Answer to: "Can you refill the "JetFuel" tank with butane from any outlet..."

Jetboil Personal Cooking System

September 24, 2008

First off, these Canisters are not refillable and will need to be replaced. But this stove is compatible with any self sealing Isobutane Canister (JetPower, IsoPro, GigaPower, Bruntan, PowerGas).

Money!

The North Face Terra 40 Backpack - 2450cu in

Rating for this product: 4 September 16, 2008

I have to say, considering the name on this bag, you get way more than what you pay for with this bag. Excellent storage. I just got back from a weekend in Colorado and took everything I needed for my four day trip. I could even carry it on the plane! Plenty of room for everything you need. My only problem was that the water bottle containers were too small for the likes of a Nalgene or one of the Backcountry.com bottles. They would fall out if I bent over too far. But, the adjustments were easy and the pack fit great. No rain cover though.

Darn Tough Shoe

The North Face Ultra 104 GTX XCR Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 September 16, 2008

I just took mine up Castle Peak in Colorado. I hit mud, loose boulders, snow, everything you can think of. My foot stayed warm the entire time (thanks Gore-Tex!) They're a little low cut if you're looking for some ankle support and when the snow got above the ankle rim, it got a little wet inside, but when I took them off at the summit, they dried super quick (10-15 minutes). Might be a little heavy for trail running, but great for backpacking and hiking!

Can't Wait!

The North Face Half Dome Hooded Sweatshirt - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 August 7, 2008

So I was so pumped when I got this sweatshirt, then I realized I got it in the middle of summer in KY. I have been able to wear it a couple of nights though and it feels and fits great. I don't usually say this, but I can't wait for colder weather! Check this one out (especially while its on sale!)

These sandals rock. There was some rubbing on the first couple of wears, but they broke in real quick and are super comfortable. Plus they look badass!

Super Comfy Shirt!

The North Face Hang On T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 July 3, 2008

This shirt is really comfortable and can be used for whatever you want, whether its hitting the trails for the day or you're just hanging with some friends. Shirt fits a little loose, but only if you're on the small side like me. Another great product from TNF... big surprise, I know!

Awesome!

The North Face Venture Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 27, 2007

I just bought this jacket and the day after I received it, I got to test it out on a hard rain. I live in KY where its insanely humid and this jacket keeps me dry without giving me a muggy, wet feeling inside. Plus, its incredibly light which rocks! Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay dry.
