Bio:
Black / double black snowboarder since '98 who prefers the trees and bowls over the park. Starting to pick up telemarking this year.
Former collegiate rower / cyclist gone to the computer geek world. In the seasons free of powder, I'm primarily a Trail runner, though I've also competed in the top 5% of my age group in triathlons (all distances). Always been a backpacker, though getting into mountaineering.

Fi'zi:k Gobi XM MTB Saddle
November 26, 2008
I ride with the Gobi on my mountain bike, but I tried it on my road bike and I honestly don't care for it as much. After trying scads (20+) road saddles, I'm personally sold on these two:http://www.backcountry.com/store/SEL0004/Selle-Italia-Fl

MSR WhisperLite International Multi-Fuel Stove
November 11, 2008
Angus pointed out a long bit about using vinegar to wash out the system, and leave notes for TSA. I agree whole heartedly with him and didn't realize a "tweak" was going to remove his comment. (Sorry man.)The vinegar seems like a good idea. I've also had good success in taking about 3 plastic bags (from the grocery store), some packaging tape and making a seal around the bottle. Step one: put bottle (and anything else with fuel smell) into bag. Step 2: completely encase plastic bag in packaging tape so no part of the bag isn't covered with tape. Step 3: Leave note for TSA. Step 4: Put 2 more plastic bags around it.This may not be the most "approved" version. But it's worked on 5 international and domestic flights. Your mileage may vary.
