Re: Re: Re: Potty Trowel pattern OK... I went through three wheels. That doesn't necessarily count as a "LOT". A little dramatic exaggeration on my part. I didn't have a pair of snips that were up to the task.... |

Re: Re: 1.25 lbs of food per day? For a given distance I don't think pace is as big of a contributing factor as the total mass of the hiker and changes in elevation (the route of the hike). Consider the case of two hikers of... |

Re: storage? I just wad it all in there. Usually I'll wad the sleeping bag in the bottom. My tarp goes into the "hydration pouch" inside the backpack (I never use it for it's intended purpos... |

Re: Satiety By the way, I got my package and, Sarah, thank you so very much for everything! Also, thank you for the recommendations. I love your cookbook, by the way, and bought it as soon as it was publishe... |

Re: (non sweet) Energy Drinks I don't like the stuff that is really sweet either. I just buy the powder and add it to the water to taste. I think I wind up using 1/2 what the package says to add. I mostly want the stuff ... |

Re: Re: Potty Trowel pattern Well folks, here is my finished trowel: I had no problems making it. I cut out the trowel from the sheet of Ti using my Demel tool. Safety glasses were key! I went through a few wheels.... |

Re: Re: 1.25 lbs of food per day? I'll add to the discussion something that I don't recall reading about. While in food a gram is a gram and a calorie is a calorie different foods do have different "satiety value"... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Ultralight fire starter Did I mention that it smells bad when it burns? |

Re: Potty Trowel pattern Got my TI sheet in the mail today and cut out my trowel to the pattern Denis provided. I went through a LOT of dremel tool wheels. I turned out pretty good. Now I have to bend it and put the &qu... |

Pro-Tick Remedy Pro-Tick I am so glad someone posted a review of this gizmo. First let me say that you can remove a tick with a pair of tweezers. The Pro-Tick Remedy tool is not multi-use like tweezers. That said, it w... |

Repel Lemon Euculyptus Insect Spray I am a huge fan of 3M Ultrathon largely because the stuff works REALLY WELL... for what I use it for. So this is sort of my "gold standard"... encapsulated DEET lotion. That said, differ... |

Mountainsmith Wisp I forget when I bought this. It was on an uber-closeout type deal. This sleeping bag is not made anymore. The facts: - 750+ fill down - Size Long (6' 6") Weight: Says 24 oz, 23 oz in ... |

Martin Backpacker Guitar Now here is a review you don't see every day. This was a very thoughtful gift from my dear wife. I am an avid guitar player but leave my music at home when I hike because a flat-top 6-string ... |

Jetboil Personal Cooking System What's with people that review gear they have never owned nor tested in the field? This is a mystery to me. Anyway, on to the Jetboil. I bought this because... I had an REI dividend and the... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover This was my default insulating layer until I bought the MontBell Down Inner Jacket. This jacket is very warm, as is the vest. I prefer the older models (05 and later) to the newer ones. I recall ... |

WalMart What is there to review? Be careful driving in the parking lot because people seem to switch off their brains when they walk about outside the store. Seriously, they take anything back and there a... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) ...and they really mean it. I have seen people hopelessly abuse the return policy but REI stands by it. The prices are fair, especially if you use an REI Gold Visa. The dividend makes for a nice gi... |

Therm-A-Rest Lite Seat Works great and is light but very comfortable. It takes quite a beating and will eventually get a hole in it. I have had to make two repairs to mine. I use it to extend my sleeping pad setup when I... |
