Re: Re: Re: cold weather stove Thanks for posting that web site of that movie. I really enjoyed that! Might I add a tad dramatic... but you apparently really love this stove! |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: tarptent? Hehe, I knew I would draw heat for posting that. On edit I will add that I own two Tarptents and love them both equally... a one and two person Virga with the floor and extended beak. When I go... |

Re: Chlorine Dioxide The wait time for the tablets is the same as for Aqua Mira. The tablets don't have the 5 minute prep-time that the pre-mixing of Aqua Mira requires. The tablets are, however, more expensive p... |

Re: Re: $25 sleeping bag limited field test Thanks for this, Jim. I have struggled with a sleeping bag that the guys might use in my troop. Most of the bags the guys have are huge and heavy... cheap poly bags. Totally unfit for backpackin... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: tarptent? See if you can find someone that has a Contrail before you buy one. They aren't for everyone. If I do use a tent, which is pretty much never these days, it's a Tarptent... go Henry... but... |

Re: Re: Solid Fuel/Alcohol Stoves Very cool project, David. Thanks for posting that. I have never seen your web page before so this was a real treat. |

Re: Solid Fuel/Alcohol Stoves Don't buy... build. I posted this on another thread but here is my cookset... 1.5 oz. These stoves are very easy to build... I build them with my Scout troop as a project about once or twice ... |

Re: jacksrbetter.com sale: no sniveller arrived I noticed something. The flyer that came with the quilt says my quilt is a No Sniveller with 2 inches of loft. The Jacks 'R' Better web site I ordered from says: "No Sniveller... |

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... |
