AWESOME   06-07-07   

This bike computer is excellent. It has every option I can think of that I would want. Easy assembly, but if you want to learn how to use the advanced functions you'll need to read the instructions. But that shouldn't be a problem, it comes in about 6 languages. I'm thrilled with this bike computer.

GSI Outdoor Telescoping Spoon    Read other reviews of this product
 
Great mutli-use   07-02-07   

The side of this spoon has measurements in ounces, and the spoon holds 1/2 cup, so it works great to measure water for hot chocolate or dehydrated meals. The plastic does get soft when it's warm, but it does not melt. Great compact storage and easy clean-up.

ALPS Mountaineering Cyclone Compression Sack    This product is no longer available
 
Pretty good   06-19-07   

This bag works fairly well. You can't stuff as much in it as you can the top compressed bags, but it keeps the bag narrow, instead of a ball like the top compression sacks. Works well inside a backpack when you want to stuff something next to it. It all depends on what you need it for.

Adventure Medical Ultralight .3 First Aid Kit    Read other reviews of this product
 
Perfect Size   06-19-07   

A very handy first aid kit that is ready to go when we are. We leave it in the back of our kid carrier backpack and is just perfect for little scrapes and cuts.

GSI Outdoor Deluxe Kitchen CG Set - 11 pc    Read other reviews of this product
 
Love it   06-05-07   

Love it. The spoon has measurements in OZ on the side for convienience and is the perfect size for scooping portions. The salt and pepper shakers don't leak when they get turned upside-down. It is missing a few things, like scissors and a knife, but there is room to add small things. The camp towel even works as a potholder.

Compatible   06-05-07   

This bottle is compatible with other stoves, which is nice. It comes empty, which was not specified to me.

Lowe Alpine Sirocco Hyperlite 60L+10L Backpack - 4300cu in -Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Good pack   06-05-07   

This backpack is great for adjustability. It feels very natural. One disadvantage is that it feels like one big sack, but the bottom pouch does have access to the bottom of the main compartment. The straps tighten down to compact the backpack even further. Overall a nice pack.

Big Agnes Encampment Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Climashield HL    Read other reviews of this product
 
Nice Bag   05-21-07   

With the warmth and insulation of the Big Anges Encampment sleeping bag, I was sure I was going to roast all night during our summer campout. All I needed was a light blanket, but I decided to put the Big Anges to the test. I was very pleasantly surprised that all I had to do was leave the bag unzipped a little at the top and it was the perfect temperature all night. Definitely a very comfortable sleeping bag.

Kelty Tour Kid Carrier    Read other reviews of this product
 
How did we survive hiking before?   05-21-07   

The Kelty Tour Kid Carrier is a necessity for hiking with young kids. We have 4 boys under the age of 7 and want them to be familiar with the outdoors. We decided to give this carrier a try. The pack was completely adjustable for both parents (6 ft dad and 5 foot mom), comfortable for both of us, and not back-heavy at all. The biggest test of all: our 18 month old son loved it! If necessary we could even carry our 3 ½ year old.

Jetboil Group Cooking System with 1.5 Liter Cooking Pot    Read other reviews of this product
 
Glad it's compatible   07-02-07   

Works well with the Jetboil cooking system. It doesn't pull from the bottom of the canister though. We were able to make dinner at night and pancakes the next morning, but after that the fuel was pretty much gone.

Jetboil Group Cooking System with 1.5 Liter Cooking Pot    Read other reviews of this product
 
Fast boiling time   07-02-07   

Boils water in a couple of minutes, which is great. Fast, easy set-up. It works well for 1-2 person cooking or boiling water. Tried to make pancakes though, and could only make one at a time. Works well with regular pans too. It is silly that it has a plastic lid though, if you snap it on you can't check on the food/water. We turned it upside-down and that worked well.

Backcountry.com The Goat Organic Cotton T-Shirt Long-Sleeve - Women's    Read other reviews of this product
 
A little tight   07-02-07   

The sleeves are a little tight on this shirt. I bought a medium (I wear a small to medium) in tan and it fit okay, but not quite how I would have liked it to fit. I also was not thrilled with the color, I thought it would be more of a cream, but it definitely is a tan color. It is warm enough for summer camping when you want just a little extra warmth in the morning.

GSI Outdoor Salt & Pepper Shaker    Read other reviews of this product
 
No More Mess!!   07-02-07   

Great product. The salt and pepper stay in the container, not on the lid. I've got one for camping, now I need one for the ice chest/lunch box. It also pours really well for those that don't like to shake the salt for 5 minutes to get salt on their food.

Tastes like plastic   06-19-07   

Works really well, but it tastes like plastic. We still need to flush it and see if that helps.

ALPS Mountaineering Compression Sack    This product is no longer available
 
Great   06-19-07   

We have 2 large sleeping bags that always take up a lot of space. We were able to put both inside this bag and it takes up less space than one sleeping bag on its own. It makes a ball shape that can be difficult to put into a backpack, depending on how much you stuff it. Definitely a good buy.

Kinesys Kids' SPF 30+ Sunscreen Spray 4oz    Read other reviews of this product
 
Feels a little sticky   06-19-07   

The spray works well at covering, but the lotion feels sticky until it dries. My kids did not like the feel of the spray, but they also like not having sunburns.

Great Shirt   06-07-07   

Thought it might be a snug fit, but it's great. My wife even threw it in the dryer and it still fits well.

Peppery   06-05-07   

Very peppery. Thick soup, edible with a fork. Not to our liking. But it is filling.

Yummy   06-05-07   

Good flavor. The kids even ate it and enjoyed it. Definitely needs a non-stick pan or oil. It also fit into our mess kit pan. Would buy it again.

No bites   06-05-07   

This bug spray is a pump, not aerosol, which is nice, but unfortunately it doesn't cover well. It feels like a lotion, which my family did not like. But we did not get bitten, so that's a plus.

Platypus Platy Bottle    This product is no longer available
 
Great for 72-Hour Kits   06-05-07   

This bottle is very light weight and great for packing in our 72-hour emergency kit. The first gulp is usually of air, but the pull top is very convenient. It is not compatible with the platypus hydration pack this site sells, unfortunately.

Nice Toy   06-05-07   

Great as a multi-function tool. Test water temperature before diving in, speed of rapids or wind, get the temperature or know your altitude. The altitude does not always seem precise, but close enough for what we need.

Kelty Sun-Rain Hood for Kid Carriers    Read other reviews of this product
 
Very Nice   05-21-07   

I would call this accessory a must. I cannot imagine using the Kelty Kid Carriers without having the child's head protected and I know a hat just won 't stay on my son's head.

Spill-proof and all   07-02-07   

This water bottle is nice. The hook is great for attaching to the chest strap of our Kelty Kid carrier (or a backpack). Also fits well into a bike water bottle holder.

Not what we expected   06-05-07   

Not at all impressed with this stove. We had a hard time getting it to work at first, and it blew out after we had our pan on it. We were glad we brought our old stove as a backup.

Definitely a side dish   07-02-07   

We forgot eating utensils, but that's okay. This meal is so thick you can eat it with fingers. Not a favorite of ours.
