    Li-NMC battery or LiFePo4 battery, which is better?

    The Zendure 2000 has dropped quite a bit in price I've noticed. The location feature is toggleable via the app

    12 volt water heating options for cooking?

    I'm considering and exploring the use of the single induction burner. Inexpensive, clean, relatively safe and quite efficient. Will try it out this season to scope out the down sides.

    Is there such a thing as too much light at camp

    All good considerations already mentioned. Equip as much as your pocket book can handle but use the least amount of lighting necessary. In extreme situations you can flame on e.g. search and rescue or impromptu command post, you may need more than normal. Consider also that intense lighting...

    SOLD: Suunto MC-2 /360/IN/D Compass (Never used.)

    "sentimental" - I suffer from similar affliction. I'm still using a mechanical thommans altimeter, a 40 yr old MSR stove, 30 yr old goretex bivvy sack. I also have that same compass

    Are pop-up campers more popular than hard-side purely due to how they look when mounted on a truck?

    I did not overlook the fact that the soft walled pop up topper does not trigger "camper" or "RV" registration and taxes here in WA state. It was no more than Leer et al, with a floating lid. I may perform a true overland venture but mostly will be light on/off road ventures. So the...

    Quality gloves

    May need a new battery?

    It does sound as though the battery has aged to the point where it has built up high internal resistance (not unlike cholesterol). Best way to test this would be using a capacitor or resistance based LOAD TESTER. In many instances, your nearby auto parts store will have one and can test your...

    Quality gloves

    I live a couple miles from Filson HQ and walked in for the first time expecting to leave with some quality Filson tagged item. I left empty handed. I must have made the circuit down every aisle and touched each pile 3x. Even a baseball cap was $75 so I just shrugged and left.
