"Wolves kill teacher in Alaska" Thank you for deleting a big part of my discussion. I believe the handling of the situation of the killing relates very much to a person's worldview and beliefs. I in no way intended to sta... |

"What kind of rope for bear bag?" Paracord or dacron kite cord works fine... at least 40ft worth. "That's why I switched. Though, it was fun to shine a light on the Triptease at night and have it look like laser beams... |

Nite ize S-Biner I picked up one of these at Wal-Mart for about $2. I love it for its ease of use and functionality. I use it for bear-bagging the PCT Method. I also like how the wire gate is responsive enough to open... |

Gatorade Bottle Works great. I would replace mine every trip when I still used them, but they probably could last longer than that. One con is that after a couple uses, it leaves a plasticy taste. Good alternat... |

Potable Aqua Iodine Drinking Water Germicidal Tablets Well, the first thing I can say about this is that I just out right hate them. They are messy, and if you want to use the tablets that make the iodine taste "go away", that just complicates ... |
