I got a couple of years out of the BRS stove. It was tiny and light, amazingly so. Worked fine until it didn't. Not sure I'd bother with it again, as...

Odd Man Out, I’ve hiked around Nepal and the Gokyo Lakes were the best part of the Everest Base Camp circuit. And the Annapurna Circuit was better...

Just a guess but that place is soooo small and cramped inside, they may not be able to be open safely when busy due to Covid. Plenty of camping just...

Literally had a group out this weekend and a backpacker with brand new Zpacks carbon fiber trekking poles had one snap in the parking lot before we...
