Re: Re: Getting the PDF directly from the site What I do when I wish to keep an article is to copy / paste to Word. Oftentimes, I do it by section -- instead of copy/paste in its entirety -- to avoid ugly, mismatched pics and margins and all ... |

Buying at the Right Place Aug: I see. Getting yourself properly clothed and equipped from home will be very expensive -- as the gear would be viewed as "expedition" -- with price tags to match! If your body ... |

Big Sky Ultra C Aluminum Tent Stakes I've been using titanium shepherd hook stakes for years now -- loving their ultralight weight but disappointed with their suboptimal ground penetration and holding power. These stakes can be bent... |

Coleman F1 Ultralight The first review touched on the F1's performance. This post will describe and critique the set up process. Prior to buying the F1, I have used the MSR PocketRocket (PR). With the PR, all you ... |

Micropur MP 1 Chlorine Dioxide Water Purifier Tablet Comparison to Potable Aqua above is incorrect. For bacteria and viruses, Micropur is just as effective and easy to use (15 minutes treatment time). It is only for protozoa (e.g. cryptosporidium) t... |
