Good if you like fish

Written on Sep 10, 2013

This was really good if you like fish. I would add a little salt but otherwise it is excellent. The pesto adds a lot and the salmon is better than it should be.

Great flavor and texture. I would take this backpacking for sure.

Decent meal

Written on Sep 10, 2013

It was good but lacked a little kick. Seemed a little watered down so I would suggest cutting back a little bit on the recommended water.

Great filter at a decent price

Written on Sep 10, 2011

The MSR Miniworks is a great filter for the price. It is very reliable and easy to maintain. I usually find chemical treatment easier but when that is not a option the Miniworks is the way to go. The Hyperflow will pump more quickly but you definitely sacrifice durability and ease of cleaning. The ceramic filter can be used several times before it needs to be replaced.

Why go Titanium when you can go plastic?

Written on Sep 10, 2011

I wouldn't say this is the most stylish or decorative but really who cares when you're packing in? Why spend $25 on a titanium spork when you can spend [$] on this and not have the trouble of punching a hole in your meal pouch. It is lightweight, convenient and inexpensive. You can't go wrong with the Light My Fire spork.

Great lightweight setup

Written on Sep 10, 2011

I have used this stove backpacking and fishing and have been very pleased. With the simmering ring you have great temperature control for simmering or cooking fish. (you don't get that with a lot of other stoves) It is extremely lightweight and packs down very small. The westwind stove is simple yet very stable and reliable. If you are counting your ounces this is a great setup.

Very nice stove but not for me....

Written on Sep 10, 2011

I think this is a great stove but it's not really for me. I think the problem is that it is a liquid fuel stove. I have been spoiled by the ease and size of the canister stoves. Once I get it going it performs great but getting it lighted is the frustrating part. I would recommend this if someone knows they want a liquid fuel stove.

Great addition for anyone

Written on Oct 07, 2008

The Montbell Down Inner Parka is a great addition for anyone. This is a very versatile piece that I have used in many different situations. I wear it casually as well as using it for a technical piece. It is very lightweight and will stuff down into a small stuff sack that comes with it.

The sleeves and body are true to size but under the armpits and around the chest can feel a little bit tight.

Not Just For Emergencies

Written on Oct 06, 2008

I love this headlamp. I have one in my climbing bag, one in my car and one for camping. Of course this is perfect for emergency use but did you know this is a great alternative to those bulky, heavy headlamps? The Petzl E-lite is a great headlamp for camping, hiking, climbing and almost every outdoor adventure you can imagine. It has a surprisingly bright light and last longer than you might think
