bear protection for agile people confronted with de-clawed bears Clearly, the knife that freezes the griz's innards at the push of a button has been rejected by some sissies and tightwads. Accordingly, I suggest a multiple use jug for the hiker in close ... |

Mountain Laurel Designs 850 ml Cup Perfect because it does what the advertisement says it will do. It holds enough water to reconstitute your freeze dried food, and your hot drink. Boil the water for both, pour whatever is needed for t... |
