With the Thermarest pad and Northface snowshoe, I have been warm and dry in all conditions. May years ago I was ...

Ha, baby wipes! Good call . . I find they smell a bit much though. It is like the folks who use drier sheets, they smell bad . . to me . . .I use the Coleman Bio-wipes: https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000014871-Biowipes-30-Count/dp/B008DCWTYC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481128158&sr=8-1&keywords=bio ...

Interesting. I went through a few of these over the years, spent more money that it was worth . . . I ended up with something cheaper and more simple simple. Unless one carries a lot of water, a Navy Shower works best. You get wet, turn it off, soap, rinse, done. Solar showers work if you are going ...

APRSDroid does not support e-mail so far as I know. I do not know if there is other s ...

I bought this last fall and finally got around to setting it all up. I've used it the last two trips but it's not a daily use driving to work. I didn't get to try out the messaging feature because I didn't see anyone I recognized. I need to set my baofeng up to a nonconstant 12v and set the ...

I got in touch with the guys involved in the QST article about the little generators and noise. They are so cool. I am going to order the filter that did well in the article (Corcom/Tyco 6609037-2) and also maybe play with the FT240-31 cores they had some success with. I will play at home, then I ...

A year later, still running this setup. Just used it on a rip to the El Paso Mountains. We left at different times and took different routes but tracked all the way to camp Friday. Used it all weekend and found it pretty useful, letting us spread out at times. We find that comms on 70cm work well ...
