boil time I wasn't very precise with measuring time. The fastest I can remember was 1.5 cups of water at around 5 minutes. The water wasn't very cold. The longest I can remember was at around 7,00... |

Super Dog Stove One of my backpacking friends was interested in the Super Cat stove I was using (see jwbasecamp.com for detailed instructions). I told her all about the virtues of alcohol stoves, but in all hones... |

oil v butter Eddy - in your first post you said you bought coconut oil, and in your next post you said the coconut butter didn't set up. Which did you use? |

square oreos When I made my batch, I wasn't about to cut little circles and re-roll scraps, so I just cut the dough into rectangles and added the filling. Somehow I ended up with one mate-less rectangle, p... |

Coconut Butter substitute? Sarah - do you know of a substitute for coconut butter that would work? I'm not that crazy about coconut, and where I live, I'd probably have to mail order it. Just plain ol' margarine? |

MLD Prophet For me, the Prophet was the better option. I bought the Exodus and sold it, because it was too big. The Prophet cinches up just right for day hikes, and it expanded to plenty of room for a recent... |

Raw Brownies I finally was in the same place as my Ninja food processor and made these today. Another instant evergreen from Sarah! A big glob of it is going in my pack for tomorrow's hike. Interesti... |

Perils of Iron in the Rock Ken - I was on an unnamed peak with a group years ago in the Teanaway area in Washington. We were all getting wildly different readings as we were trying to identify different peaks. Several of u... |

RAB sizing I, too, bought a RAB Pulse based on this article. I returned it, because the cut was too tight in the hips. I hope RAB makes it in a woman's style soon, because the fabric did seem wonderful.... |

Botach Tactical Customer Service I had a similar experience to David's. They sent the inferior space blankets, rather than the correct order, took forever to send a return UPS shipping label, and only yesterday admitted to recei... |

Boomer's Guide to Lightweight Backpacking by Carol Corbridge I was very disappointed in this book. Luckily, I didn't buy it but had checked it out from the library. For starters, the book is in major need of copy editing. There are lots of awkward sent... |

Backpacking Light Merino UL Pants These do everything BPL promised - provide comfortable warmth without being bulky. I've worn them under non-winter hiking pants all winter, and they've extended the comfort range down to 7 de... |

Hikelight.com Company I just discovered this website that is based in Oregon. It seems to be a distributor of some of our favorite brands - SixMoonDesigns, Tarptent, Montbell, GraniteGear, and Western Mountaineering. No ... |

HarmonyHouseFoods.com vegetables and beans I just received my second order of dehydrated food from Harmony House. First I bought the vegetable pantry stuffer - 16 different quart-sized containers of various dehydrated vegetables, and then a we... |

Golite Paradox pants I'm not sure whether to review these in raingear or softshell clothing, because they're both. They are all-day pants, rather than rain pants to pull on over hiking pants and are made of a fab... |

Sealskinz gloves I had the same experience as Brett. My non-waterproof gloves absorbed less water than these. |

ULA Circuit This pack was on backorder, but it came sooner than Brian said it would. I gave it a 2-day test this last weekend on a short backpacking trip in the Cascades. I was pleased that it was as comfortabl... |
