Canvas Sewing Kit Review

Canvas Sewing KitI ordered a canvas sewing kit, thinking I was getting a kit to sew tears in canvas. Instead, I got a kit in a canvas pouch to sew tears in ordinary fabrics. It would be helpful if this product were labelled more carefully.

Katadyn Quick Fill Hydration Adaptor Accessory Review

Katadyn Quick Fill Hydration Adaptor AccessoryThis is essentially a set of 3 bits for insertion into water tubing, a male/female set of blue bits for insertion into 1/4" tubign and a solitary white insert meant for use with some types of hydration bladder.

The blue bits allow you to set up a quick-disconnect attachment between any 1/4" diameter tubing, such as the tubes that come with the Katadyn water filters or the drinking tube on a Camelbak. For example, I have a Katadyn Hiker Pro that already has quick-disconnect fittings.The Hike Pro already comes with a set of these bits that I set up to a Nalgene bottle adapter, allowing me to fill bottles directly and detach the adapter to keep it clean. When I purchased this additional set I cut off the bite valve to my Camelbak and inserted the male end on the stub attached to the bite valve and put the female end on the bit of drink tube connected to the bladder. This allows me to disconnect the bite valve and connect the water filter so I can fill the bladder directly through the drinking tube.

These bits really enable you to connect a lot of different things to your water filter, making it a bit more flexible and convenient to use. It's a lot easier to fill up my Camelbak, for example, since I don't have to take my backpack off or open up the bladder to pour water in.

Sierra Designs Women's-Solar Flare 5-Degree 600 Fill Down Sleeping Bag Review

Sierra Designs Women's-Solar Flare 5-Degree 600 Fill Down Sleeping BagJust received the bag and am very happy with it.I bought it for my wife because we're going camping in Yosemite in the spring and it's going to be cold at night.I actually bought the Women's Large for her so that I could use it to when she doesn't go camping with myself and the boys.The bag is constructed very well and has plenty of loft.The shape seems to be more universal than women specific in my opinion.The women's large fits to 5'-11" and I'm 6'-0" and it fit me fine.The interior fabric is very soft for nylon and the outer shell can repel water quite well.I also own a Big Agnes Deep Creek weatherproof bag and the construction of the Sierra Designs is pretty comparable. My Big Agnes bag has 800 fill down while the Solar Flare has 600 Fill down both are good fill in my opinion, you really pay a premium for fill that is over 600. The Solar Flare hood is nice and the full length zipper works better than any bag I have.All of my bags are down filled because I prefer the pillowy loft and the compact size.The color of the Solar Flare is a deep purple with charcoal back.Construction on the bag is top notch and well detailed.This is the last bag she'll ever need.Buy right the first time and you won't need to buy again.

Product Description:
Never fear frosty nights again with the Solar Flare women's-specific three-season sleeping bag. Warm to 5 degrees F, the Solar Flare features 600-fill goose down insulation, a natural renewable insulation that provides a higher warmth-to-weight ratio than other materials. As a result, the bag is not only warm, but also extremely compressible and lightweight. To prevent the fill from getting wet, Sierra added a Drizone waterproof/breathable shell, which allows moisture to escape from the bag while keeping water and dew out. This is a crucial feature for goose down bags, which perform poorly when damp. And thanks to the continuous baffling, the down spreads evenly across your bag to eliminate cold spots. Other features include a draft collar, an ergonomic hood and foot box (the latter with microfleece lining), and tuck stitch construction. The Solar Flare is available in regular and long sizes.
About Women's-Specific Bags
Sierra Designs was the first company to recognize that sleeping bags should be designed differently for women. The average man is 6 feet tall, but the average woman is 5 feet 4 inches tall. In addition, both the body proportions and metabolic rates of men and women vary significantly. In response, Sierra sizes its women's bags smaller so that women are not carrying additional weight and don't have to heat up more air space in a larger bag. Sierra's women's sleeping bags are also designed with narrower shoulders, wider hips, and increased insulation in the torso and foot box. The company's first women's-specific bags, the Calamity Jane and Annie Oakley, were released in 1995.

