Re: Anyone tried Ryan Jordan's new recipe? I'll bet if you read the ingredients on the labels it wouldn't be so simple... the gravy mix prolly reads like a chemistry experiment! Haha. I used to feel the same way as Ryan. I wen... |

Re: alcohol stoves I use a piece of foil and I just wrap it loosely around the stove so the setup doesn't overheat. I see a lot of alcohol stoves that people run way too hot. They wrap the windscreen too tightl... |

Re: re:Bushbuddy - Did you say &120? You just need to buy it and then impress her with the nice wooden box it comes in and the superior craftsmanship. It's a work of art, not just a stove! If that don't work remind her who... |

Re: Re: re:2 liter japanese beer cans vs. re-sealable aluminum If I read that correctly it's very cool. If not then I need to think about the use of the butter verrrry carefully. ;) |

Re: Stove for firelite 500 I found that the Nion 2 works well with this pot. It's a cool stove, but requires a pot stand. On edit I need to correct myself. I meant the Nion 1... I only just ordered the Nion 2. Stil... |

Re: Alcohol stove idea I have never tried this. Give it a shot. It's a good idea. The heat exchanger on the JetBoil pot/mug seems to work very well, although all my "tests" have just been field experienc... |

Re: Pic of Bushbuddy Nested in MSR Ti Kettle The Bushbuddy DOES fit inside the MSR Ti Kettle... sort of. It has the proper diameter but is too tall. So the lid won't close. It's perhaps a quarter of an inch too tall. I'll try ... |

Re: RE: MB #7 Down $127,MB UL $120 Tough call but I'll tell you that that dern down inner jacket is one of my favorite pieces of gear. I own both jackets and love the both. The down jacket is outstanding and if I could have on... |

Re: Ultralight Knives and Other Sharp Things I eat the MONSTROUS weight of the Leatherman Micra today. I love that thing but in truth I would say I use the scissors and the knife blade heavily. I have used the tweezers a few times (cactus t... |

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... |
