Re: hydration maybe Or you can just make your own gatorade. I like this version: 1 package regular (as opposed to artificially sweetened) koolaid (pick a flavor you like), 1/2 C sugar (that's half the regular do... |

Re: Bothy Bag My idea was to hold a tarp-like something, parachute-style, over everyone without actually climbing into anything. Any reasonable facsimile of a lightweight tarp will do. |

Re: Shelter - Day Hikes Since this is just a lunch-break shelter, you've probably already got what you need. Just dig a knee-deep circle in the snow, the diameter of which will depend on the size of the group (about ... |

Re: Stephenson's Warmlite 2R or 2X I was lucky enough to get my 2R for less than half price and practically new on ebay last year. The seller was planning to get a bigger one. It uses a huge footprint, but is easy to set up and is... |

ingredients Thanks, Sarah. By the way, I've made a lot of the recipes in your ziplock cookbook. I substitute instant mashed potatoes and dehydrated hamburger in a lot of the rice and tuna recipes to suit... |

Botach Tactical Customer Service I had a similar experience to David's. They sent the inferior space blankets, rather than the correct order, took forever to send a return UPS shipping label, and only yesterday admitted to recei... |

Boomer's Guide to Lightweight Backpacking by Carol Corbridge I was very disappointed in this book. Luckily, I didn't buy it but had checked it out from the library. For starters, the book is in major need of copy editing. There are lots of awkward sent... |

Hikelight.com Company I just discovered this website that is based in Oregon. It seems to be a distributor of some of our favorite brands - SixMoonDesigns, Tarptent, Montbell, GraniteGear, and Western Mountaineering. No ... |

HarmonyHouseFoods.com vegetables and beans I just received my second order of dehydrated food from Harmony House. First I bought the vegetable pantry stuffer - 16 different quart-sized containers of various dehydrated vegetables, and then a we... |
