Globe Skimmer Ultrlt Trp 10X12 Review

It's a mixed blessing. I bought it instead of a one man tent, b/c I wanted:
to save weight
to save $
and I heard tarps are all the rage in ultralight backpacking nowadays.
I spent loads of time online researching various ways to set it up. Using 2 trekpoles, rigging as a tarp tent w/ one trekpole, rigging it between 2 trees using a paracord roofline. Foul weather rigging etc...

I've taken it out overnighting now 4 - 6 times. 1/2 of the time it withstood rain very well b/c I was able to rig it well. The other 1/2 of the time...I would not have wanted to be there if it was raining. I've also yet to encounter serious winds....this scares me, especially if you can't stake it well.

Sometimes it has taken me 1/2 hour ,or more ,to get it rigged well enough to feel confident in it. Sometimes I was able to do it in 5 -10 minutes. It all depends on how much room you have, are there boulders that prevent you from staking where you need to? Are the trees close enough? etc...if the soil is rocky, you better hope you have some trees...that's an argument for something w/ poles instead. At least you can set up a tent without stakes if you must...

So, it can be both fun/creative to set up, and be frustrating. Better hope it isn't raining and windy when it is time to set it up! And by the time I added some $15 mosquito netting and a $15 cheapo survival bivy bag/ground cloth, I was inching towards the weight and cost of a quality ultralight $$$ one man tent , quality bivy bag, or quality one man poncho tent. Had I had another $100 or more to spend, I would've gone w/ an ultralight $$$ one man tent, $$$ bivy or $$ poncho tent.

But , for the $ I saved at the time, and the brainpower I've used rigging it, it has been worth it.

Plus I've learned all kinds of new knots! Go to [...] for rigging and knot videos. Also youtube etowah8x10 tarp set up for the easiest fair weather tarptent . see adventure alan for more on ultralight backpacking.

Eagles Nest Outfitters FastFly Raintarp Review

This is my second rainfly purchase from ENO. The stitching and seems hold up well, the tightening system is ingenious, and will stand up to years of use. The only reason it's not five stars is because it's a little heavier than I'd hoped for.

Princeton Tec Fuel Headlamp Review

I have owned this light for about 4 months, and have really liked having it. I ordered it because it had high ratings on REI's website, and it looked sturdy (I really dislike headlamps that lose the ability to stay pointed the direction you set them at). I have used it to ride my bike in the dark, hike, and read books after my wife goes to bed. It works great for all applications. The pivot works great, and doesn't show any signs of losing its grip. The different light settings are great for different situations. The Fuel is inexpensive, but worth the money. I even saw a review of the Tactikka Plus (Petzl) where someone switched and liked this lamp a lot more. This is a great lamp for anyone, and at the price, you could have two for the price of other comparable models. Would recommend to anyone.

Katadyn Mini Ceramic Water Microfilter Review

This mini-Katadyn filter is perfect for what it claims to do.It is very small, light and almost completely self-contained (the hose and filter gauge fit inside the unit, but not the cleaning pad).The down side is that it is very slow and takes quite a bit of pumping to produce filtered water.I like the fact that you can field clean this filter and use it for up to 2,000 Gallons of water!If you are in a hurry or filtering water for a group larger than 2, then you probably don't want this filter, but if you're alone and you don't mind exerting a little effort than this filter is just right.

Nalgene Hydration Accessories Review

This was an OEM replacement for my nalgene bladder and I'm extremely happy with it. I received the one I wanted (even though the picture shows a couple different ones)and yes, it came with an extra magnet. Now I don't have to switch everything between big pack and day pack. I really like the shut-off feature and the magnetic mount. Usually when I'm riding (or hiking,) I just spit out the bite-valve when I'm done drinking and it finds it's own way back to its holder, this is really convenient while riding on the trail.

Grand Trunk Skeeter Beeter Hammock Review

I received this as a gift last year and promptly took it on a 3 day wilderness expedition. When you have to carry everything you could possibly need over 3 days of exploring, weight matters a lot, and this hammock weighs near nothing. You will also appreciate how relaxing it is to not have to deal with uneven/rocky ground that hurts almost as bad a too heavy pack. It is also setup and ready for use in a few minutes... very simple to get camp ready after a long day of hiking and mapping. My only beef with it is that the mesh is not even remotely flame retardant, as a stray ember from our small campfire hit it and burned a 1 inch hole nearly instantly. Nothing that the almighty piece of duct tape couldn't fix, but it would've been a great feature.

Between this and my Katadyn, I'll never hit a trail without it!

Product Description:
There's no better way to ruin a camping trip than to get eaten alive by mosquitoes. Enter the Skeeter Beeter hammock, which is not only light enough to appeal to fast-moving adventurers, but also offers shelter from nature's most unsavory critters. Preserving the same lightweight design as the Ultra-Light Travel Hammock but with an attached no-see-um mosquito net mesh, the hammock is a must for camping trips near lakes or in damp forests. The hammock is made of 100-percent polyester taffeta, with 3x stitching on all stress points.



