Re: Camelback All Clear UV Purifier Hey, how about that? I'd lost track of it since their prototype years back, which looked like a repackaged UV Aquastar. This one tucks the tube into the cap and is rechargeable only, with suppo... |

Re: Vestibule Look in the Tarptent gallery for some CB2 pics. The first generation has just an overhang, so it's not representative. http://www.tarptent.com/gallery.html There is a vestibule, comprisin... |

Re: Pollution over California's Central Valley It begins with airborne pollution pushing in from the Bay Area, primarily sourced from transportation, electricity generation and manufacturing (especially refineries). Most of the year it turns ri... |

Re: Ca destinations Hi Vincent, I'll second the suggestion of Emigrant Wilderness. It's fairly large, has a wide variety of zones to visit and isn't too challenging for kids to navigate. Permits are eas... |

Re: Titanium hardware cloth? About a hundred bucks per square foot at McMaster-Carr. A lucky person might find some at a surplus place for less, who knows? http://www.mcmaster.com/#wire-mesh/=g1ekb1 Cheers, Rick |

Re: Weather Sealed M4/3 Olympus OM-D Body Launch date Feb 8 Couple of minor "corrections" presuming rumors can be corrected with other rumors. EVF is 1.44M-dot resolution (VF-2 resolution) and there have been further rumors that it is a differe... |

Re: Lightroom 4 Hi Tony, You still did quite well at that price. The Lightroom workflow takes some getting used to, but the ability to organize, tag and track your photos through its database are worth the effo... |

Re: Lightroom 4 Thanks Tony, your selfless purchasing act ensured the release of Version 4 could proceed. :-) Depending on the time to actual release, they might upgrade you for free, otherwise it's been a ... |

Re: G1 X "And don't get me started on the lens hood mounted backwards on the lens." At least it's consistent with how they wear their ballcaps (offa my lawn, the lot of ya!). Absent ... |

Mountain Gear I've placed a few orders with Mountain Gear, going as far back as when they were based in Idaho, and they've responded flawlessly each time. I admire the breadth and high quality of their sele... |

Backcountrygear.com I have to put in a plug for these folks, with whom I've shopped on line and over the phone, and who also have a store in soggy Eugene, Oregon. They have a great backpacking and climbing selection f... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) As another Seattle kid who loved few things more than pilgrammages to the Capitol Hill store, I still associate the smell of cresote with hiking gear. It's hard to imagine backpacking without REI. ... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover I upgraded to the Micro Puff pullover after several seasons with the old Puffball pullover. Lighter, warmer, stuffs smaller--the Micro Puff is an all-around improvement to what was already a fine garm... |

MSR Titan Kettle Noting the shape isn't the most efficient for squeezing every btu from the stove, the MSR kettle remains a very good single-pot option. It packs nicely, works well with small to medium stoves, pours w... |
