Fountainhead
The B&M pole you linked is next to impossible to fly cast with. I bought one to play with and decided it was nearly worthless as a tenkara substitute. I like my Fountainhead Caddisfly 330 an...

Baking with alcohol?
First, the options that use water are not baking in my opinion. I am not really interested in those. I find that if once my Pepsi can stove is going good I can take away the pot stand and set t...

None?
With any tent with a floor, with a bivy, or with a a tarp bivy combo, I gave up on carrying any ground cloth a few years ago and have yet to regret it. A tarp and no bivy is the only combination w...

NeoAir

Spare
