of what they had to say; "The lightest, roomiest tent we tested this year. Enough said. With legit space for three sleepers, this tent weights just a pound and change per hiker - you simply won't find anything else this light, roomy, and weatherproof."

Backpacker Magazine also awarded our Cyclone SL Chair Kit with an Editors' Choice Award in their April, 2008 issue. Here's an excerpt of what they had to say, "Never again do you have to choose between a heavy chair and a sore butt. The Cyclone weighs less than a New York City bagel and packs smaller than a three-piece fly rod. When coupled with an inflatable mattress, it becomes an instant backcountry recliner."
