Re: Re: Rankings via Simultaneous Equations / Matrix Math But pj, you ARE the STANDARD!! (ok, have to put Bill F in there also) Understatement? Actually, compared to crypto from a past life, this becomes a trivial matrix. I would expect the real g... |

Rankings via Simultaneous Equations / Matrix Math This is a very classic, but straight forward problem that gets solved every day: You can see the output of a system, can guess what the inputs are (or they are from a finite and limited input set)... |

Re: Big Sky tent Yikes!! Another good reason to pay with credit card. If it's any consolation, you might consider rating them in the Reader Reviews, under category 1, Companies (Customer Service). Good luck. |

Re: 2 person bomber tents There are 6 Stephenson Warmlites listed in the gear guide, and a couple of forum references. Why not write a reader review? I think most readers here are interested in any gear that has advantage... |

Neat idea Brett I built an extra bedroom, with an extra 8 x 10 doored off void in the back for storage. Funny thing is, only backpacking / camping gear is in there. Don't have Brett's nice shelves, but it works. |

Happy Thanksgiving! no worries When I look at the scope of problems in the world, and think 10 minutes ago I was debating if I should get the evernew or BPL Ti Pot, and am healthy and thrifty enough to go hiking at will, I reali... |

Wii on ebay ends at midnight Eastern, break for BPL'ers OK, it's a shameless plug for my kids, who spent the night in line to get a Wii, and trying to help pay for it by selling 2 others. If you're interested, thanks, if not please disregard. MikeB ... |

Does a solar still purify water? A discussion came up regarding the need to, or not to purify water that comes out of a solar still. A couple of articles I've read indicate you can directly drink anything that comes out of it, in... |

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... |
