Re: Cleaning the Sawyer Inline Filter- Draining Excess Water I would imagine a blow drier might help as well. |

Re: Squeeze The setup in Nico's picture looks just like mine. As he said, some Platypus bladders fit the threads, some don't. The ones that he shows (with squarish bottoms) seem to work fine (http://ww... |

Re: Re: Windshirts: 2012 State of the Market Report - Part 2: The Present and Future of Windshirts John beat me to it. I too am curious as to why you picked the Dynamo (5.1 oz.) over the Tachyon (2.3 oz.). Maybe you could have reviewed both of them. I know you can't review them all, but mayb... |

Re: Sawyer Squeeze question Filling the dirty bag is pretty easy. Obviously if you find running water, then nothing else is needed. For a lake, a plastic bag will work. Some folks use a cup or bowl that they might use for din... |

Re: Re: Re: Some clarity... Like I said, bike shoe covers are specifically designed for this. Not to cover boots, of course, but to cover bike shoes. Bike shoes and trail runners are quite similar. The only difference is that... |

Re: Suggestions for UL Waterproof Gaitors? There are plenty of good gators out there, but I don't think they will keep your feet waterproof, unless most of your shoe is waterproof. They will cover your ankles and much of the boot, thoug... |

Re: Windshirt I agree with most of the comments, especially Dan's. Here is my take on it: A windshirt is not necessary. I always carry the following while backpacking: 1) T-Shirt 2) Puffy Jacket (synt... |

Re: Mombasa Defender as a 7 oz tent, $26 at rei Sounds good to me. I'm not sure I would call it a tent, though. Add a tarp and you've got yourself a tent (and a double walled one at that). |

Re: Big Agnes Fly Creek 2 Platinum Tent Review So, what is the rain fly made out of? What about the bug net? I assume most of the weight savings came from a lighter zipper, lighter bug net and lighter rain fly. If the bug net and rain fly are p... |

Gossamer Gear Another GG review, another five out of five. This time, I broke a pole section (the lower part, or tip). It was my fault (I stepped on it) and not the fault of the pole. A call to customer support (I&... |

Ultrapod Mini I am very happy with my Ultrapod Mini. It does what is supposed to do very well. You often have to be resourceful with it; but with a little imagination, you can take great pictures. For example, if y... |

Pentax Optio WP I very much like my Optio WPi (6 mp). I have found the waterproof feature to be of much greater value than I originally expected. For winter pictures, it is really handy to set up a picture and not wo... |

Eureka Zues II Exo I bought this tent a few years ago, before I knew about tarp tents. I have been happy with it, but it is a little smaller and heavier than a tarp tent. As a free standing tent, it is more round, which... |
