re: MLD tarp
Ken: sure, you could use this tarp to make a lean-to setup or any other shape you like to hide underneath and cook with. It's not really HUGE like you see some people using that makes a ginorm...

re: ULA and NOT Granite Gear

Bushbuddy "Ultra" (BPL/Ryan Jordan/Arctic 1000 Version) Wood Stove

Light My Fire Spork
I went through 3 of these on my AT thru-hike last year before finally giving up and going for .99 Lexan spoon. At first I adored the spork, but after a few weeks of usage it broke in cold weather. I...
