Re:Sawyer SP122 Flow Rate? Is this a new filter or used? Have you tried backwashing at the faucet? If used, have you run chlorine solution through it? You're still at about half the rate I'd expect. Cheers, ... |

Re: Zooms ... Lightweight Mid-Height Trail Shoes State of the Market Report 2011 @ FritoKid "Nike Air Tallac Zooms. Great lightweight boot and they were tough to find from the get-go. Bought a pair and wore them for awhile even though they were a little too small (only ... |

Re: Sawyer SP122 Flow Rate? Seconded. Clear all the air (in hose and in filter) and you should get very good flow. You're using 1/4" ID tubing, yes? Cheers, Rick |

Backcountrygear.com I have to put in a plug for these folks, with whom I've shopped on line and over the phone, and who also have a store in soggy Eugene, Oregon. They have a great backpacking and climbing selection f... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover I upgraded to the Micro Puff pullover after several seasons with the old Puffball pullover. Lighter, warmer, stuffs smaller--the Micro Puff is an all-around improvement to what was already a fine garm... |

MSR Titan Kettle Noting the shape isn't the most efficient for squeezing every btu from the stove, the MSR kettle remains a very good single-pot option. It packs nicely, works well with small to medium stoves, pours w... |

MSR SimmerLite I find the Whisperlite to be MSR's easiest liquid stove to use, and certainly the nicest to lug, bulk and weight-wise. Simmering performance is best with a light touch on the fuel pump--try using l... |
