Okay, so this company has been around for a little while, even had a write up in Backpacker a few years ago.

I'm curious if anyone has every tried any of their gear. I'm really tempted to order one of their CaliforniaRoll sleeping pads. Mmmmm, Classic MSG! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The sleeping bag was a bit bland and the trekking poles gave me indigestion.

You gotta try the sleeping bag with a little tabasco sauce,
and the trekking poles are only intended as a garnish.

Nobody eats trekking poles.

No, no - use bear spray instead of tobasco sauce. Got to make sure you use multi-use gear!

That's a great tip thanks.
Can you get that stuff in a spritz spray?

only catch is you have to carry all your gear in a bear canister <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> and never remove any of it within sight of a ranger <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Kinda like edible underwear, Just don't get um wet. Can you imagine sleeping under an edible tarp and getting caught in the rain for 3 days. I guess you would have to eat pieces of it as it melts on you. I wonder if the company can eat their stock if they go belly up? I would hate to be the CE oh.
