Shipping charges are not right
I was trying to buy two small pillow covers. It wants to charge me $3 shipping for one pillow and $8 shipping for two pillows. Can this be fixed?

Too many drips for wraps
I have a question about the excess water once a salad is rehydrated. I made chicken salad for wraps with freeze dried chicken, dehydrated carrots, cukes, and onions. (Plus a few spices, raisins, pe...

Arm length?
I am interested, but it is for a tall thin guy with 35" arms. Any idea if the arms on this jacket would be long enough? Thanks.

Sometimes I just carry them
If I'm on an obstacle-free trail, I will usually just carry the poles by holding them towards the middle so that they balance in my hands. I can hike much faster if I don't touch the poles ...
