I'm with Don on this one. Get a boonie hat. The cotton wears out quicker than the NYCO (nylon cotton blend) and is water resistant. I have had a few and have no complaints. even with no sunscreen on...

Any one with good/bad expirience. I have never read anything bad about it. Can anyone tell me about it as I am considering buying it(yes I am aware that the dancing light gear tents are lighter but I...
Two reasons for soot: 1. isopropanol has more carbon than methanol/ethanol
2. It creates a rich mix when burnt in a stove meant for ethanol
you might be able to find a aluminium water bottle that would be the same thing only food safe. When I got my MSR bottle it kinda stunk when I opened it washing might take care of the stink but never...
what do you mean by area to cook? Is it just like an overhang of sorts? Seems like a good tent. Do you by chance know humidity of where you got bad condensation as I tend to hike in fairly arid...
depends. White gas stoves are heavy,expensive, and have lots of parts to break. However, they heat like rokets and can simmer for extended periods of time.
Alcohol stoves are real light, simple to...
I looked at both the europas and the 242 and I have a few questions.
How does the europa handle in wind as compared with 242? How it handles is very important to me. is the europa II that much...
If you use a bag for your pot that has a drawstring, tie the P38 on it. I have never worn one out, but have lost several. I've broken several can openers on knives, but the knives were not good...
I have had a field jacket for over 5 years and I also have to say that the trigger finger mittens are the warmest gloves I have ever had. I have heard that the finger that is not used for shooting is...
you could try making a wire hoop, that fit your cup with some kind of handle to push down on, and stretch noseeum mesh over it for a light coffee press. Although I don't know how the mesh would hold...
Mixed up a couple batches and we burned them. burned for a really long time, but like you said it left soot, but not as much as plain trioxane. Stuff looks like air plane toilet stuff when its...
I got one but I will probally make my own with the help of my brother who will probally put in five or six bulbs, variable numbers of bulbs on at a time and other excessive things but I'm not gonna...
I will use titainium(just got it), but I had been using a 1 quart pot from Kmart. I like the titainium cause it has folding handles and is larger (1.3 ltr) yet much lighter.
One thing about...
that is true it is called the poor mans napalm:D That is how I got the idea for the hot and cold water baths because I had heard that too. I'm gonna mix up a batch today. By the way we got some neat...
I did an expirement last summer. If you want the details here they are.
I took some ( can't remember how much) alcohol and a bar of trioxane and gelled them together. I was just fooling with the...
thanks, how does it work- does it look like a strobe light? I got a brother who tinkers with electronics so he can probally help me out. This was actually his idea that he came up with when I showed...
I got an idea about putting an ossilator in a home made LED headlamp so it would blink extremely fast and there by saving battery power. I know that it would have to go REEEEEEEAL fast to give it...
Where did you get the tyvek??? I've been looking for some for a while and how does its durability compare to that of silnylon.
I make my gear cause it is cheap,fun and I can custumize any thing I want. the stoves are my speciallity because I trust my work in the shop more than my sewing abillity or rather the lack there of....
you're right on having too rich a mixture. The reason for all the soot is because of the extra carbon atoms in isopropanol that when the iso is not burnt completly collect on the pot. The...
