    Life is too short to spend it all inside. Growing up less than 30 min from the mountains, i was drawn to the local range. It allows me to do almost anything i want from biking, hiking/camping, and my addiction; climbing.

Rating for this product: 4 April 1, 2009

All of the multiple zip modes make this a great air mattress for multiple types of company, from my younger cousins to my brother looking for somewhere to sleep and doesn't want to sleep on my love seat. Great price for all the purposes it has. The only negative thing that i have to say that it needs to be refilled each night or it eventually goes flat; common issue in air mattresses.

Rating for this product: 4 April 1, 2009

I have been pleased with this package. I too have to agree that it needs to have a little weight added to the bottom to keep it from wanting to tip over. I like the brush, The normal and the thin bristles on opposite sides clean a wider variety of holds.

Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter

Katadyn Hiker Pro Water Microfilter

Rating for this product: 4 March 27, 2009

The best part about the hiker pro is the adapters that come with it. One of them lets u put an adapter on a hidration bladder line and fill it without even taking it out of the pack, makes the whole getting water process a little less time consuming. It has really held up to some abuse and i have gotten a very reasonable amount of water out of one filter. The only con that i can find is that it is a little of the big size, when compared to some of the pens or a small bottle of chlorine.

Merrell Cruise Control Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Merrell Cruise Control Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 March 25, 2009

I really like how these shoes rock forward when running. It takes a lot energy from my calves and i can really feel the difference after really long runs. I ended up getting rid of the speed laces because it seemed like the small plastic cap would keep falling out and bouncing around. I have completely worn out a pair of these and plan on getting another pair. The only shoe that i use for trail running.

CAMP USA Dyneema Tri Cam - 0.5-2.0

Rating for this product: 5 March 23, 2009

My rack has previously been limited to stoppers and hex due to money restraints. I bumped into a set of three(1,1.5,and2) for a resonable price, and have fallen in love. They are super light and make for some very confident plaecments. The coolest thing that i found with tri cams is that they can be placed in face pockets, and feel super solid. I still chuckle a little bit each time i place one of these in a pocket...tee hee.

A great way to extent the evective width of your rack without haveing the shell out the bones for some large cams. I end up using more of the small sizes(4-6) but have found some bomber placements using the #10(really inspiring some confidents).

Mad Rock Phoenix Climbing Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 March 23, 2009

There were the first shoe i bought. They were great to start out with, but aren't all that great on more technical climbing. The shoe has a lot of flex, even with propper sizing. The good thing about these shoes is that there was little break in time and i could wear them for multiple pitches without wanting to take them off for belaying.

Rating for this product: 5 March 23, 2009

I picked these up for trail running and love how they feel. I usually have to change socks in the middle of a long run and sometimes even put on mole skin to prevent blisters, but i have completed a 50K with these, mud and water crossings, and never changed socks once. Great feeling not having to worry about blisters and hot spots.

First of all, u have to been someone that doesn't mind a lumbar pack. I can carry all i need for a great training run and, other than when the bottle is completely fun, it is hard to tell that i have it on. Great pack for the light weight runner.

I do think that the 3 person rating is a little bit of a stretch, but i have done a week with two others and the only place that felt constricting was down at the feet. The kite shape of the tent allows for an arrow placement into the prevailing wind. I has held up to some really windy days when placed point into the wind.

This watch is a bit on the big size, but that does help when u want to look at your watch without bringing it up to your face. The altimeter remains accurate for the day as long as it is set each morning. Compass seems fairly accurate, but is best as a quick reference.

Great Shoe!

Five Ten Galileo Climbing Shoe

Five Ten Galileo Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 4 March 17, 2009

These are a great semi-aggressive pair of shoes. CONS: I would have given them 5 stars except for two things. They took about a month to fully break in, with some very painful days. The other thing is that they are not the best for someone with a low volume foot. The Velcro does keep then tight, but the extra strap can get in the way. PROS: Once broken in, they feel really solid. The onyx rubber is great and has really shown the test of time, showing respectable wear.