Katadyn Drip (Ceradyn) Water Filter (Spring 2010) Review

Katadyn Drip Water FilterI have used the Ceradyn Water Filter in Ghana, West Africa for the past seven years. It has performed very well, filtering up to 3 gallons a day. I clean it periodically with a moderately abrasive pad. Green algae grows on the filter after the top-fill container drains into the lower one. It cleans up well and I have added a little chlorine at times to cut down the problem.
People who are considering such long time use of a water filter should not purchase the Gravidyn Water Filter because the effective life span of the central charcoal core is only six months. When I call Katadyn about its effectiveness past six months, they warned me that the charcoal core could develop mold after that time and is impossible to clean effectively. So I am purchasing a new Ceradyn filter for our up-coming work in Liberia.

Hennessy Snakeskins #3 Review

Hennessy Snakeskins #3If you have a Hennessy hammock or other bundled hammocks this is an indispensable piece of gear. It cuts setup and take down time in half. Which is a pretty amazing feat since setup is already simple. I am able to roll up the hammock, rainfly, and even stash the tent stakes inside of the snakeskin. I wrap the treehuggers and excess rope tightly around the whole thing making it an extremely compact lightweight sleeping unit.

The best part is the snakeskins are waterproof so you can wrap it around your pack or hook it to the outside and not worry about it getting wet.

Also was towing a duck decoy container with more supplies. This thing will get a lot of use this duck hunting season.

We drove through several driving rainstorms but everything stayed dry.It was easy to wipe any accumulated bugs and dirt off later and store.I was very pleased!Be sure to use the little clips to secure the loose ends of the straps or else they make an annoying flapping sound.

Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest Hammock Review

Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest HammockUPDATE:I ended up purchase the Grand Trunk ultralight single hammocks for my two sons, so was able to actually compare the ENO with the Grand Trunk brands.

The ENO is definitely a thicker material - parachute nylon - while the Grand Trunk hammock are made a very thin nylon material.But for a hot/humid climate like Texas, the Grand Trunk hammocks outperformed the ENO hammock this weekend (May) while camping. The GT hammocks allowed the breeze to circulate, and actually keeps you quite a bit cooler.I think the ENO hammock will be better in the cooler times of the year, but for the summer - and for this price - the GT is a winner.

Also, if you are planning to purchase the "Slap Straps Pro" as I previously recommended - be wary that the tag states that they are for a weight max. of 200 lbs and does not tell whether this is per strap, or for the two straps combined (although the ENO hammock is rated for 400 lbs).If I had noticed this before I purchased, I would have contacted the manufacturer for clarification.

I debated between this and the Grand Trunk Double Hammock that was about $40 compared to ENO at $58.The ENO hammock has very good quality caribiners, unlike a lot of hammocks which have S-hooks (although I am sure you could purchase your own caribiners or higher quality S-hooks).Also, the ENO hammock is supposed to be able to hold up to 400 lbs, compared to most other hammocks which state 300 lbs.The hammock appears very durable and strong, and we have actually had it in the rain, and it dries very quickly.

The only Cons I saw compared to the GT hammock is that the ENO hammocks only carry a two year warranty, compared to GT's 10 year warranty.However, the ENO hammock quality appears superior.Also, note that the double hammock is very wide compared to a single hammock, so it takes a little bit of getting used to all the room you have :)(the extra material can actually "cover" you like a light blanket).

If you camp a lot and can spring for the Eagle's Nest Outfitters "slap straps pro" which are around $20-$25 - you won't regret it.They make putting this hammock up super-easy and super-fast.They are thin, lightweight, but super strong.They are also easier on tree-bark compared to plain rope.On that note, this hammock DOES NOT HAVE ROPE ATTACHED.So make sure you have some on hand, or buy the "slap straps".

The DoubleNest seats more than one person comfortably and is essential for family adventures. The DoubleNest still packs down to the size of a grapefruit, so there is no excuse to be without your ENO hammock.

