The Kupilka 21 has arrived...

[STICK]

Not only is my cup here, but so is my new camera! So, I decided to do another video using my new camera. (So it is kind of like 2 reviews in one...?) Also, I tried using iMovie on my wife's new iMac, so I was able to use some edits and actually do stuff with my movie. (Not sure if that is a good thing or not..)

So, if you are interested in the Kupilka, check it out here on my video:

(Oh and I love the camera. Didn't say that in the video, but it is sweet. And just so ya know, I recorded the video using the WVGA setting rather than the HD. (There are two other settings under WVGA; VGA & QVGA). Anyway, a review of the camera is coming soon.)

my only worry about it is only 8 oucne capacity isn't much.

That was kind of my thinking too, but all I will be using it for will be to either drink coffee from or to measure water for FBC. It will work for me.

Be sure to keep up with Brian's Backpacking & Hiking Blog. He posted that he will be giving one away sometime in the near future.

Just wanted to post an update here:

In my video I mentioned that I mailed a personal check to Michael at Kupilka to pay for my Kupilka 21. The reason that I did this was because it would have cost me $20 to wire the money from my bank account to theirs. Michael got in touch with me via email the other day and informed me that it will cost him 25% of the total amount of the check in order to cash the check over there. The reason I am saying this is because if you are planning on purchasing one of these cups (maybe as a gift on this fine holiday season, huh?) you will need to make sure that you contact them through the email at the Kupilka site to make proper arrangements for payment. And also, rest assured they are looking into having these more readily available in the USA which will make the entire purchasing process somewhat easier. But don't let it stop you at the moment. http://www.backpacker.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
