Gossamer Gear Fire-fly This stove was beautifully made, but unfortunately I believe they are no longer being made. Good boil times and it all packs down to easily fit inside my SUL 500 pot. The pot stand may be a little hea... |

Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Glove / Liners These have been my gloves of choice for awhile, they never really see much use though because my travels in Arizona don't call for the use of gloves much. Got them at a good price at REI, and comb... |
