Jetboil Personal Cooking System    Read other reviews of this product
 
Currently use it, can't necessarily recommend   05-25-04   

The design is a thing of beauty and simplicity. Unfortunately it has some inherent safety issues. First the electronic striker does not always ignite the gas as early as it should, this can cause a flash ignition (I had my first unit replaced because of faulty igniter). Second, the metal cup/pot that attaches to the burner and gas cannister presents a real problem should your boiling of ramen noodles get away from you. As the boiling liquid spills over and down the side you risk scalding while attempting to turn the flame down, and you can't just lift the pot off the flame since the cup is locked to the burner for safety purposes. Boils water super fast, lightweight, and good fuel efficiency. Just make sure it ignites, don't ever let it boil over.

Granite Gear Drylite Rock Solid Compression Sack    Read other reviews of this product
 
Lightweight, works great...   12-02-03   

I purchased the X-large so I could have all my bedding gear in one place. Previous waterproof stuff sack was too small to fit my mummy and sleeping gear. This bag makes it a snap to stuff my mummy and bed clothes. Pull on the four compression straps and you are done. Lightweight, waterproof, I love it. Should have done this years ago.

Patagonia Capilene LW Boxer Brief - Men's    Read other reviews of this product
 
Lightweight and dry   12-02-03   

I have tried several other athletic boxer briefs that promised no chafing and to keep you dry. This is the first pair that kept me dry even after a full day of backpacking. I highly recommend these boxer briefs.
