Victorinox Little Vickie
The Victorinox Little Vickie looks like a good choice for the situation. The price looks good too so I went ahead and ordered one. It looks like they no longer make the Black Lite Skillet. I...

Knife? Fry Pan?
I am pondering over what extra gear I want to take for catching, cleaning, cooking, and eating fish on my John Muir Trail trip this August. Do you who fish while backpacking add much extra weigh...

Trail runners

Mountain Hardwear Phantom 45
