The BB does not fit well in the MSR Titan, it sticks out the top. Get the Trek 900 it was designed for or the pot from BPL.

You guys never got the word about Permatex Flowable Windshield Sealant? It blows that Silnet crap away, much easier to work with at half the price. The silnet applicator is designed so you'll...
These are the lightest "hammock-rated" carabiners. I've used them for 30+ nights with no issues. And yes, I know how to tie all manner of knots, including that stupid Hennessy lash.

Well, I own one of 'em and it leaves ZERO carbon anywhere on the stove. So explain that if it isn't a gassifier. There is nothing left but a little white ash, because every H-C bond has been broken...
Correct, it most definetely is a gassifier.
Yes, this is truly good news. Congrats Ron and I hope you keep the place packed, I plan to get up there as much as possible. You might consider catering to hunters there in OCT/NOV.
I like my full zip precip pants but I don't plan to use them in warmer temps anymore (they do breathe pretty well) because I'm going to get a ULA rainskirt.

I have yet to unpack my crystal ball, I'll get back with you.
I applaud Sen Bunning. He proposed using already appropriated "stimulus money" to pay for said projects including the extension of benefits. The DEMOCRATS refused, they want to pile up an even...
It is normal, it happens to each and every sleeping bag purposely designed without a side baffle. Summer sleeping bags, even from top notch companies like Feathered Friends, are designed this way to...

My bad. A poncho would suck in alpine conditions.
On the AT, if it is warm enough to start hiking in shorts, you'd be better off with a poncho. A rain jacket will be much too warm. In cold weather you'd have to be brain dead to take a poncho. In...
I made one using Just Jeff's plans, it works great. If you have an old Nalgene and are handy with tools (you need a dremel tool) it's a way to go. The downside is this, the filter has to be...
BAD ADVICE! Get some ripstop repair tape, ideally in a matching color. I have some on a North Face down vest that is probably 20 years old. If you sew it it'll pucker and look like shiite.
You are late to the party J-rod. see post #2 above.
I did the same thing as an arctic infantryman in Alaska. We were only issued one "arctic" (read guaranteed to freeze) canteen, so I had to improvise. The most common injury was from overheating IE,...
Caldera Cone and stove for your pot.
I shortened my Nest (removed the last two foot baffles). Saved four ounces.
Get a lighter hammock, depending on your weight. I use a Hennessy Hyperlight....
A Kifaru Longhunter pack weighs 7#, it is designed for a hunter to pack 150# of meat (quartered elk or deer) out of the wilderness. A ULA Catalyst weighs 3#, and is all any trail hiker needs. A 6#...
The Riverside Resturant has some crazy hours, open on the weekends (Atlanta money is in town for the weekend), closed the first of the week IIRC and they are only open for supper, I think. Best to...
I should attempt to enlighten you as to the difference between ionic (salt) and covalent bonds, and the fact that many pesticides are some sort of cyclic hydrocarbon ring bristling with covalently...
A little basic knowledge of chemistry can go a long way, when a chemical formula says CHLORINE, it means CHLORINE. Dioxide simply means two atoms of oxygen:

Well, take it from a retired Special Forces medic whose been to a few of those "garden spots" and seen how indigenous folks have to endure lack of potable water, you don't want to trade places with...
