I need advice on buying a new tent I can rely on. While preparing for a recent trip, I set up my 14 year old tent to reseal seams in the fly. While waiting for the seam seal to dry, one of tent poles split. The poles run from one corner of the base of the tent to another -- pretty standard...

Little Miami River in southwest Ohio in 1965 when I was 16. My cousin's family owned a Grumman and I had taken small boat lessons from my local Red Cross chapter in Delaware Ohio, which included rowboats, canoes, sailboats, and motor boats, but all on the local reservoir. I don't think I'd ever...

Thanks Brian, sounds like I may be ordering two devices.

Looks like a great little gadget. I'll likely order one when I get back from this trip. Do you know if it works with the small propane tanks used for two burner car camping stoves?

Can anyone give me an estimate of how long one of MSR's fuel canisters will run for: Fuel Canister on REI. I've used them on short trips and on ones where we did a lot of cooking on fires, but now I'm doing a 6-7 day trip with my son-in-law and wanted to make sure we had enough fuel with us. Thanks
