I just came back from the Dacks after a weekend of hiking and climbing with some friends and family.

The GPS system has made getting around easier than it ever has been before and cellphones that can run navigation apps seem to be in everyone’s pockets. However, while GPS is a great tool, the knowledge of how to use a map and compass is in my opinion, the most imp […]
MSR Whisperlite Stove
The MSR Whisperlite Stove was introduced in 1984 and is still the best liquid fuel stove you can buy for group camping, backpacking, and winter mountaineering. I purchased mine back in the early 90’s and is still the only liquid fuel camp stove I own (plus a wood burning collapseable backup). The Whisperlite I own is a White Gas (Coleman Fuel) only version.
