Final Update: Hiker Hunger Outfitters Hammock Set

Hiker Hunger Outfitters I have enjoyed testing the Hiker Hunger Outfitters Hammock Set.  I have been pleasantly surprised at just how comfortable the hammock is.  This is mostly due to the fact that it is not only a wide hammock but much longer than most typical hammocks of this type.  I don’t have a lot of new information about the hammock so in my final update I just describe how the weather effected my hammock setup.  You can read all the details by clicking here.

Hults Bruk Kisa Update

Hults Bruk Kisa axe Been a busy summer and much of that was traveling by plane so wasn’t able to take the Kisa with me.   Imagine that..  However, I did use it around the home place enough to get a good feel for the axe. It has proven to be a very useful tool when an axe was required. I should qualify that because I used it in place of a chainsaw when both would have worked but an axe is just more satisfying to use.  I’ll try to explain that in my update which can be read here.

Watershed Animas 40L Backpack

Watershed Animas 40L backpack I will be testing the Watershed Animas 40L in as many ways as possible over the next few months. As an avid hiker, cyclist, and kayaker I should find a few different ways to put it through the paces. I hope to establish how it works for each activity and most importantly, will it keep my gear dry.  It is a dry bag after all.  To read my initial thoughts and get a good overview of the Animas please click here.

I have thoroughly enjoyed testing the MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe stove kit.  I guess no stove is perfect but this one comes really close.  If only it would clean up the dishes after cooking…  Seriously though, this stove is a winner!  You can click here to read my thoughts as I conclude my testing of the stove and included cook set.
