This is NOT the first backpacking water filter that handles viruses. General Ecology has a filter I have used for over 10 years that covers viruses. Not even on the MSR page that you link to do they say that it is the first. A quick search on REI would have told you it wasn’t.

Sleep as Droid is a great sleep tracker, but even better alarm clock. Integrates with my Hue system, makes me solve math problems, backup alarm, and flip to snooze. The tracking and the alarm work together and will find the best time for you to wake up. I think these features and integrations trump the features of…

I second this. They are built differently than the pistons for the radial engine.

This system could not be used for four season camping. If you have a 2o degree spread between your low and high in the winter you could lose a couple pounds of pressure easily. I don't mind re-inflating my pad before I go to sleep, but the risk of a tent collapsing in on me at night? No thanks. I'll stick to poles…

I recently switched from a $35 model to a $200+ induction/pressure model. Totally worth the price. Perfect rice, no matter what type I use. No burned spots.

Your top of the line Colnago for $36k can't pass UCI approval. How about you actually compare a bike that can actually be used in a UCI bike race to this bike. If you do, the pricing is pretty standard. Can't compare apples to oranges.

@Bluecold: Enzyme Cleaner. Breaks down the urine instead of masking the smell. Works great and is pretty cheap.

These types of stoves are nearly worthless in cold environments. They do not put out enough heat for the amount of fuel they burn. A better option would be the MSR Pocketrocket with its canister fuel. Lightweight and no risk of spilled fuel. Plus decent performance down to below freezing temperatures.

@Strangelove: which is why i dread walking around philly or even riding the BSL. ugh, why must philly suck.

@CEEJEEMCBEEGEE: A condom may be made to be able to stretch around someone's head, but that doesn't mean that it will actually feel comfortable stretching around a larger penis. There are actually men who cannot roll a regular sized condom down around their penis, and with some even the extra large ones are too tight…