The Skeeter Beeter's no-see-um mesh keeps mosquitoes out. As a result, the hammock maxes out at 250 pounds--enough for one adult or a couple of kids. In addition, you don't need to sleep with the netting if you find it uncomfortable. Simply flip the hammock onto its backside and it turns into a traditional hammock. The remainder of the time, however, the fine mosquito netting acts as a comfortable cocoon, shielding you from nasty bugs and pesky crawlers.
The Skeeter Beeter comes with an easy overhead net suspension system that sets up in a matter of minutes, along with a free hammock hanging system that includes two 10-foot pieces of pre-knotted hanging rope and attached S-hooks. Other details include a mildew-resistant, quick-dry design and an attached stuff sack for transport. The Skeeter Beeter measures 9.5 by 4.5 feet, weighs 20 ounces, and carries a 10-year warranty.
Key Features:

Weighs 20 ounces
Measures 9.5 feet long by 4.5 feet wide

Nathan HPL #020 2.0 Liter Men's 2-Liter Hydration Race Vest (Flint Grey) Review

I just received this and went right on my scheduled 20 mile run.The pack when full weights about 6lbs, which takes about 1/2 minute off your pace until you get used to it and begin to drink from the pack.I mixed 70oz of Cytomax with Endurolytes powder.The 70oz was enough for the 20 miles, but you will need to tank up again for full marathon.I would recommend filling up 1/2 for best results of weight vs duration depending on your access to water at 15 mile mark.If none is available this does the trick.

The package:
Lots of room for cell phone, drink mix, gu packs, camera, pair of dry socks. Two side pocket in front for quick access for needed items.It also allows you to change layers and store them on pack, which works for cold mornings that get warmer within a few hours of your run.
Pack stays on back without movement, but you will hear the liquid sloshing.I did not chafe on 20 mile run, and straps did not put pressure on shoulders with a thin tech shirt.This would be best for remote trail runs where you are away from any support (7-11, gas stations, fast food)

The fit:
The front has a clip for the hose.I found that it is adjustable and with a few tries was able to get it to stay put.There are two sliding clips on the front that allow for vest to remain comfortable.

The cleanup:
Imixed a mild bleach solution to clean out and dry. There are two holesat top to hang unit for drying.

Katadyn Quick Fill Hydration Adaptor Accessory Review

This 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.

Eagles Nest Outfitters DoubleNest Hammock Review

UPDATE: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 still packs down to the size of a grapefruit, so there is no excuse to be without your ENO hammock.

Softie 3 Merlin, Olive Review

I purchased the Merlin 3 5 years ago and use it for the cool seasons, 40 degrees to 80 degrees. The synthetic material make it too warm for summer and the lightweight make it too light for winter. However, this is the most compact, reasonably priced lightweight mummy bag I have found. It dries well, packs quickly and is highly durable. The stuff sack it came well is also a water proof compression bag.

Several minor complaints: (1) the zipper will stick if you are not conscientious; (2) the bag is rated to 32 degrees Fahrenheit but is not comfortable without being supplemented below 40 degrees; and, (3) while not narrow, the bag is not designed for broad shouldered people.

These aside, I highly recommend the Merlin 3 for temperate hikes and frequent enjoyment as I have on countless long and short forays into the great wild.

Katadyn Combi Water Microfilter Review

i have had my katadyn combi since 1995 it gives you not only safe drinking water but good tasting with the carbon filter and it's cheaper then the katadyn pocket filter made of plastic but it's really tough. i found if you use a coffee filter on the hose the ceramic filter lasts longer

Click Here to see more reviews about: Katadyn Combi Water Microfilter

Product Description:
The Katadyn Combi Microfilter combines a silver impregnated ceramic element and a refillable, activated carbon cartridge. It is effective against bacteria and protozoa and also reduces chemicals and bad taste. With the optional "PLUS" package, the Combi can be connected to a water faucet for multifunctional use in campers, cottages or boats.
Key Features:

2-stage filter (active carbon, ceramic) not only removes disease-causing agents, but also chemicals and improves the taste of the drinking water
Simple change to 1-stage operation (only ceramic without activated carbon stage) reduces use of active carbon granules and ensures maximum use of capacity
Long lasting and extremely reliable
Tap add-on kit "Plus" offers simple connection to a tap in a kitchen, caravan, camper or boat--the only water filter for both indoor and outdoor use
Cleanable ceramic filter element--also filters very cloudy water
Measuring gauge supplied--indicates when the filter element should be changed

Ceramic filters have a micro porous structure with impregnated silver which delays the growth of bacteria. The pore-size of Katadyn ceramic filters is 0.2 micron (0.0002 mm). Bacteria range in size from 0.2 to 5 micron and, like protozoa (1 to 15 micron), are efficiently filtered out. Ceramic filters can be mechanically regenerated and the filter capacity is measurable.
Activated carbon is used for its ability to reduce harmful organic and inorganic substances in the water. It removes unpleasant tastes, odors, chlorine, pesticides (lindane, DDT) and trihalomethanes (THMs). These substances adhere to the large surface area of the activated carbon. Activated carbon granulate cannot be regenerated.
Specifications:

Technology: 0.2 micron ceramic depth filter and activated carbon
Output: ca. 1 liters/minute
Cartridge Capacity: up to 50,000 l (depending on water quality)
Carbon Capacity: up to 400 l (2 fillings)
Weight: ca. 580 g
Size: 27 x 6 cm (10.6 x 2.4 inches)
Includes: Prefilter, bottle adaptor and carry bag
