This tent is solid & can be easily put up by 1 person. The poles are a little brittle in temps below freezing (hey it was Nov.!) Plenty of room for 2 & gear inside. 2 vesti…

All in all, Sterling's made a great rope here. Plenty light for working sport routes and the sheath stiffness makes clipping a dream. I do think I'll be retiring this ro…

This tent is affordable and convenient. It is light-weight for a 2-person tent weighing in at under 5 lb. It keeps me, my husband and my pitt bull terrier dry and comfortabl…

This bottle will last. I left one in the freezer full of water, and it survived. It is a little bigger, but still works fine. It's a great way to stay hydrated, so buy a few.…

The lightweight, folding nature of these poles compromises their durability to an extent that they didn't work for me. I am not a huge individual (160#), and I typically carr…