Coleman Hibernation 40-Degree Rectangular Queen Size Sleeping Bag (Black) Review

Coleman Hibernation 40-Degree Rectangular Queen Size Sleeping BagThe price was excellent. I compared to many websites and local stores, this was by far the best value. The size is huge. My wife and I share and have plenty of room. I am 6' and 240 lbs so I needed width and height. This fits the bill perfect! We also wanted cloth exterior, not poly. Although poly is water proof it also is loud everytime you move and I sweat more in a poly sleeping bag.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Coleman Hibernation 40-Degree Rectangular Queen Size Sleeping Bag (Black)

Product Description:
Stay warm and comfortable on a pleasant fall evening with the Coleman Hibernation queen-size sleeping bag. The Hibernation, which offers a temperature rating down to 40 degrees F, is filled with 6 pounds of Coletherm insulation. This allows for a greater loft--a measure of the amount of space the insulation occupies and the amount of air the insulation can trap. The insulation's hollow-core fibers work by creating pockets of air that serve as an extra barrier between the sleeper and the environment, thereby maximizing thermal efficiency and keeping the camper snug. Another barrier between a warm camper and the chill of the night is the fabric used in the covers and liners of the bag. The Hibernation features a 100-percent cotton cover and a cozy cotton flannel liner, highly durable materials that function well under diverse conditions. Cotton is hard wearing yet soft, and is appealing to the touch.


Coleman's ComfortSmart technology includes such features as a ThermoLock zipper, a Comfort Cuff, and a ZipPlow tool. Coleman's ComfortSmart Technology
The best way to relax after a big day of camping adventures is to wrap up in a warm sleeping bag and drift off to peaceful sleep. Coleman is so committed to making sure you have reliable and cozy bedding that it backs its Hibernation sleeping bag with its ComfortSmart guarantee--a promise that the bag will deliver all-night comfort. Coleman can make this promise thanks to its third-party, scientifically tested temperature ratings; engineering features that promote thermal efficiency and durability; and the creation of different bag sizes to ensure a comfortable fit.
Coleman developed a number of warmth-enhancing features for its ComfortSmart system. The FiberLock insulation tailoring, for example, is designed to prevent insulation from shifting in the bag and developing thin or cold spots. By keeping the insulation in place, Coleman also lengthens the life of the bag. The ThermoLock feature contributes by reducing heat loss (and cold seepage) through zipper coils. This sets up an additional insulating barrier to stand guard along the length of the zipper, ensuring that the snug feeling campers get when zipping up the bag stays with them through the night. Coleman also added such features as a ZipPlow zipper tool that prevents zipper snags by channeling fabric away from the zipper coils; Zipper Glide tailoring, which makes it silky smooth to zip the bag at the corners; a Comfort Cuff that surrounds your face with softness; a Roll Control function that locks the bag in place for easier rolling; and a Quick Cord for an easy, no-tie closure.
Sizing
The Hibernation is a queen-size sleeping bag, with dimensions of 75 by 66 inches. As a result, the bag sleeps two people at once, or you can separate the top and bottom and create two separate sleeping bags. Designed to fit people under 6-feet tall, the Hibernation is machine washable and carries a five-year warranty.
About Coleman
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.
In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.

Sleep Well: Finding the Right Sleeping Bag
Sleeping bag technology has come a long way from the days of cowboy bedrolls. These days, there are a number of high-tech materials and designs available to keep you warm during the coldest outings. Here's a short list of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for a bag:
Buy for Cold
It's a safe bet that on at least one of your adventures, the nighttime temperature will drop unexpectedly. That's why it's smart to buy a bag that's rated for the lowest possible temperature you expect to face on your camping and backpacking trips. For summer trips, a bag rated at +35 degrees F or higher will likely do the trick. If you like to camp in higher elevations in the summer, or if spring and fall outings are in your future, consider bags rated from +10 to +35 degrees F. Winter adventurers should look for bags in the -10 to +10 degrees F range, while those on serious winter alpine climbs and expeditions will want a bag rated lower than -10 degrees F.
Keep in mind that sleeping bag manufacturers' temperature ratings only estimate the minimum temperature at which the bag will provide warmth. Take these numbers with a grain of salt, as different folks generate different amounts of heat when they sleep. If you're the type who likes to pile on the covers even on warmer nights, go for a bag that's rated 10 degrees colder. The opposite is true for "warm" sleepers--a 35-degree bag will probably work for you on a 25-degree night.
Goose or No Goose?
The most important component of any sleeping bag is its insulating material. Modern sleeping bags offer two choices: goose down or synthetic. While both materials have advantages and disadvantages, down bags are considered superior because of their phenomenal warmth-to-weight and warmth-to-bulk ratios. While providing great insulation, down is extremely compressible and light. There's a reason why geese can fly and stay warm through the winter. Down also boasts great long-term durability and will typically retain its insulating properties after years of use.
All of that said, there are many high-quality synthetic bags on the market, and synthetic materials are getting better all the time. While a synthetic bag will weigh somewhat more than a down bag at an equivalent temperature rating, synthetic bags perform better when wet. (Yes, the Achilles heel of down is that it loses all insulating properties when wet.) If your trips take you to wet climates, you may want to consider a synthetic bag for this reason alone. Keep in mind, too, that many people are allergic to down, while synthetic bags are non-allergenic. Finally, down is considerably more expensive than synthetic, which might tip the balance for adventurers on a budget.
Bags for All Shapes
Sleeping bags come in two basic shapes that reflect their intended use. Mummy-shaped bags offer the best warmth because they conform to the body's contours. This minimizes the amount of body heat the body must put out to maintain a constant temperature. Many mummy bags are offered in women-specific shapes and sizes, as well. Rectangular bags, while they do offer more room to toss and turn, are less thermally efficient because they contain more open air space. Also, they are typically heavier than mummy bags, and are generally not offered with down insulation, making them best suited for car camping or short backpacking trips.
Pad Yourself
No matter what kind of bag you choose, a sleeping pad is a required accessory. Not only do they provide much-needed comfort when sleeping on the ground, pads also offer crucial warmth for your backside, as the weight of your body compresses--and renders virtually useless--the sleeping bag insulation that lies beneath you.

