Re: Coleman Fyrestorm Ti & SS Thanks Roy, that answers a lot of questions. The cartridge inverter seems a little...overengineered. |

Re: Coleman Fyrestorm Ti & SS Now that's some fine sleuthing, Bill. They're not planning on giving these away, are they? I think it's a positive sign that Coleman's refocusing on the backpacking market after a few years adri... |

Smaller GPSs ahead? I'd say so, based on this tiny new receiver chip: http://www.ohgizmo.com/2006/01/23/worlds-smallest-gps-unit/ http://www.rakon.com/whatsnew/display?article_id=-80&template=news My uninform... |

Coleman Fyrestorm Ti Stove? Has anybody seen detailed information on this stove? Coleman has a full-page ad in the 2006 Backpacker Gear Guide (p 101) but I can find nothing further on the web. It appears to be an evolution... |

Re: bullion cubes, just say no! They sound great! Where can I find these critters? |

Re: Hypermaterialism and Ultralight Gear I purchased a singularity from InfinitelyDenseGear.com and now my entire suite of possessions takes virtually no space whatever. There are drawbacks: * Still working on retrieving them for use. ... |

Re: Influence of gear tests I can try to respond as a section editor and reviewer (please note: this my personal response and hasn’t been vetted by anybody). The guidance I’ve gotten, and continue to receive, is to be as ... |

Re: Saw Delight I've used a Sandvik pruning saw around the house for about ten years. I've literally cut down whole trees with the thing--it's great. No chopping though. 6.4 oz. http://www.ccrane.com/more... |

Re: Montbell bag Hi Paul, (I'll try to get the name right) it's an Alpine Down Hugger #5 Super Stretch. (Whew!) Mine's the earlier no-zip version. It's a very clever, comfy and compact bag, and quite optimistica... |

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... |
