MSR MIOX Water Purifier
Friday, September 12th, 2008
The MSR MIOX water Purifier is a cigar-sized water purifier that uses ectrically charged salt and water to kill everything from E. coli a-no-Giardia to cryptosporidium and anthrax. The multi-stage process is a little tedious, but unlike a pump, you only need to do it once to treat up to four litres. A set of test strips ensures your water is safe to drink
Feathered Friends Osprey Sleeping Bag
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
When you’re spending serious money for a sleeping bag, is it too much to expect perfection? You might find it here, because the Feathered Friends sleeping bag from Osprey is a 30°F mummy sleeping bag and comes in 8 lengths (4 men’s and 4 women’s), with optional custom-fitting.
Montbell Super Stretch Down Hugger – Sleeping Bag
Saturday, May 31st, 2008
Tired of sleeping bags that are either too cramped or so voluminous you can’t heat them up? Stretch-baffle stitching is the answer to solve the above problem. The MontBell Super Stretch Down Hugger sleeping bag is one the most comfortable sleeping bags whether you are tall, short, or wide. This thin stretchy sack fits everyone.
Marmot Atom Sleeping Bag – Light Sleeping Bag
Saturday, May 24th, 2008
This warm bag passes muster even on nights below its rating. Rarely do we find a 40°F bag that’s toasty into the mid-30s, but this ultralight, 900-fill down mummy passed that test from Washington’s Glacier Peak Wilderness to Alaska’s Revelation Mountains. And yet it packs smaller than the other three bags and weighs barely more than a pound. That’s because Marmot uses the highest quality feathers available, which translates to high loft and heat-trapping with little weight and bulk. Dimensions are comfortable for someone of average build or smaller-just right in the shoulders and waist, with a little extra thrashing room in the footbox. The Pertex Quantum shell breathes nicely while repelling condensation; the bag also features a locking zipper, draft tube, and nicely fitted hood. Only caveat: The short, 38-inch zipper saves weight, but limits venting on warm nights. Price: $249 USD (regular, 72 in.) $269 USD (long, 78-in.) Weight: 1 lb. 2 oz.

Bushnell Powerview 8X21 DCF Binoculars
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008
This high-powered binocular from Bushnell is compact enough to fit in a shirt pocket and will take a bit of abuse while on the go. It features rubbery coating around common impact areas and 8X21 lens which delivers pretty good magnification for the price.
