Re:Stove Fuel/Airlines:BAD ADVICE! (Sorry for the posting, but I got an error when I tried to PM you). Yikes Robert! Maybe you wish to reconsider your previous post to a public forum (if not delete it altogether). Whether we... |

Re: Re: Re: Havasupai Canyon Trash wasn't a problem in the past, but YMMV. After a big rain, virtually anything and everything can wash down on various parts of the trail. And not everyone practices leave no trace... ... |

Re: Love on the trail? A long time ago married (next door in Carollton) we faced the same delima, facing more and more ongoing and less subtle hints. Figured the right answer was "Grand-dogs". Trust me on t... |

Re: Alcohol Stove for Philmont? Phil, we used 2.5 lbs of canister gas for 10 of us. We took 3 titanium pocket rockets, 2 to heat water, one as a spare. We used turkey bag cooking method (boil the water in the pot, put the hot ... |

Babelfish translation (http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr) The valve and the canister are too heavy especially. The valve is not JSB made on an experimental basis three types in shape and in the past. As a result, the screw part thinks that the metal is ap... |

Re: Shoes for philmont I went to Philmont last year as an adult. One of my heavy & expensive 'official backpacking boots' Montrail Torre GTX split in the middle, making the pair virtually unusable. This was ... |

Re: Scoutmasters- I need help. If they're going 'soon', they're a little late to start thinking lightweight, but there are some distinct advantages you can bring. A few of questions to ask: Do I *rea... |

MSR Pocket Rocket This is a pretty basic stove that is simple to operate. It's lightweight and reasonably efficient. We used 3 of these on a 10 day hike with 10 people and they worked well. The stove is reas... |

Light My Fire Spork I like the LMF Spork, but it's almost too flexible. I can agree with many if not most of the comments above, and have had one break. When you use it to stir something very hot, it gets soft and ... |

Garmin Rino 120 GPS and FRS / GMRS Radio Great Idea, lacking implementation.The premis of the Rino family is that it would be great to know where others are via GPS location. Great Idea. This is accomplished by using FRS radio frequencies i... |

Marmot Helium (long) I had this bag for a short period, but really liked it. It's so warm, that it was almost too warm for me above freezing, but a very comfortable bag overall. It fits me (6'1") well a... |

Atkinson's Chick-O-Stick Crunchy Peanut Butter & Coconut Candy I really like the "Chick'O's", they do pack significant energy in a small package, and the taste is very good. They don't break as easy as some, and have a similar texture in h... |

Jolt Gum I guess if I was going to give this a really fair shake I'd have consumed the whole pack. Unfortunately or fortunately 1/2 a piece was more than enough. The taste isn't there, and I do have ... |

Big Agnes We had a short term need for a bag and pad we could use at Philmont, and the Scout was on a budget. We looked around and called Big Agnes. They had a demo bag come in the next day, and they called b... |

Tarptent Cloudburst The Cloudburst 2 was my first tent from Tarptent. I like the design, and it holds up well in rain and wind. It sleeps 2 comfortably and sets up pretty easily with as few as 3 stakes. It weight a ha... |

Sling-Light Chair w/ body and kneck rest I purchased 2 of these initially for a 2 week hike. In the store, it seemed like a pretty good idea during a quick checkout. It's less than 2 lbs, so one of the lighter camp chairs available. It do... |
