Re: Re: Best Cozy material? Thanks Brett and Phil. Brett, the 8 qt aluminum pot weights 20 oz, I slightly edited the post to indicate that, thanks for the clarification. Thanks Phil, this looks pretty easy for a quick pou... |

Re: Re: Best Cozy material? Hey Phil, thanks for the quick reply. When you make the cozies, do you make a bottom on them, could you make a bottom that would still fold flat? We were trying to remember exactly how much ... |

Re: MYOG headlamp? Here's the deal on regulation: If you can get away without it, you're a little bit better off. If you're going to burn out the LED with a regulator, then obviously you need one. A ze... |

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... |
