See review posted with MSR Groundhog Tent Stake Kit. DUH!

Best stakes I have ever used. These are strong, will not bend or splinter. Cord pulls are a super feature. They do not take up space. These are the ultimate answer to stake issues.

Purchased Wanderfreund for an extended fishing trip to Idaho/Montana. 2008 water levels and velocity were unusually high due to Herculean snow pack and resultant run off. I have just returned without immersion thanks in large part to my "freund" the Leki which allowed me to return from rivers to shore dry on several occasions. This staff is light but strong and worked well in the battle with 5,000 to 7,000 CFM flows. The design of the handle is exceptional in that it allows a horizontal as well as a vertical grip depending on the needs of the situation. Trekkers in hilly or steep country will find this very useful as well, especially on the downhill where vertical pressure is indispensable. Conventional hiking will be assisted by the alternative grip to rest the grip and wrist on occasion. The WF is well constructed and designed allowing quick and sure extension for use and telescoping from three to one piece for ease of storage or packing after use. This is a quality and practical purchase for a good price.

Canister is very packable; attaches to stove in a quick second. Heats food and liquids fast. Eating alone, I used 1.5 canisters in nine days in the Idaho "outback". I was not on a seven course regimen, of course. Must be purchased locally or sent ahead by ground (as all fuel must) thanks to 911 terrorist cretins and the idiotic Brit terrorist- wannabe with the shoe fetish. Buy it, you will like it.

The Ruckus shirt is a very wise buy. Its fit and finish are good-looking and extremely comfortable. It absorbs moisture very quickly, dries just as quickly, and resists perspiration odor build up. Of course, continuous wearing, i.e. a week-long wilderness adventure may call for a quick rinse and dry following which, you are good to go. Buy it, you will like it.

This is a great shirt. Alone or as first layer, it is comfortable and fits very well. It wicks quickly, dries quickly, and does not quickly absorb perspiration odor. If in the wilderness, rinse it. It dries without odor when worn almost immediately. For laid back or full bore activity, it is comfortable and stylish (if that matters to you). This shirt has it all.