Rio Sports Wonder Wheeler Review

Rio Sports Wonder WheelerBought this for our trips to the Texas coast. We have to haul our stuff down a long boardwalk (quarter mile) and then maybe 100 feet of beach.The first wheel fell off in the sand at the beach. I tried to nurse it back but the other wheel came off at the first turn in the boardwalk.

You might think I overloaded it. But you would be wrong. I had a beach bag, a bag of plastic sand toys, two beach chairs and towels. Not much.

Not sure what the problem was but the plastic wheels sheered off at the hub.

Kelty Deluxe Carport Review

Kelty Deluxe CarportI have a 2000 Honda Odyssey that is big enough for my wife and I to sleep in while camping, but not big enough to store all our camping gear at the same time.So, when I came across the Carport Deluxe in a catalog I knew I had found the answer to our problem.It was *perfect* on our first outing.At night we'd keep it down with all our gear inside the shelter and there was still tons of room (this thing is HUGE) for changing, or reading, or eating dinner, etc.During the day we'd put it up as an awning and it was great for shade (once again, it is much bigger than we expected, but that is a *good* thing).We've also used it for tailgate parties at Anaheim Stadium, and it can be used separate from the van as a shelter at the beach.It has performed perfectly for it's purpose.

Kelty Noahs Tarp Review

Kelty Noahs TarpI am an avid canoe camper and have been using various sizes of Keltys' Noahs tarps for years. They are versatile and seemingly bulletproof. I have had my 12' model in winds in excess of 45MPH and it fared extremely well. This is an upgrade to a larger model for me- I normally set two tarps in addidtion to my tent, one as a kitchen and the other as a viewspace- this will take over kitchen duty.

Paha Que 12 x 12 Screen Room Review

Paha Que 12 x 12 Screen RoomWe have owned two Eureka Screen Rooms, and friends have the latest Eureka Northern Breeze.This beats them all hands down.The attention to detail (straps to help pack the rolled up room, extra reinforcements at every stress point, a built in bag for the stakes, sewn-in instructions) and the quality of construction are exceptional.It definitely takes two people to set it up, but this is worth the price.

About Paha Que
Paha Que Wilderness Inc. is a young and innovative company that makes high-quality family camping tents. Campers love them, but when they first see the name in print, they pause and wonder just how to pronounce it and try to understand its meaning. You won't find it in any dictionary and there have been debates amongst linguists about its derivation. According to the legend behind the term, Paha Que is the Southwest Indian version of "Aloha." Paha Que takes it to mean "happy trails." It can mean hello, good-bye, how are you, have a good day, and more. Perhaps a variation on the Spanish phrase Que Pasa? The people at Paha Que learned it from a local rancher friend whose grandpa learned it from local Indians. It boils down to the fact that the name is surely different, and appropriately so because these tents are very different from ordinary tents.

