Great versatility with a extra cap, easy to over tighten

Platypus Hoser Hydration Bladder

Rating for this product: 4 September 1, 2011

Bought this for a trip to Yosemite NP. Did both the Half Dome hike and Mt Conness. Worked really well for the whole trip. Really glad I bought an extra cap. Made it easy to switch between this and my other two Platypus bottles without having to re-thread the tube through my pack. Only problem I had was that screwing on the hose too tight made it leak. Just had to test it by giving it a good squeeze to check for leaks and tighten or loosen accordingly.

July 31, 2011

Does GSI make a cup or bowl that nests inside the 32oz kettle like it does for the larger version?

Platypus Cleanstream Gravity Filter System

March 17, 2010

MSR and Platypus should be identical filter cartridges. But yes there is just a platypus cartridge. Around $50

Platypus Cleanstream Gravity Filter System

Cascade Designs makes Playpus and MSR products. Try MSR Autoflow Gravity filter replacement. Costs the same and looks suspiciously similar.

Great for Hammock Camping

Black Diamond Orbit Lantern

Black Diamond Orbit Lantern

Rating for this product: 5 February 14, 2010

Great little light. Lightweight and very compact. Works great in my hammock at night. The frosted globe provides a soft light that's great for reading and other tasks. The top hooks make it easy to hang anywhere and the dimming function is nice for conserving battery life.

On my last trip it was nice having this lamp hanging from the ridgeline of my hammock. Didn't have to dig for my headlamp when my tarp came loose in the wind.

Not a good replacement for a headlamp or flashlight.

Great hammock, what happened to the Tree Slings?

Grand Trunk Tree Sling Hammock Hanging Kit

Grand Trunk Tree Sling Hammock Hanging Kit

Rating for this product: 2 February 12, 2010

I received a set of Tree Slings with my Grand Trunk Hammock and I was not impressed. A few feet of cord with two knots tied in it. No way to adjust the length and the cord isn't very tree friendly.
