Disappointing - it claims to average 26 gallons, but after about 20 fillups, the water flow started getting very weak, and we ended up getting dehydrated and sucking and squeezing for every precious sip. It only came with 1 filter. Get 1 bottle for each person, and 1 filter for about every 4 days.

Awesome! Definitely the way to go. I am very picky because I have a bad back, but I had no problems sleeping on it.

YUCK!!! TASTE IS AWFUL IN MY OPINION.

This particular type tasted truly awful, in my opinion.

A big mucky mess, bring your own cookies.

Messy and difficult to make. Taste is fair. Cereal, dry if necessary, is the way to go, or breakfast bars.

A waste of money if temperatures are more than 40 degrees. A cheap poncho in warmer weather would be better since you can put it over your backpack to keep it from getting wet.

Very nice, but I got cold one night when it couldn't have been less than 50 degrees. Very lightweight and compact, and it packs up quickly and easily.

Very nice - but be aware the propane canisters go very fast.

Surprisingly good, and healthy too!

Much smaller storage space in each bag than I thought, but they do keep stuff perfectly dry. You can also save money and buy cheap nylon bags from a dept. store and put a couple garbage bags in them - works almost as well.

Nice shirt, but who cares when you're in the woods? Get a cheaper polyester one from a dept. store.

I didn't have any, yet, but it got good reviews from one who did. It's the same stuff you can buy from grocery stores - cartoned soup, like black bean. Buy it from a grocery store and put it in ziplocs.

This is a nice overall tent but could be a big problem in 2 scenarios: 1. It's raining when you want to set it up or break it down. It's wide open without the (excellent rain fly). 2. The "bathtub" floor is awful thin. I can't image it lasting too many trips until it develops holes, and, if it rains hard, the floor will probably develop a lot of condensation. If you're going to spend $ like I did, you might want to see if there is anything similar that doesn't have these potential problems.
