Wears like Iron.

Written on Oct 05, 2021

I previously wore Danner for my previous life in law enforcement. I tend to be conservative, but was trying to get away from tacticool basic black. I wanted Fugitives, but they were just not for daily wear. I found a pair of Asolo Falcons in Blueberry at the local REI. I’ve been wearing them daily for over a year and just bought my second pair. They wear well, are super comfortable, look good almost anywhere. Don’t hesitate, pull the trigger great boots

Awesome out of the box!

This is apparently what MSR built its reputation on. I have only run it on a canister so far, right side up not off the liquid which makes it a Universal. As I have seen on so many reviews, pulled full field cleaning on it. Between the instructions and YouTube really simple, though I will carry the book with me. Some reviews report d over torqued fittings and screws, they have apparently crossed that assembly issue. Cranked right up at 60 degree, pretty steady breeze, sputtered and in consistent flame, then leveled right out. Brought 1.5 Lars to a boil in a little over 7 minutes timed. I have tried white gas yet, which should burn a little hotter, also used a low flame. It is not any completion for my Reactor, but it does Whisper. Go ahead, you know you want to get yours!

This is a must carry on a day hike or EDC bag.

This is a must have, only wish they had it in a military green, or actual coyote instead of a tan. My wife and I were on a day hike with another couple. The canyon we were in follows a creek and was much cooler and more humid then when we first came in. My wife started to get cold, looking like we might have call the hike. The wife of the other couple pulled out a nanopuff, and saved the day. So impressed with warmth to weight ratio that now we both have one.

These are cut very athletic, so if you are middle aged as we are go up at least one size. My wife about 125 and the medium was just to snug. We sent it back for an exchange but they were out of larges in the cold we order, s they sent it back? I ordered the men’s large until we could get the ther exchanged, and other than Steve length, it is about what we were looking for. Compressed to about the size of a softball. Everyone should keep 8ne for layering under a soft shell just in case. Very ware and versatile.

These skivies should be military issue! Best boxer briefs ever!

I have been all over the world in cotton skivies, now I ask myself why. While pricy, they are hands down the most comfortable, wicking base layer underwear ever. Great under a uniform, the only thing more comfortable would be commando. ExOfficio got this totally right! Do yourself a favor and try a pair or three! You will not second guess the cost.

A little small, order up at least one size

I ordered my wife the Patagonia Nano Puff pull over after we were hiking a canyon with another couple and my wife got chilled. Janice let my wife barrow her’s and she loved it. We were day hiking and it compacts up to about a softball size, so it takes up no room. My wife is 5’4” and about 130 so I got here a medium, it fit but just really form fitting. We ar exchanging for the next siz up. Great price from Campsaver. We have never found better customer service.

Near bullet proof.

Purchase with confidence. These are MilSpec, the package even has the Marine Corps logo! I carried thin on a mystery mountain Scree, worked and fit great. Did not impart any flavor, easy to fill and clean.

Eagle Creek 1/2 cube

Written on Nov 18, 2017

This is a little early. The right color to locate deep in your pack. I have recently started day hiking with my Myster Ranch Scree, and also have an EDC pack. I was looking for a wat to easily transfer my EDC items to my day pack and back. This is a little large, but the right color, I carry a head light, knife and trauma kit daily, so instead of duplicating I got the half cube. Seems to be well built with nice material and solid zippers.
