The nForm nesting mug and bowl from GSI Outdoors

Outbreak psp is an ingenious cookware system that provides an ultralight and space efficient solution, perfect for camping and backpacking when pack space is at a premium. It’s also not expensive, costing under $9, making it a great value if you’re trying to stretch your money this year.

The mug and bowl can be used separately or together to form an insulated container for drinking hot cocoa or soup. I consider an insulated mug to be essential, particularly in winter, when I want to sip hot chocolate while I’m melting snow at night for drinking water. The sip lid is extra useful in this situation for keeping the contents from spilling and adding more insulation.

Weighing just 3.3 oz  and holding 14 oz of liquid, the mug and bowl are a lot lighter, hold more liquid, and are better insulators than the comparable insulated titanium mugs (which are also 5X as expensive) that I own today.

But while the benefits of this product are impressive for the solo hiker, I think they’re even more impressive if you are hiking in a group because multiple nesting mugs and bowls can themselves nest in a larger cook pot, using a lot less space in your pack.

Gear Review: Eagles Nest Outfitters (ENO) Travel Rag

.!.

travel-ragHave you ever gone camping at a campground and taken a shower only to find that you’ve forgotten to bring a towel? I have, and more than once. Camping towels, like the Travel Rag from Eagle Nest Outfitters, are a convenient item to include in personal care kit so that you’re never caught naked again, and dripping wet.

It doesn’t matter if you are car camping or backpacking, the Travel Rag is a unobtrusive piece of gear

that has a variety of functions beyond just drying off after a shower or swim. Weighing just 1.4 oz., the Travel Rag is 22″ x12″, is about the size of a handkerchief and can be used as a pot holder, a sponge, a washcloth, or even as a bath towel, despite it’s miniature size.

In addition, the Travel Rag is astonishingly absorbent. I tested this by using it as a bath towel at home for a few days. I was skeptical at first because it’s suede like texture is different from the other camping towels that I own. But, the Travel Rag is as good or better for drying off with and easier to ring dry because the material is thinner.

Mountain Hardwear Lightpath 3 Tent

I’ve been looking for a new tent. It seems like I always need a new tent. I guess its just something with being a gear junkie that I always look for reasons to get new gear. Well, it happened again and I bought one this weekend.

Sunday I went to REI with my Finace and checked out the Mountain Hardware Lightpath 3 tent. The tent is a 3 person backpacking tent but will be perfect for the two of us and our gear. I hadn’t seen one set up before, so I asked one of the salespeople if I could set up the tent right there in the store. The girl said “sure, go ahead and play with it.” Now that is awesome customer service and dedication to your industry. Allowing potential customers to set up tents or play with gear inside your store is a great way to push them towards the checkout counter.

Eagle Nest Outfiitters SingleNest Hammock Review

Let me start by saying – I love hammocks. Plain and simple, if you have a good hammock, then chances are that I will like it. If you are looking for a hammock for either your backyard, your campsite, your little adventure to the park, to keep in your kayak, for use on your boat, or whatever, then you should definitely consider any of the hammocks from Eagle Nest Outfitters (ENO). The products they are producing are high quality and very affordable. Here is a quick video I made testing out the hammock.

Next, lets go through some of the specs of the hammocks.

The set up for the hammock is litterally seconds. ENO also produces SlapStraps Kinky Boots move which are straps that you can use to set up your hammock system. If you do not want to purchase the SlapStraps, then you could easily use any other webbing or rope that you have handy. By slinging the tree with a couple straps, clipping in the carabiners, and laying down, you are ready to relax and feel at peace…or at least enjoy yourself for a little while.

Light My Fire Sporks Work Pretty Well

Puffball buy

I’m a huge Light My Fire fan, mostly because I deal with them regularly and am a dealer of their products. They have some really great products including the spork, meal kit, and the UCO Candle Lantern line. Today I wanted to touch quickly on the Spork that they sell.

Sex in the Ancient World: Prostitution in Pompeii hd

Poltergeist hd

The Light My Fire Spork features a spoon, a fork, and a knife all in one single utensil. It is incredibly handy, lightweight, and great for taking on any trip – short or long, backpacking or car camping. The spork measures just under 7 inches and weighs about 7 grams. Not too bad right? The length is good and does not affect the idea of wanting to cut weight and be ultralight; you can still achieve that with this utensil.

