.5l rigid Nalgene for coffee Doubles as a sock dryer, sleeping bag/pocket warmer. The rigid model tastes fine for coffee, soft one is OK, but tea only. Opening is slightly smaller than the 1l size (touches my nose) but fits in... |

GSI kettle: perhaps there are 4 versions Sarah, Only the v1 (by my count/observation) has a basket, so perhaps I started count at your v2. Somewhere our numbering must not line up. Neil, Check your metric to US conversion. Nice kit. I ... |

gsi kettles Local gear shop, mountainsports.com, had 3 versions of the gsi anodized kettle. I observed minor scratches through the surface, imprecise placement of rivets, and variances in lid fit (tightness/lo... |

GSI Ketalist? Is anyone using this? I haven't found the weight for the kettle minus the accessories. Is it the same kettle they had out before they introduced the kit? Looks pretty ergonomic (spout, bail, no... |

Long ridgeline, no poles. We tie to trees in Arkansas. Cliffs might also work, by placing chock stones in cracks. A longer ridge line (preferably reflective or white) opens up options. Without one, you may still be able to ... |

Littlbug Wood Burning Stove Littlbug Junior I have some, but not enough experience with campfires and this stove seems like a good tool for me. My MYOG attempts were not satisfactory. This stove will let me dispose of my laundry lint and avoid ... |

Ben's Backwoods Online Retailer He caters more to the bushcraft market than the UL market. Good selection of Moras. Shipping cost is reasonable. When I destroyed my plastic handled Mora Triflex with poor baton technique, he let m... |

Lighten Up! by Don Ladigin Very well organized. The crucial topics are touched. Combining the illustrations with the text allows for a brief overview or an in-depth visualization. As little as 1/2 hour of skimming gives a wealt... |

Lightweight Backpacking and Camping by Ryan Jordan et al. If you have just stumbled onto this website, I highly recommend getting offline and reading this book. It covers many (perhaps most) of the topics repeatedly discussed here. It is well organized. It m... |
