The full text can be found here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s110-3213 Would anyone care to point out which specific provisions are so horrible? I've read that an Oklahoma senator has threatened to block it with an parliamentary process possible, yet I can find only a few...

REI just put their 3.5" self-inflating pad on clearance - less than $40

For a 3mth Alaska trip, with 3 of us, I used a 4qt Presto pressure cooker. Stove on that trip was a 2 burner Coleman. In recent years I've been using a Trangia alcohol stove set. The windscreen limits what pots I can use. But I found that the smallest Hawkins (India) (1.5L) fits just right...

There are also shops that specialize in foam of all types and thicknesses. They may also make standard and custom covered pieces for home, RVs, and boats. I have a small wedge shaped piece that I use to level of a car seat for storing gear at night, and several small pieces that serve as small...

The modern air mattresses in standard home mattress sizes can be quite comfortable, are relatively cheap, are a bit heavy, but pack very well. It is best to inflate them in the tent or car where you will use them. The only field puncture that I've had occurred while carrying an inflated one to...

I wonder if this contamination is any worse or better in a narrow mouth (or pop top) than a wide mouth bottle.

What is meant by ' is made for one time use', other than the fact that they are as thin as possible to keep material and weight costs down? There's no discussion of a breakdown of the material in the PETE article on Wiki. Recycled PETE can be turned into polyester fabrics (possibly the jacket...

Fennel bulb is one of those hardier veggies that travels well. Sliced thin it works as a salad ingredient; in larger pieces it works in stews. For some reason, it's been selling at good price of late. I agree with the pressure cooker advice. I took a small Indian one (1.5L) on trip around...

I started buying Nalgene bottles (and aluminum Sigg bottles for fuel) long before water was commonly available in disposables (except glass bottles of that exotic French mineral water). Nalgene labware was just a durable, well sealing, alternative to plastic and metal boyscout canteens. And...

The amount of plastic in the water bottles that I use and eventually throw away is a small part of my total waste. A 1qt Nalgene weighs 148g. A 25oz disposable 28 g.. A 2 qt juice bottle 76g. For equivalent capacity, disposables weigh about 1/4 of the 'permanent'. I buy the juice whether...

I recall seeing people with cameras like that at a couple of spots: - the stone hedge replica along the Columbia River - California Redwoods Nat Park With that up/down adjustment of the lens, these cameras were valued for taking pictures of buildings and other tall items where tilting a normal...

Google search for 'Meridian camera' gave me: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/meridian/meridian.html But maybe you already found that, since your thumbnail is the same. Looks like there is a lot of relevant information on the parent page http://www.largeformatphotography.info/ Have you...

While I still use several Nalgenes often I prefer to use 'disposable' ones. For example I get 25oz bottles of drinking water ($0.29 at Trader Joes), and refill them a number of times before tossing. The push/pull top is much easier to use single-handed when driving and even when hiking. They...

Samson rope has splicing instructions: http://www.samsonrope.com/index.cfm?page=28 Note that the instructions vary with the type of rope, so you may need to browse their catalog to determine what you have.

Shouldn't the question be: why aren't more Subaru owners attracted to this site? 'Support' here comes in the form of posting by owners.

To learn more about what you can or cannot do regarding adding your own maps to a GPS unit, you may need to search a specialized forum like GPSPassion http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/default.asp?CAT_ID=2

Do online maps like Google Maps have the secondary roads that you want to drive? If they do, then these GPS units may have them as well, since there are only a few map sources. Still, if you can experiment with a unit in the store, look up some representative locations. Whether you can load...

Propane is probably easier to scale up. For example, there are large propane burners for use with things like turkey friers and large diameter paella pans.

There is one company that makes Civil War style hardtack, mainly for war re-enactors. I believe these biscuits are a couple of inches square, 1/4 -1/2 thick. Weevils are extra. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardtack A Newfoundland company, Purity, makes hard bread. These are oblong hockey...
