I agree completely. We were them for all non-fire activity at my agency. I can speak for their durability. The key word is rip-stop.

And these are lighter than a lot of the heavy canvas...

I had to read this entire thread because it reminded me of my first sighting of the entire vessel of the fairer species. I was about 12 years old and hiking in a county park. As I cleared the brush...

Whatever you do, make peace with it. It's your name, and like someone said before...... names have power I would add: especially the ones you give yourself

And accept that no matter what you...

That does add an insight I was not aware of. Thanks JT

4Shot,

I totally agree with your original post. The pre-review is everywhere, not just camping. I went to order some new Martial Arts gear (including a new sword) a while back. And since it had...

Hmmm I am probably closer to the Doomsday prepper than most, but that's because I work in disaster response, and live in hurricane central. So we have extra supplies for when things go sideways. ...

Sorry if I misread. I have been on so many sites where cheap shots were taken, I just fell right into it. ;)

I just renewed mine for like $12.00. Wish I had seen the $5 link sooner. I haven't had it in a while, and folks have said it has become one big advertisement. I am hoping it is still worth...

Before we assume someone "chose" a cocky sounding name, remember sometimes the names find us. I used to do competitive martial arts, and towards the end I would joke about not being "bullet proof"...

I am really not a fan of renting. If she hates it, then yes, she didn't blow a lot of money. But, she has nothing to show for her money she did spend.

If she LOVES it, then she is at zero gear...

I was going by mine long before I checked into the AT. It started as an agency designator/ call-sign, and became my nickname with other groups. So I didn't go with it for fad's sake, but more for...

I did a kayak trip a couple weeks ago and was so happy to find so many yums. (I think I posted about it already)

But one of my favorites is yellow wood sorrel. I eat a tiny bite as a palate...

Not sure of an app, but there is a great site- www.eattheweeds.com also, Demeter is a member here who knows tons. *She just put up a thread today with a youtube on her recent finds.

I know a...

Very cool. It's neat to see what is popping up for you.

Keep this up! I love it!

Here is one I LOVE Owl. http://www.alpsmountaineering.com/ They have several brands they own, including the Browning camping line.

I have had a chance to order buckles from them to do a diy...

I have been looking for something like this. Thanks for the post.

I also bought a "hiker/biker" tent (their name for it) from them years ago for $20 and it weighs about 3lbs. I have used it all over the country on deployments and it has held up very well.

Here I go singing the praises of Walmart.............

Sawyer mini water filter- $20
2lb 32degree sleeping bag- $40
Internal frame pack by Outdoor 3lbs- $40...

I have had great results with these. I replaced some buckles on a rifle strap even, and it has handled the weight and the stress of bush-whacking very well.

I know Walmart sources low end stuff,...

Remember an episode of Man Woman Wild where Mykel Hawke did surviving a "wildfire"? This is a topic I am very qualified in. I wrote a critique about some very questionable advise he gave, and he...

+1 for primitive on the State Forest. The State Forests are usually more flexible, and less expensive than state parks. (just my experience YMMV)

Ummm I think you missed a few "boom ouches" followed by a "oh mommy mommy, oh oh mommy" as he dragged himself to the road. But otherwise a very astute accounting of the incident.

Thanks Mags, I had been on their page once before, but don't remember if I took the time to really look at it, or if I was in a hurry searching a specific topic. I will definately look them over.

So what is out there that is better? If you say outside magazine, I will literally spew.

and why it was important that momma didn't take it away.
