Re: Re: Re: bushbuddy and a 1 gallon pot On the topic of campfires for cooking has anyone ever made a dakota fire hole? You dig a hole in the ground, perhaps a foot or two deep... perhaps a foot across. Then on the upwind side about a f... |

Re: Re: FireLite 1100 Titanium Pot (well, not really) I'll contribute to the hijacking. My 15C from college remains my best friend although since I left the field of Physics I'll admit I don't use a lot of complex math nor can I recall th... |

Re: Gear Sale: Packs and Tents I'll take the Mariposa. Mine is in great shape but it won't last forever and I wouldn't replace it with anything else. I'll try to PM you since I don't see an email address. |

Re: OR Ion Windshirt? I recently purchased this product and so far I am very pleased with it. It was on sale at REI Outlet so I thought I would give it a whack. I owned one one before this and tried to seam-seal it to... |

Re: Re: Re: bushbuddy and pot combo Gear never really looks good until it's a little dinged up and dirty anyway... all these photos of pots not black with soot! Shame on us... time to hit the trail. |

Re: New BUSHBUDDY Ti Pot My SUL-1100 arrived today and I couldn't be happier. The lid fits perfectly so the problem with the earlier FireLite pots lid not fitting seems to have been resolved. There are smudges and fi... |

Re: Li batteries/Garmin I put the GPS in battery save mode and use fresh Lithium batteries. I also really only use the GPS when I need/want it. I don't generally take tracks or do things that require it to be on for... |

Re: Re: Poles - simpler without em I think the harsh reality is that most people I see on the trail or have hiked with simply do not use trekking poles properly. Used improperly they are basically just dead weight in your hands and... |

Pro-Tick Remedy Pro-Tick I am so glad someone posted a review of this gizmo. First let me say that you can remove a tick with a pair of tweezers. The Pro-Tick Remedy tool is not multi-use like tweezers. That said, it w... |

Repel Lemon Euculyptus Insect Spray I am a huge fan of 3M Ultrathon largely because the stuff works REALLY WELL... for what I use it for. So this is sort of my "gold standard"... encapsulated DEET lotion. That said, differ... |

Mountainsmith Wisp I forget when I bought this. It was on an uber-closeout type deal. This sleeping bag is not made anymore. The facts: - 750+ fill down - Size Long (6' 6") Weight: Says 24 oz, 23 oz in ... |

Martin Backpacker Guitar Now here is a review you don't see every day. This was a very thoughtful gift from my dear wife. I am an avid guitar player but leave my music at home when I hike because a flat-top 6-string ... |

Jetboil Personal Cooking System What's with people that review gear they have never owned nor tested in the field? This is a mystery to me. Anyway, on to the Jetboil. I bought this because... I had an REI dividend and the... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover This was my default insulating layer until I bought the MontBell Down Inner Jacket. This jacket is very warm, as is the vest. I prefer the older models (05 and later) to the newer ones. I recall ... |

WalMart What is there to review? Be careful driving in the parking lot because people seem to switch off their brains when they walk about outside the store. Seriously, they take anything back and there a... |

Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) ...and they really mean it. I have seen people hopelessly abuse the return policy but REI stands by it. The prices are fair, especially if you use an REI Gold Visa. The dividend makes for a nice gi... |

Therm-A-Rest Lite Seat Works great and is light but very comfortable. It takes quite a beating and will eventually get a hole in it. I have had to make two repairs to mine. I use it to extend my sleeping pad setup when I... |
