You can download the speed test at your phones market or at www.speedtest.net I have 4G LTE on my new Droid Bionic, and I was told when I bought it that it is around ten times faster than 3G, possibly more. It approaches the speed of my high tier Comcast Internet at home. Here are two results...

I bought one of these a few months ago to try out at home to see if I want to use it for camping. I have an old manual egg beater that is from around 1960 or so that was my mothers, and I have used it for years. This Oxo one though works way better, and Amazon just got them back in stock again...

I have seen these before for DX work, and I think it would be fun to take one on a camping trip to the mountains. Been watching some of their videos this morning. http://www.youtube.com/user/buddipole http://www.buddipole.com/ I kind of like the mini one as it has 4 11" poles that equal the 2...

Read about this magazine for frequencies above HF in the Gorden West book I am using to study with. The magazine is mainly aimed at Technician Class folk's, but also offers info for higher class licensees. http://www.cq-vhf.com/ If I like the layout, I may get the main CQ magazine down the...

So I am back to studying my Gorden West Technician Class Element 2 Amateur Radio License Preparation book to get my license, and I decided to plug in on my Droid "Ham Radio" and I found a cool app I installed today from Amazons App Market, but the main Android Market has it too. Amateur Radio...

Saw this posted over at IH8MUD's camping section. Who needs matches or a cook stove, this flashlight is 4,100 lumens, and it will start a fire and cook your eggs for you. http://www.wickedlasers.com/lasers/The_Torch-74-41.html

If you run Windows XP and Movie Maker that comes with it, you will find out you can no longer use Movie Maker when using a GoPro HD movie which is an MP4 file. Movie Maker refuses to open the file. Now if you have Windows 7, the Movie Maker that comes with it I have read will work. I like the...

Just ordered this setup of a rechargeable battery and inverter that can be recharged via 110v at home, via your rig, or via solar panel. I had a custom cable made up that will made this unit to my Powerfilm solar panel so the panel can recharge it in the field. The inverter can pump out 400...

I bought the GoPro Hero HD when they first hit the market, and it takes very good full 1080p HD videos and 5 megapixel pictures. www.mtbr.com has a review on the two cameras in the thread title. http://reviews.mtbr.com/300-helmet-camera-shootout Earlier this year I bought the LCD screen...

I am a fan of Bear's survival show, and I had posted in the knife thread about the new Gerber line that has his name on them. Amazon emailed this fire starter link to me earlier in the week. Bear Grylls Survival Series Fire Starter I have a few of those fire starter rods now that you simply...

These are on sale and some sizes are available via Amazon Prime where you get free two day shipping, or one day shipping for a few bucks more. I checked out REI this morning online and a lot of the fleece is expensive and not on sale, most were around $100 and even higher. I like Columbia...

Cabelas has two nice identical mugs, with the 50th anniversary one being a tad cheaper. Must be a marketing ploy, but both are 304 stainless steel and hold 16 oz. I ordered the 50th edition one, and it showed up yesterday, and seems to be very nice. This will be my new camping mug. Right now I...

Saw the launch over at Mud first, then some videos popped up over at fjcruiserforums site. http://www.toyota.com.au/fj-cruiser?WT.ac=Toyota_GlobalNav_SUVSand4WDS_FJCruiser#one-way-in-one-way-out The videos below are available in full screen 1080 HD. YouTube - FJ Cruiser One Way In. One...

I did not see a dedicated knife thread, but several small ones where a member was showing their knives. I have a tons that date way back to the early 1900s that were my dad's pocket knives. I will have to post later my main three that I use camping and at work, and they are all Gerbers...

I have a small white plastic cutting board that I have had since 1989 when it use to be in my tent trailers kitchen stuff. In the Spring issue of the OJ's kitchen test, there was one that had a cutting board one could place on the fold down lid of the chuckbox. This got me thinking I can do...

Since I moved to a chuckbox instead of the Cabelas Kitchen setup I have used the past three year, I do not really have a table strong enough to hold chuck. The large Cabelas roll top table I test fitted chuck on a few months back I would not trust with that much weight. I was surfing ATs site...

Just got this in my email from a friend.

These will not be used for backpacking, but I am looking for a good pair to wear around camp (backcountry camping) that can be comfortable over rocks, some trails, and an occasional stream fording, but the latter maybe not at all. I made the mistake last year leaving my old Vasque mid Goretex...
