Andinista redux Ryan,what we used to do with our Andinistas to create helmet space was to create a hollow in the back of the upper part of the pack through creative packing and to adjust the lid so it sat away fro... |

Fly in the GPS ointment? Perhaps one should not leave their compass at home,as witness the following news brief-- "Bush Prepares for Possible GPS Shutdown AP - 2 hours, 8 minutes ago President Bush has ordered plans f... |

climbing packs for long torsos I'm not clear on how small you can compress the McHale pack in question. I've used a Wild Things Andinista since the 80's. It can be stripped down/compressed to something like 1800 cu. in. I hav... |

Backpacking Light Firelite SUL-500 Cookpot ...but I do actually own one of these puppies, so I'll chime in. It's thin, thin, thin and I could squeeze a significant dent into it, in my hand. You don't get this extreme level of light... |

Playpus 2L Big Zip It's never leaked in it's 1 1/2 years of use and have come to trust it. I generally use this on group trips where it's nice to have larger volumes of purified water on hand in camp situati... |

Platypus Platy Reservoir The dedicated hydration systems by Platypus are more reliable than the "retrofit" of the resevoir into one. The Big Zip is far better to the purpose. |

BMW Cocoon Pro 60 Parka Another preliminary review focusing on fit, features and construction. Although many of you might be more attracted with the (on paper) 1 oz. savings of weight of the Cocoon Hooded Pullover, the Pr... |

MiniBullDesigns SSBIT Another very fine MBD alcohol stove. This one is a pressurized top jet design that produces a flame narrow enough to use with Heine and Foster can/pots. It was ostensibly designed to retrofit Esbit s... |

MiniBullDesigns Stealth (ver.1) This fierce but absurdly light (.23 oz.) little side-burner is great for boiling water in a Snow Peak 600 cup. Takes about 6 min. Burns for about 8 minutes or so on 1 oz. of fuel. This was an earli... |
