Brunton

I've used the "Silva Ranger" style mirror compass for years (decades!). The Brunton offers nice new innovations. I only wish the lanyard were longer & connected at the other end, like the Silvas. I also wish you didn't need to turn dial 180º to take an accurate back-sighting. But: Recommended.

Made next door in Wyoming. This is my second pair, I lost the first pair in a rather roily stream in the Wind River Range. My bad.

Great stove (bought a second one family (5+) backpacking trips). Works in summer/winter and puts out the heat. Like the dual fuel - but have not used canister fuel, only liquid. Fellow campers like it too, adjustable (considering it is a backpack stove), wide 7+ inch base and pot stand, easy to operate. Flip up fuel line purge is nice feature for liquid fuels. Fits in modest pot so good to travel with.

this is a durable compact solar charging battery unit that can be useful for charging small items like cell phones. I kept it in direct sun for two days but I found that it would not reach full charge in sunlight alone, and it needed to be plugged into a USB port on my computer to achieve a full charge, and if the computer switches to sleep-mode, the USB shuts off the power supply needed to charge it up. Regardless, this is a cool gadget to have if you are in a sunny place and away from other power sources it WILL charge a cell phone enough to make some calls.

skywarn spotter. velcroe'd this to my windmeter cover and using it for accurate observations. perfect for this use... small, accurate, rugged.

these will do in a pinch, good intro to younger kids and good use for those with smaller hands. Lanyard is thin and seems to be fixed to the device. Horrible, acrid smell exudes from case and small enclosure bag; not sure if it's the vinyl used or the paint... heavy off-gassing and you'll smell it when you use it. Either way you will need to get a different case for the binocular or air this out for some time to get rid of the mechanical/paint smell... otherwise it will permeate your backpack.

The warnings say that this unit is sensitive to shock and moisture - I plan to return it because a pedometer is going to experience both routinely.

good

This looks like a great stove love the fuel options. compacts better than MSR Dragonfly but does weight more. This is a great buy on sale. No complaints but haven't tried it at 12,000 ft yet.

Great bang for the buck.
