Is Wild Country still making the Helium carabiner? I've been looking around and nobody seems to have them in stock. In this just a supply issue or have they been discontinued?

you know other manufacters make super lightweight biners... such as the trango superfly, BD Oz, Camp Nano, DMM Phantom, might want to check into those unless you have your mind set on heliums... i personally didn't like them

I'm pretty sure http://gearexpress.com has them. Heliums are the shit, but they are way too expensive.

My local gear shop still carries the heliums. REI used to have helium draws at some of their big stores, but they decided to not sell 'em anymore, and put them on clearance. I ended up doing a direct-store order of something like 13 helium draws at 11 bucks a pop. You might want to visit a local REI and have them search the computer for heliums, there might be a few laying in the back of a store somewhere.
