Re: Re: Re: BB wind-up fan
Perhaps Sierra could work on lightening their design, if the goal is to achieve the lightest possible fan-driven wood burner. The beauty of, and I reckon the mfg philosophy behind, the Bushbuddy is...

Re: Packraft Trekking in Montana's Bear Trap Canyon (Videocast)
I'm just pleased as punch that we have folks like Ryan and Roman with the specialized knowledge, a conservationist's mindset, and the willingness and ability to share that rare combination ...

Re: Salomon XA Comp 3 Trail Runners
The replacement lace kit can slip, probably because the tolerances on the "wheel lock" aren't quite as good as on the original (one threads the lace through the wheel lock when instal...

Re: Re: Re: Hiker Falls 200 Feet After Bee Attack" in AZ
Africanized honey bees. Not wasps, bumble bees, etc. Just to clarify for anyone alarmed by this discussion. I, for one, would not have put any stock in the all-africanized claims, at least base...

Re: Made in The US
Some people might be surprised to learn just how many of the textiles used to make today's lightweight backpacking gear can be obtained directly from US manufacturers. I know I was. As one ...

White Box Alcohol Stove
The absence of a separate pot stand is an elegant little feat of stove engineering, and the design is marginally lighter than a pop can stove and stand (0.3 oz lighter than the Go-Torch by MoGoGear), ...

Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap
The fact that the cape is entirely removable, rendering a standard ball cap, is both a boon and bane. The cap alone, with its hip, curved brim and streamlined look, passes the urban street test, w...

Montbell Super Stretch Down Hugger #3
My new 2007 model 800-fill bag failed bigtime in the warmth department. Even with ample layering, pad, and use inside a tent, I couldn't seem to shake off annoying cold spots and a palpable sense ...

Other reviewers have covered the LMF Spork's merits. And while I certainly agree, there's just no getting around the fact that mine broke into two pieces after just two days of use. Inevitably...
