I've taken this filter on almost all my backpacking trips. It is easy to use, foolproof, and gives you clean water instantly after a few pumps. It cleans well and isn't all that heavy to carry. An overall great product - I have yet to be disappointed.

I've gone backpacking several times and used these tablets... they definitely get the job done and they are good if you are on a budget. But I honestly prefer the other filters - they may be heavier and more expensive, but when you are in the backcountry and you want to drink now, it's worth the price.

I bought this as I always like to carry water/gatorade on any length of run - so this is a great device for those runs between 30 - 60 minutes. It took a few runs to get used to it, but now that I am I prefer this over the bigger 20oz bottle

I usually get small t-shirts so I got a small tee for this and it fits great. On top of that, it's an extremely comfortable shirt. I've run in it twice and it performs well

I have one of these for my Camelbak Magic - works fine, fits great, and stops from the tube falling and bouncing up and down.

This is a great pack if you just want to carry some water and a few extra items (gels, car keys, cell phone). I use this on adventures where I will be out half the day and want to go light.

Cool idea for the mouthpiece - I've had this feature on my camelbak for well over a year now and still have yet to have a problem

Easy to use, doesn't take long, gets rid of that "rubbery" taste that you can get from the bladder. Definitely worth it if you would like a clean bladder!

It took a week to get adjusted to them, but I am definitely seeing the benefits. These are the closest things you can get to really expensive orthotics. I have 3 pair, and all have held up well. Great for running as well as for those days where you stand up for a while.

They are great tights - they do everything they say and more. Comfortable, supportive, etc. I have no complaints, other than the price (I have 2 pair and each time I cringed when I saw my credit card bill). Rather than that no complaints -

These shoes are great for both trail running and hiking. They are extremely sturdy, durable, and comfortable. I have bought 2 pairs of these and even though I have moved onto a lighter faster shoe for trail running (these shoes aren't the lightest shoes on the trailrunning market), I still use these shoes for bumbling around in the woods for weekend hikes.

You will like the gels - tasty, easy to open, and reviving. The texture of this gel allows you to swallow easily unlike some others.

I bought this pack specifically for an 8 day trip in Glacier National Park - couldn't be happier. It was comfortable, held a heck of a lot of stuff (41 lbs at the start of the hike!) and was easy to adjust and has lots of nice pockets and nooks in it. I also use it for frequent weekend trips - good stuff.

While I don't wear these shoes to train in, I have run several 50Ks in these shoes and I have performed very well in them. They are very light, and can climb up a tree. Traction on these shoes are excellent - it is almost like a soccer cleat or a xc cleat for your hardcore trail runner. Not a lot of toe protection so be careful when you run on very rocky terrain. Also, not a lot of ankle support (I knew both of these things when I got the shoe). If you can handle them, they will make you feel like a pro!

Love this pack - it can carry a TON and only weighs like less than a pound. I love this pack to death.

I brought a thing of nuun on a backpacking trip and threw a few in a water bottle several times along the trip. For some reason the nuun made the water almost "carbonated" and honestly I didn't like the taste. Maybe I am just a gatorade guy at heart, and while I hear a lot of people saying good things about Nuun, I am just going to stick with Gatorade.

I was introduced to these in a 50 mile footrace in Arkansas... have loved them ever since. The flavors are very tasteful, and the gels are a tad watered down (which is great) so you don't necessarily need water to take them with.

This, like the other Mountain House Ice Cream, was awesome. Each flavor had an individual taste that was actually really good. It put a smile on my face after a long 16 mile day carrying 35 lbs :)

I love this water bottle and acutally have like 4 or 5 of them. Comfortable, carries 20 oz., has a handy pack on the side (fit in keys or maybe a gel), but I didn't give it a 5 star because I was out the other day on a run and went to take a sip and the entire top came off (plastic and rubbery top). I like the bottles and will continue to buy them assuming that this was a 1 time problem

I love these socks and will definitely be hooked on them for life. I have run probably 20+ marathons in them and do not get blisters anymore! However, they do wear out relatively quick. They are an expensive sock (especially for wearing out relatively quickly), but wouldn't run another ultra without them!

I always bring beef stroganoff on my backpacking trips. If for some strange reason I don't eat the meal while out on a trip, it is always a thrill cooking it in the luxury of my apartment :)

I remember buying this thinking that there was a strong possibility that it would be nasty but after 5 days on the trail and a big meal, this really really hit the spot. I'll definitely buy this again!

Along with the Mountain House Beef Stroganoff, I usually take a MH Rice and Chicken with me on trips. While the "1 serving" package isn't enough IMHO, it was a nice compliment to a side of vegetables. Easy to cook and very light.

Carbbooms definitely get the job done - filled with energy and helped propel me to a 3:19 marathon. However, I like the tasete better of say a hammer gel or a gu during the last few miles of a race. Rather than that, carbooms are great.

I had Gus years ago and didn't like the taste of them. I gave them another shot about 6 months ago and have been hooked - the triberry is excellent, and the lemon sublime tastes like lemon filling from a pastry from Dunkin Donuts. Mmmmmmmm - I look forward to eating Gus during a race now!

Not a fan - I filled up a bottle with this stuff at a 50K in WV last summer and could not down the stuff. I heard some people who love it (and I love the hammer gels) but I didn't like this at all!

I first tasted this in the Snickers Marathon in south Georgia. As it was the only sports drink on the course, I was "forced" to drink it. It was damn tasty!!! It tastes like candy (but not too sweet to make you sick!)

I am a huge fan of spagetti and I think this is as good as it will get to eating spagetti on the trail. Granted it doesn't taste as great as the Italian restaurant down the street, it's pretty darn good

I either bring oatmeal or a MH breakfast with me when out on the trail - it provides a good kick and tastes homemade IMO

This tent is awesome - cannot be happier with the choice I made. Simple to put together, very very light, and quite roomy for a single tent (granted I am only 5'4"). HIGHLY recommended!

Never had a problem with it - works great, even in wet weather. Very happy.

Love the headlamp - use it for running at night on the trail and camping - have had it for a few years and have never had to replace anything but batteries :)
