    I found out about The Keeper in 2000 and the Pstyle in 2012. Both of these low-tech innovations for women have had a dramatic and positive effect on my life.:banana

    I usually have a fly in my hiking pants; so I can still easily leave my pack on by just unzipping. When I wear shorts with no fly, I leave my pack on but undo my hipbelt. I then lower the pants...

    A nice all around pocket-sized camera is the Canon SX260. It has a good cmos sensor and a 20X optical zoom. Its picture quality isn't rated as high as the S110, but it's much less expensive and has...
