Re: Backcountry lampshade A styrofoam cup works pert' good as a diffuser. And it's, well, also a cup. |

Re: Helix Shaft Protector The pipe insulation looks like a great answer for protection against bumps and scrapes! I can also imagine wrapping the shaft with fabric tape, such as adhesive tape or even handlebar tape. I'm ... |

Re: Panel Loader Theory and Ideas Hi Brian, Variety is the spice of life and since I’m a gearnut, I’m obliged to encourage you to develop a panel-loader. That said, I appreciate that being a small maker-vendor, you can easil... |

Re: Ghost observations I tested the Ghost last year for this site. It would be high on my recommended list--provided it fits as there's no back length adjustment. Should you buy on line, be sure there's a return policy i... |

Re: Hex 3: for 3 or not? I've got the slightly smaller Hex 2, but even with more room I'm not sure I'd want three fullsize adults inside, presuming a pole-less pitch. It's pretty easy to get wet brushing against the walls ... |

Re: GALVANIZED WIRE MESH McMaster Carr has it, but in quantities sufficient to supply the entire forum. http://www.mcmaster.com/ Search "wire mesh" products, or see # 9327T626 as an example. Getting back to galvan... |

Re: wire mesh pot stand - galvanized? I *think* that once you've burned off the zinc there're no more fumes generated, so you only have to go through the process once. Perhaps our chemist-types can verify? You might also look for st... |

Re: Milkman I agree! Discovered it in Boy Scouts eons ago and still use it today for camping and backpacking. As a kid who had to either have powdered milk (bleccch) or (bleccch X 10) soy "milk" due to alergie... |

Re: GI problems & chemical treatment Think of the Miox as a little chemical plant, using two chemicals (salt and water) and electricity to create the treatment chemicals (chlorine compounds and acid). This makes it a close cousin to, ... |

Re: other symptoms. Hi John, I second Paul's recommendation to utilize PT's lifetime warranty. I'm testing the Quad, and it exhibits none of the behaviors you're describing. Good luck. |

Mountain Gear I've placed a few orders with Mountain Gear, going as far back as when they were based in Idaho, and they've responded flawlessly each time. I admire the breadth and high quality of their sele... |

Backcountrygear.com I have to put in a plug for these folks, with whom I've shopped on line and over the phone, and who also have a store in soggy Eugene, Oregon. They have a great backpacking and climbing selection f... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) As another Seattle kid who loved few things more than pilgrammages to the Capitol Hill store, I still associate the smell of cresote with hiking gear. It's hard to imagine backpacking without REI. ... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover I upgraded to the Micro Puff pullover after several seasons with the old Puffball pullover. Lighter, warmer, stuffs smaller--the Micro Puff is an all-around improvement to what was already a fine garm... |

MSR Titan Kettle Noting the shape isn't the most efficient for squeezing every btu from the stove, the MSR kettle remains a very good single-pot option. It packs nicely, works well with small to medium stoves, pours w... |

MSR SimmerLite I find the Whisperlite to be MSR's easiest liquid stove to use, and certainly the nicest to lug, bulk and weight-wise. Simmering performance is best with a light touch on the fuel pump--try using l... |

Golite Hex 3 I've used a Hex 2, the 3's somewhat smaller brother, with good success for a few seasons. The quarters are a little snug for six-footers, but it's a minor concern. My main complaint is that the ventil... |