Nalgene ATB All-Terrain Bottle 22 Oz with Black Lid Review

Nalgene ATB All-Terrain Bottle 22 Oz with Black LidI picked up two of these about 4 years ago and have been using them several times a month.Kids take it to games and practice and they've been kicked around a dugout quite a bit with no damage.I decided that I'd get a few more and keep them filled up in the fridge and my kids are drinking more water and we never buy bottled water anymore.The wide mouth at the opening makes them easier to clean than some water bottles.Very happy with these.

Vargo Titanium Ti-Lite Mug Review

Vargo Titanium Ti-Lite MugOther than the finish (which cries out to be enameled candy-apple red), this is a perfect camp mug, or little pot. It'll cook up a pack and a half of ramen, is about the size, and feels stout as anything. Haven't tried to run it over, but have cooked in it (over the little Triad stove, for which it is a perfect match). It cleans easily, and leaves no trace of the reheating, or the cream of mushroom soup I burned to the bottom of it. It's a mug, it's a pot, it does both things well. The handles are a little skinny, especially if you fill the mug with coffee and have only a semi-firm handshake, but I mention this only for folks who plan on using this every day and have soft little hands.

The Original Umbrella Stand - Use Anywhere, Sand or Grass, Easy to Use, Color is Navy Blue with Thumbscrews Review

The Original Umbrella Stand - Use Anywhere, Sand or Grass, Easy to Use, Color is Navy Blue with ThumbscrewsSometimes the simplest solutions are the best ones. I saw a friend using one of these at our kids' soccer game, and ordered my own. This makes anchoring your umbrella in the ground trivially easy, and has both vertical and angled holders for different times of day, or to have 2 umbrellas at once. The fact that there are 2 stakes makes it stable, and the fact that you can step on it to drive it into the ground is a little stroke of genius. It works very well on grassy fields regardless of dry/wet/hard/soft issues. I haven't tried it out on sand yet, but I would think it would require firm sand to work well. It is very sturdy and I expect that my son will be using it to watch his son play soccer some day.

I was satisfied with what I paid on Amazon, given the ease of ordering and quick shipping, but have since seen it cheaper at a local hardware store.

Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor Review

Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate MonitorI like this thing quite a lot. I've had it for about three weeks, and have used it on 12 workouts so far.I use it primarily for running, with biking a secondary usage.The main reason I wanted it was for the instantaneous readout of distance, running pace and heart rate, the latter needed for the speed work I want to do this running season.

The core functionality (distance and heart rate monitoring) works perfectly.There's none of the signal drops I've had with other heart monitors.Once the satellites are initially acquired, I've only had one dropout when I was outside.The initial acquisition of the satellites can be quirky and can take some time. The accuracy (according to the readout) is +/- 25ft, depending on how many satellites can be found.I've compared the distance measurement on the GPS with a known, measured distance on one of the trails I run on (the Chicago lakefront path).The GPS always increments a mile when I'm within 5 or 10 feet of the mile marker sign on the path.Well, I guess that's the least I should expect from a $350 GPS unit! Of course it's bigger than a normal running stopwatch, but that hasn't bothered me at all.The heart rate strap is also very comfortable and well-designed.

The display is crisp and has one outstanding feature: The information presented on the various pages can be completely user-customized.The default screen layout is rather poor, but in just a few steps I could replace it with the information I wanted to see while I run.There are almost 40 different data fields you can choose from for display. Examples: current pace, average lap pace, average run pace, heartrate, distance.

The only disappointment is the point-in-time (instantaneous) pace measurement: It varies wildly during a run.I see swings as big as +/-3 minutes/mile.I'm a marathoner and I know my pace is fairly consistent during a run.I just looked at my run today, and according to the data the first mile varied from 5:57/mile to 12:06 mile. I suspect the problem is either in the averaging algorithm (too short a distance?), or in the uncertainty that results from different satellites coming in and out of view.The variations seem to get worse under tree cover compared with an open area.Luckily there's a lap-average pace that can be presented, and at least that value is useful and more accurate.The bottom line is that you can't look at the watch and say "right now I'm running 9 mins/mile". There is the ability to specify a pace smoothing factor, but I have it maxed out and still see the variations.The elevation readout also seems inaccurate, but that isn't important to me.

