Re: Armed fires Matt, you are a man to be reckoned with. You are hereby awarded this thread and the Internets for one day. Cheers, Rick |

Re: Camelbak Elixir I think that's right, and it's surely not going to launch bacteria battalions. I'm just a fussbudget when it comes to this sort of thing, and can usually taste teensy amounts of flavori... |

Re: "glove" like footwear for cycling? First thing--there's no single solution for hot and cold weather and you'll need a two-season strategy. For summer I have a pair of Keene spd-compatible sandals that work great. They have t... |

Re: Camelbak Elixir I'm with you, the green Elixir is just about right. I also like emergencyC. Can't adequately describe how disappointed I was when I tried NUUN. Nasty stuff. YMMV. p.s. I only mix this so... |

Re: msr reply I think in the case of products that emit flame, an upgrade scheme for user implementation sounds like a path straight to the courtroom. I'm willing to bet MSR stoves hold a good deal of their ... |

Re: battery life All sorts of things consume power--the displays, the shutter, the auto focus, the flash--how they divvy up on a particular camera is almost impossible to say. The CIPA score should be taken less as... |

Re:MSR Whisperlite gas cartridge modification? Uh, conceptually it shouldn't differ much from the Primus and Coleman equivalents but swapping in the hose sounds pretty kludgy. The jet should work as is. But I'm among those who think ... |

Re: To Steripen users... Hi Bryan, If I follow the guidance correctly, you're supposed to put the cap on loosely then invert and rinse out the threads with treated water. Alternatively you can pour the water in u... |

Re: nalgene canteen hydration bladder for steripen users Good system! I use 2 and 3L Cantenes with a UV Aquastar, which screws on and can be inverted, which improves agitation compared to stirring, but I think both approaches work. Cheers, Rick |

Mountain Gear I've placed a few orders with Mountain Gear, going as far back as when they were based in Idaho, and they've responded flawlessly each time. I admire the breadth and high quality of their sele... |

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... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) As another Seattle kid who loved few things more than pilgrammages to the Capitol Hill store, I still associate the smell of cresote with hiking gear. It's hard to imagine backpacking without REI. ... |

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... |

Golite Hex 3 I've used a Hex 2, the 3's somewhat smaller brother, with good success for a few seasons. The quarters are a little snug for six-footers, but it's a minor concern. My main complaint is that the ventil... |
