bug-nets Maybe its a typo... maybe the decimal is in the wrong place. If its true though, that would definitely be a bit of kit in the unobtainium category! |

Montbell Breeze Dry-Tec UL overbag (M) I have used this bivy for 1 full season now. Compared to the BMW Vapor bivy this overbag has several plusses and minuses. The advantages 1. No stakeout points. This may seem counterintuitive, ... |

MiniBullDesigns Trek 3 The MBD Trek 3 is the fully pressurized version of their original side-burner. There is no priming cup. You must add the denatured alcohol via small hole on top of the stove after unscrewing a wing-... |

Vargo 1.3 L Titanium Pot Very well made item. On the bottom of the pot it says "made in Japan" which from the dimensions, suggests that its an Evernew pot without the pot handles. I'm not sure how long the non-stick surface... |

MSR Titan Kettle Great primary pot for 1 or 2 if you are going to boil water and add. I have even used it for cooking rice (you'll need a pot cozy). I gave it a 4 because of the flimsy handles but I guess for UL coo... |
