Re: Redundant Items Hi Brian Just curious if you have ever tried this for real: "if I was hypothermic it would make a big difference if I could build a fire faster and with shaky cold hands when everything ... |

Re: Redundant Items I would also consider a knife to be a redundant item...for me. I DO carry a very small knife to cut salami and cheese, etc...but hardly an essential item that I couldn't live without. However... |

Packa s/m 2008 model I thought it better to keep the Packa reviews in one place, so this applies to the 2009 medium/large Packa. To be honest, I wanted a Roger Caffin style poncho, but could see it was going to take me m... |
