Sorry, also forgot to mention that weight and packability are not a concern for me. This is more of an every day jacket than a hiking jacket.

The material needs to be durable. I'm not familiar...

Hey guys,

I'm in need of a jacket. It won't be used specifically for hiking, but I know this community knows their gear well.

I am a firearms instructor and outdoors enthusiast, a motorcycle...

I am moving to the Cleveland area soon, and am wondering what is available as far as hiking goes.

Any info would be great.

I don't want a bigger pack.
I understand Mystery Ranch makes a good pack, they are out of my price range. That was in my original post.
I don't want a 'huntng' pack since this gets used as a...

Oh, and tie down straps at the bottom of the pack to haul my sleeping bag and pad. I don't like wasting room inside the pack for those.

Hey guys, I have a very specific set of parameters I am looking for in a pack, and feel this community is probably well suited to help me find one.

I do a lot of hunting, back woods camping, and...

Thanks, I have a figure 9 in my set up. I'm a climber and have a pretty good set of rope skills I think, but the 9's are quite easy.

We were car camping this weekend, and I used a very large poly...

Had a chance to try out my new ENO singlenest and bug net set up this weekend. It was easy and comfortable, kept me dry through a downpour and I didn't have a messy/muddy tent to pack up on the way...

Doesn't bother me a bit. There are local areas that have a collection of rock people use to stack, build walls, statues, etc. Every time I go by it's something different. They aren't hurting...

Did 1lb of beef jerky (uncooked weight) last night for my weekend trip. Came out very good as always.

Knorr sides are my staple woods food. Combined with salmon or tuna in foil, they make awesome meals.

Teriyaki noodles are my favorite.

I carry a Snowpeak 700 ti mug (nested to a nalgene) and...

Not everyone who enjoys the outdoors/hiking is a tree hugger who hates ATV's. There is a time and place for each.

I have both, I'm having problems with the mini (civilian) version.

I will try denatured alcohol and see if that fixes it. If not, I will work to create a different pot stand.

I, too, have...

I've been using a standard Trangia military stove for a while. I purchased the mini kit (with the aluminum bowl, pot stand, fry pan, handle, etc) and the flames from this stove overflow to the sides...

Really? How long is their return period?

I've bought a few boots from them that I like, but it's nice knowing they are easy on returns.

Hmmm...maybe I need another pair of boots? :D

Well the weather is getting to the point that a hearty warm meal on the trail is a wonderful thing.

I am looking to expand my trail cooking past ramen and lipton sides.

I am looking for...

Good then. I should have no concerns cooking my noodles in my AL pot and scraping every last bite out with a ti spork??

:D

I chuckled. :D

I've seen the warnings that uncoated aluminum may be linked to Alzheimer's. How real of a threat is this? It is another blown out of proportion BPA scare, or are there hard facts to prove that using...

7 oz, I cook one meal a day usually, and can do it on less than one oz each.

I have never gone a full week without refilling it, but my math says it's possible.

Thank you. Do you happen to have any pics of this set up?

Other than the items you mentioned, how well did the set up work for you? I'm not looking for a speed attempt at boiling water or...

You must not read very well.

I didn't ask about lightweight (I'm talking about USGI gear for pete's sake) or what you use. I have a lightweight set up.

All I want to know is if the Trangia will...

And for reference, my first line even said I'm still using a canteen and matching gear.

You're assuming I'm not carrying a canteen and assuming I don't already have other pots.

Both assumptions are wrong. Why else would I still be using a canteen cup if I wasn't using a canteen?

I...

I've got one of those, but much prefer the trangia burner. I really like my military one, just trying to justify the cost of buying the civilian model for this one application. If it fits, I will buy...
