"Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove"
Since I started using a windscreen with my pocket rocket my fuel consumption has gone way down and my boil times are faster. Again, I've never used a jet boil, so I can't compare the two...

"Jetboil Sol Titanium Stove"
My little pocket rocket with a small titanium pot and, most importantly, a windscreen boils water very fast, and because of the windscreen is super efficient. It's also versatile. My windscreen...

"Bearikades"
The smaller size of the Scout is just great for packing. I like the Weekender too but its size makes it a bit more problematic fitting in my pack. For 5-6 days the Scout is definitely my go-to cani...

"electrolyte supplements---capsules in particular--how many?"

Helium Vs. Versalite (I know, another sleeping bag comparison rehash)"
I'm 5'9'' and 140 lbs. I like my Helium, although I haven't had it down to 15% yet. And I haven't used the Versalite. I got a great price on the Helium. It is roomy but I...
