Benzoin and Leukotape When using benzoin with leukotape, how long do I wait before applying the tape? Does the benzoin have to be tacky, or can I apply the tape right away? Cheers |

Those last few ounces I must say I have to agree with you here, as we seem to be in just about identical places in regards to gear and pack weights. I too can drag myself below that 5 lb barrier, but it is going to b... |

Amp I'm sure Brian has his excellent reasons for discontinuing AMP production but I'm just glad I got mine. For me it is the perfect little pack for one to four days of hiking. Never experien... |

Re: BPL dual chamber pillows I have had very good luck with this pillow as well. I bought a pack of three but after a a couple of dozen nights I'm still on the first one. Much more durable than I expected - I've even... |

Stuff in the sandals Daniel, It may well be the way you walk! While hiking with my wife the other day, I couldn't help but notice that every hundred yards or so poor Mary would be picking and flicking stuff out... |

sandals I'm another one with a couple of thousand miles in sandals - mine are Chaco Z1s. My backpacking experience with sandals has been gradual. I first got the idea from Chris Townsend's manual... |

Drying yogurt I have done this several times and it makes for a nice change on the trail. The technique is pretty well the same as for fruit leather. That is, spread it about 14 inch or so thick on lined dehyd... |

Map and compass skills You might try "The Essential Wildnerness Navigtor", David Seidman, Ragged Mountain Press, 1995. This should tell and show you all you need to know. Cheers |

Rain wrap Can't speak to Troy's dork issues with the rain wrap, but I have resolved my own! The bottom line is this piece of kit works. Most of the kids who giggle at me are lugging loads of 30 to 4... |

U/L wind pants I bought these pants to use instead of my MEC Rad pants during three season hiking. They provide sufficient warmth, excellent wind resistance and are surprisingly water resistant. They are not ad... |

Melanzana micro grid hoody The previous reviewers have covered all the bases, and I'm not going to improve on them. This is a fine piece of clothing; well designed, well made, and extraordinarily comfortable. Love the usef... |

Thermarest Neo-Air I would second or endorse all of the enthusiastic comments concerning the comfort and warmth of the Thermarest Neo-Air, but unfortunately this is irrelevant, as I cannot keep air in the thing over the... |

STARBUCKS VIA Italian Roast I'll just chime in with my agreement. I never would have imagined that I would consider instant coffee, but this stuff is very good. The price however, takes some of the joy out of the brew. |

BPL Blow-Up Pillow I've used the dual chamber version of a couple of years now, and I like it. I had durability concerns of course, but the fact is I am only on my second pillow. I agree that partial inflation is ... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Grace Duo Spectralite Tarp At current prices for Spectralite 60, this tarp makes for a credit card statement to hide from one's wife! This is not a complaint - just a simple statement of fact. What can I say? The tar... |

ULA Amp This was my first experience with a frameless pack, and I must say I am very pleased. The construction/workmanship is as expected with Brian Frankel's products - flawless. I did have reservation... |

Kelly Kettle The boys in the office presented me with one of these kettles as a retirement gift, and I must admit it sat in my gear closet for quite a while - I just couldn't see the utility of the thing. I h... |

Trail Designs Caldera Stove As with the previous reviewer, 5/5 for efficiency, simplicity and ease of use. It is an absolute delight not to have to fiddle with flimsy windscreens. I have the cone fitted for the .9 litre Vargo p... |

Six Moon Designs StarLite I am in absolute agreement with the previous reviewer as to the qualities of this fine pack. Mine has seen heavy use for the past two years with no sign of wear. I differ in one respect in that I do... |