Upload of workout data to the PC software (Training Center) is transparent.The PC software is very good for presenting time/distance/pace/heartrate/calorie data.However the maps it shows are very crude.I've worked a bit with one of the online, subscription services (MotionBased).That looks really good and provides some additional functionality beyond the included Training Center software, although I still haven't decided if it's worth the $$$ yet for long-term data storage.MotionBased allows export to Google Earth, and it's tremendously cool to see your running path superimposed on a satellite image.You can recharge the unit through the USB port on your computer, although it's slower than using the dedicated recharger.

I had hoped that owning this device would prove motivational for me, and indeed it has.I can't imagine running or biking without it. Updating my training log is trivial now: Plug this thing into my computer, and it's done.My hope is that a future software update will do something about the pace calculation (maybe a few additional levels of smoothing?).If so, the Forerunner 305 would earn 5 stars+++.Positives:

Flawless heart rate sampling
Great distance measuring and lap-average pace calculation
Seamless integration with a PC
Fully-automatic training log update
User-customizable displayNegatives;

Wildly-varying pace readout.

Yellowstone Review

Yellowstonenot a completely bad product if you dont care about other tents out there that could be much more satisfying. For a two person it had enough room but it is not free standing meaning you need to hammer in the stakes in order for it to set up, the stakes are cheap and would probably bend after being used a couple times, and the fabric isnt all that great either. I didnt actually use it. I returned it because it wasnt ideal for backpacking. If you want to spend money on a tent for 2 buy the big agnes tents. Expensive, but pro status. oh yeah and the poles on the tent were the only nice thing about it. All packed up its about two feet across which would stick out to wide on a pack.

Minn Kota® 55 Power - Drive™ V2 / AutoPilot™ Bow Mount 12V Trolling Motor Review

Minn Kota® 55 Power - Drive™ V2 / AutoPilot™ Bow Mount 12V Trolling MotorI got this motor under recommendation from a family member who is a professional fisherman. I also added a not included copilot, which uses a hand transmitter rather than the wired foot pedal that comes with it.This combination really works well, much better than I expected, as it doesn't hunt a lot to keep on course you set. People I have taken out on my boat have commented what a joy it is to fish with and have been impressed with the overall ease of operation and lack of clutter on the deck. If you are looking to troll for your fish look no further than a Powerdrive V2 with an autopilot and also add on a copilot- you will be happy.

Nathan Elite 1 Plus Angled 22-Ounce Waist Pack with 5-Ounce Nutrition Flask Review

Nathan Elite 1 Plus Angled 22-Ounce Waist Pack with 5-Ounce Nutrition FlaskI've had this piece now for about two years.I bought it just before a 1/2 marathon and did not use it much prior to that.I became frustrated with it then, as I was not used to it.
However, I walk 4-6 miles/day with my dogs, and it is very useful on these walks for a little hydration.I take out the small bottle and put my MP3 in.The walking does not bounce it quite so much, therefore it does not get loose as quickly.
For running, I use this up to about six miles.After that, I'm out of water.Also, in running, it tends to come loose as you go with a full bottle, which sometimes requires you to readjust it.Not a big deal, but if you are a FAST & SERIOUS runner -- unlike me -- I can see how this might bother you.
For the slipping part, I use two cheap velcro wraps just in front of the buckle around the straps.It provides just enough friction to keep them from slipping too quickly.But again, in running, the bounce with a full bottle tends to loosen it more quickly.
Gel bottle is great, but by the time I need the gel, I'm out of water, and then just carrying gel.I'd recommend buying a gel only pack for longer runs if there is water on the course.

About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company. Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves.
In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60 year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign. In 1998 the company went public, and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.

Hammock Bliss Single Portable Hammock Review

Hammock Bliss Single Portable HammockMy husband experienced hammock envy on a recent camping trip in the Black Hills of SD.After some net surfing I found a great deal on Amazon.com for a Hammock Bliss. I figured I couldn't lose on a deal like that. In using it at home, I found it to be more comfortable than our rope style hammock.The amount of material is strong and generous. I can almost wrap myself up like a mummy to keep the flying nasties off of me.Recently, I tried it camping. Looking for the right trees was the hardest part.But, it worked well without the use of tree straps thanks to the strong cords.My only difficulty with HB was getting out of it.Chalk that up to maybe age and weight.However, I used my canoe paddle as a stretcher bar and was able to gracefully eject myself out of the Bliss.Basic three word summary, PORTable, COMFORTable and AFFORDable.
