Hi! I have an older version of Mountain Hardwear Space Station and I´ve somehow missplaces 3 GOLD (yellow) poles, each 914cm long. I hope that someone here on this site has a broken tent fly and is looking to sell their poles.

UL and Steri-Pen - Nalgene flexible bottle is very light, but the only option (apparently).

Summary: You can go light with a steri-pen using a Nalgene "wide-mouth Canteen" flexible bottle, very light, but you CANNOT use any other flexible bottle, their mouhts are not wide enough.

I'm going on a trip in the next week to climb mount Sill, (one of the 14ers in the palisade crest) and i'm not sure what kind of gear i need for it.
