If you want a over the shoulder sling with your gear on one side the Metoluis sling is a must. It is well padded and I had the Multi-loop which is great to keep the gear seperated. I like the D attachment to help balance the gear and to add more space. Nothing bad to say about it, but I have since moved up to the Metoluis Big Wall sling for my trad climbing, it is the best I have tried.

I have had no problems with the lexan bottles. They are durable and work as they should. I like platupus soft bags better when hiking because they form to the shape of the space they are put in. The Lexan needs to be placed so it's not next to your back while in the pack. I have bought cheap water bottles at discount stores and you know what? They work great too but they are only $1.50 or $2.00.

I love the thick ones for car camping. the ultalight are good for backpacking. I can't tell much difference in the regular and the ultralight when I am sleeping. You are just saving weight. I think the ridgecrest is a cheap option but a little more bulky to carry. They do beat the heell out for the cheaper foam mats.

I have used this with my MRS whisperlight stove for several years. I sometime have a hard time get the stove level and keeping it stable. The Trillium base helps with this problem. It not to heavy and most of the time I am glade I brought it along.

Super biner for its size. If you need a larger biner I would chose this one. I use it on trad anchors, my daisy chain, and tie in points. The only problem I have had was with it's shape. I like round shaped shafts for belaying with a reverso, the Willaims has an oval shap which is not a smooth.