I have used it many times for a variety of meals including noodles, pasta, rice, and your normal freeze-dried food like beef stroganof. The LMF spork handled all of these meals pretty well.

TRON move

The spoon on one end is your normal spoon – nothing special here. Its about the size of a teaspoon and is good for your soups and other foods like that and also for mixing batters or mixes if needed. The fork end is the side that also includes the knife, which is along the side of the fork. The fork prongs seem short and fat and not the most helpful when trying to get some noodles wrapped around them. However, it does hold up well for most of your normal fork needs. The points of the fork are not incredible sharp either, which can be good – I have used many other sporks that have been made of titanium or other materials and poked right through plastic bags and other items. The knife on the other hand is where things fall apart for me with this spork. It almost seems useless – its definitely not the best option for cutting meat or just about anything else. It cuts through noodles and pasta pretty decently but so does the spoon end, so nothing special there.

Goodfellas video

The Wild Geese dvd The spork is constructed of heat resistant polycarbonate material and will be fine if it is left in some boiling water or other hot liquids. It is also has some flex to it, so if you were to step on it may not break, but if you bent it hard somehow, it would snap in two. It is also a nice material because you do not really need to worry about it scratching up your pots and pans. Being a nice smooth plastic, it won’t leave many if any marks and you should be good to go with using it on your Teflon or other material pots.

The spork is also incredibly easy to clean – just get it wet and wipe it off. The spork is a great item to keep in your pack, take with you on any trip, and also give to your kids to use when you take them outdoors.

Light My Fire Grandpa's FireForks Make Fire Cooking Easy

WoodsMonkey has a great article about the Grandpa’s FireForks from Light My Fire. I have sold many of these and have more on the way and believe they are great items. Look for them to be in the TheGearHouse store soon (which will also be getting a MAJOR revamp).

Heres the article from WoodsMokey:

Cooking food directly over the flames is a practice that goes back as far as man has had fire, and the basic practice still hasn’t changed all that much. Take a look around any campground that you happen to be near and you’ll find folks roasting hotdogs and marshmallows on pointed sticks right over the fire. It simple, it works, and it’s fun for the kids to both cook that way and to make their sticks ahead of time.  However, it isn’t always the most efficient way to do things.  It’s not uncommon to lose your food into the fire with the old single prong pointed stick. Multi prong sticks work a little better and you can find metal two tined fire forks at most camping stores. The problem with those is either that the big ones are too long and bulky to take on anything but a car camping trip, and the smaller are generally all metal including the handle portion. They also tend to be rather short and quickly heat up since you have to be closer to the fire–not to mention the fact that the metal transfers the heat to your hands much more than it will with a wooden stick.  Enter Light My Fire and their Grandpa’s FireForks.

Rain Gear Material Comparison

When you are deciding on what kind of rain gear to buy for your outings, you want something that will last because more often than not, the better quality gear is more expensive. So, raingear is not neccessarily an area that you want to pinch pennies and try to get by with “the cheap stuff”. But, there are a lot of different materials out there that can make picking the right rain gear a bit of a problem for you. So, to help out with making the choice a little easier, here is a small comparison of 3 different types of materials: Gore-Tex, Activent/DWR, and Plastic.

Raingear Comparison

Advantages

Disadvantages

Gore-Tex

Waterproof; breathable; excellent construction; perfect for cool and cold weather

Expensive; impractical for warm-weather walking

Activent/DWR (Durable Water Repellent)

Mostly waterproof, breathable, less expensive than Gore-Tex

More expensive than a poncho; not completely waterproof

Plastic

Very inexpensive

Traps perspiration; not breathable; practically disposable; not durable atacand

You really want to look for something that is comfortable, that is breathable, durable, and fits your price range. Like mentioned, a plastic poncho can be very cheap and it may work for you if you just want something “in case it rains” and are not too worried about it. But if you are going to be doing a lot of hiking, backpacking, or other outdoor activities, investing in a higher quality mostly waterproof rain gear set is a good idea!
