  • Out with the old and in with the new REI Wind Matches & UCO improved matches. For years after watching a John Wayne movie - I remember he spoke about finding a wind match in one scene out west. I found a box and its has been a small part of my kit. There are few interesting add on's in the bottle. appalachiantrailcafe.net/index…7e95e6fc4302f7097c65b9b0e Inside each bottle is a small amount of Cotton and fire starting patch (charcoal cotton) This keeps the matches from rattling.

    Quote from Rasty: “Quote from Wise Old Owl: “Rasty what wore out too fast in Cuben that you owned? ” Pack liner, tent stuff bag, sleeping bag dry sack. ” Sorry to hear that, but you use it and if anything in your pack is abrading then they need to be kept separate, I guess you hike a lot.

  • Quote from WanderingStovie: “I prefer to let my cuts dry out, for the same reason meat is preserved by drying. Bacteria need moisture to thrive. But maybe I'm doing it wrong. ” The inventor had a hard time selling the product until he would deliberately cut & burn himself and apply the salve. Then pointed to the previous cuts that had healed on his arms, it appears to be the "original antibiotic"

  • Quote from TrafficJam: “I've used a space blanket under my pad. Not sure if it made me warmer, it's hard to measure that. The sun visor idea is great, it can also be used as a sit pad. ” I cant get past the performance, 1. survival - nope 2. noise 3. can't repack it well end up tossing after a while. As I moved to hanging between two trees, and suffer from noassitol, I cut up an old Thermarest pad to a 3/4 and the 1/4 is my sit pad.

    Quote from WanderingStovie: “If it is woven, why not rip stop? ” This is a clear trade off - lighter better, but not wear resistant, Sail cloth can be tossed each year with the Billions they make each year. Rip stop is heavier and isn't solar resistant. There are additives involved as the sun can make visible holes in one season.
