Hi PetGreen, I just measured the tent poles of the Coleman Celsius that I used on that trip: 2 poles of ca. 3617mm (in 9 sections). Enjoy the camping trips with your new tent!

Looks nice. Any idea how heavy it is?

Which type rechargeable battery were you using? My Gamma works great with Sanyo Eneloops, which are low self discharge NiMH rechargeable batteries. (+1) On their site they write "Gamma has not been designed to work with lithium batteries (rechargeable)." but not every rechargeable is of the...

Classy Evans you have there, Zarkwon!

Looks nice! Is the front brake supposed to be on the back of the fork?

Depends on what you're doing. When running, any pack with hip belt is more stable. For walking, lightweight packs don't need the hip belt. The difference for more loaded hiking is very noticeable though. Even with only 10kg, I notice the difference, especially during a long day. Nice thing about...

Most Ray-Ban lenses are plastic, which will be scratched if a tiny bit of sand finds its way into the box, I discovered in Congo... My next pair will be much cheaper, as they are just as UV resistant as the 10x more expensive ones...

Hi, A friend of mine has a Taurus II which he brought along on our last trip to the Alps. It looked perfectly fine and he's very happy with it. However, I had my Hilleberg Nallo 3 with me and when comparing the two, the difference in space is very noticeable. The walls hang inward quite a bit...

I'm sure the Terra Nova is a great tent too. Always difficult choosing and always making a compromise when choosing... Life can be hard ;)

That Terra Nova Super Quasar is quite heavy and it's only semi free standing, right? You have to peg out the vestibules? As a bombproof free standing tent, I'd prefer the Hilleberg Staika. From the looks of it, the Hilleberg also has better ventilation and it's 700g lighter.

I choose the Nallo 3 myself a couple of years ago, very happy with it. Enough space for 3 men and backpacks in the porch and only a bit heavier than the 2 person version. Reason for choosing was mainly the weight. An advantage of the non GT version is the smaller area you need for pitching...

Looks nice! Nay sayers, repeat after me: minimalism, natural colours and natural materials are good. ;)

That Sprayway is quite heavy for it's price, I think. (510g) My Columbia Gore-Tex XCR rain jacket cost about the same and weighs about the same, but has more pockets and other lame features. I'm also interested in a not very expensive rain jacket, but it'll have to be lighter. Haglöfs has some...

I also like my Bridgedale trekking socks (midweight). They contain quite a bit of wool and hardly smell after several days of use when hiking (in heavy leather gtx boots). Very happy with them.
