Re: Match the tool to the job The Snow Peak GigaPower with it's windscreen works very, very well with the JetBoil pot. The simmer is the best I have ever used and I have cooked perfectly golden-brown pancakes and fried cra... |

Took the plunge... Whisper Uberlight Pack Well, I finally took the plunge. I have been a faithful Mariposa user for I don't know how long, and will remain so for certain hikes. That said, I have a base pack weight that easily works w... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Titan pot LMAO! It looks like you were either testing pots and stoves or you were trying to re-animate dead body parts. Either way I totally approve of your lab setup. Like I said, I wasn't studying... |

Re: Re: Ti Skillet/Pot One of my favorite dishes on the trail is crab cakes. The recipe is VERY light and you feel like you are eating like a king when you make them. A good friend of mine gave me the recipe. They are... |

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... |
