The portion of the boom that extends beyond the stake will act as a lever to pull the stake up. I doubt the angular moment on the stake will be enough to overcome this. That leaves less stake...

It packs up quite small, I've been considering getting one of these but haven't decided to pull the trigger just yet. I think most people could fit it in their packs or at least lash it on unless...

The Titanium Goat 12" cylinder stove with a 7' stove pipe weighs 26 oz. You're going to make something 'much' lighter than that with solar cells and bateries?! Well, I'll be watching this thread with...

As a casual duck hunter I realized the other day while cleaning some ducks that I throw away a lot of down that might otherwise go to good use. I also have several friends who hunt ducks and geese...

Some good points again John, thanks. Now off I go to figure out what masons line and zing-it are.:)

I figured the minimum lines i can load to be three per side and they all tone the same pitch with a pluck so they're probably close to the same amount of load. Ok, so I'm 155 x safety factor 5 =...

I've been searching for info and discussion on shroud lines on hammocks here and on the web without luck so I thought I'd start a thread.

First of all, I'm not even sure they are called shroud...

Something I've been toying with in my mind for tree huggers. What if you took a piece of amsteel, unraveled it in the middle, and spread the fibers out longitudinally on a peice of tape. Then, place...

Wow, I originally posted this not expecting so much discussion,(then didn't come back for a while:/) but, a lot of good points. I totally see the reason not to want to fracture the community....

I can't find any user groups. I think it would be an awesome feature so people in certain locality's or specific interests could get in touch with each other more easily. If there are user groups...

Hey, figured I'd introduce myself here instead of starting another thread. I'm from Lehi and wanted to camp in an area where the only two sites that are level are always taken. So that lead me to...
