Re: Re: GG Mariposa + Carbon Stays Good point. Unless you provided a anti-torque arm on each of them, or connected them, then that's an issue. On the other hand, it might be just as easy to use one of the lightweight pillows f... |

GG Mariposa + Carbon Stays How hard would it be to get a carbon fiber stay made that had some degree or bend built into it? |

Re: + + Frogg Toggs I'd second the Frogg Toggs. We have a couple of pairs. They are relatively comfortable, breath very well, and reasonably lightweight and rugged. MikeB |

Re: Black Bear outside the tent strategy question I have concerns with Bearbangers. First, it would be nice to know how much of a fire hazard they might be. That was not clear from their web or MSDS page. This might be a prescription for disast... |

MSR Pocket Rocket This is a pretty basic stove that is simple to operate. It's lightweight and reasonably efficient. We used 3 of these on a 10 day hike with 10 people and they worked well. The stove is reas... |

Light My Fire Spork I like the LMF Spork, but it's almost too flexible. I can agree with many if not most of the comments above, and have had one break. When you use it to stir something very hot, it gets soft and ... |

Garmin Rino 120 GPS and FRS / GMRS Radio Great Idea, lacking implementation.The premis of the Rino family is that it would be great to know where others are via GPS location. Great Idea. This is accomplished by using FRS radio frequencies i... |

Marmot Helium (long) I had this bag for a short period, but really liked it. It's so warm, that it was almost too warm for me above freezing, but a very comfortable bag overall. It fits me (6'1") well a... |

Atkinson's Chick-O-Stick Crunchy Peanut Butter & Coconut Candy I really like the "Chick'O's", they do pack significant energy in a small package, and the taste is very good. They don't break as easy as some, and have a similar texture in h... |

Jolt Gum I guess if I was going to give this a really fair shake I'd have consumed the whole pack. Unfortunately or fortunately 1/2 a piece was more than enough. The taste isn't there, and I do have ... |

Tarptent Cloudburst The Cloudburst 2 was my first tent from Tarptent. I like the design, and it holds up well in rain and wind. It sleeps 2 comfortably and sets up pretty easily with as few as 3 stakes. It weight a ha... |

Sling-Light Chair w/ body and kneck rest I purchased 2 of these initially for a 2 week hike. In the store, it seemed like a pretty good idea during a quick checkout. It's less than 2 lbs, so one of the lighter camp chairs available. It do... |
