Seek Outside Big Sibling stove review
I am not going to discuss the theory and applicability of a backpackable wood stove here. For that, go elsewhere. If you are interested in the lightest and most compact such stove currently available, read on. The Big Sibling is the lightest wood stove on the market because it dispenses with a lot of what…

Landscape Trauma
A few days ago I read a nauseating article over at Irunfar. Nauseating in that too many of the commenters are divorced from the way in which our livelihood is intertwined with the land, in ways which should usually cause a considerable amount of dis-ease. The question of whether animal protein is a necessary…

2013 in review: A journey with backpacks
Gossamer Gear Gorilla, Red Eagle Meadows. M photo. I have a large pile of packs in the closet right now. The taint of this excess is blunted somewhat by the fact that M and I can wear almost identically sized packs, but the redundancy still gets under my skin. However, given the huge steps in…

2013 in review: 14 landscapes
The year in chronological review; one photo for each month, with two for June and October as I just couldn’t pick. Which is a fitting, as the sheer volume of excellence in 2013 is overwhelming when looked back over. As far as trips go, I’m struggling with plans for 2014. Options are not in short…

I’ve done this several times this month with venison shank and stew pieces from lower on each limb. Beef is a fine substitute. Bone…

The Baladeo 34 gram’r
Pocket knives are kinda like underwear: eventually almost everyone will be see the need, and while fit and function drive individual preference, ideology often plays a surprisingly large role. I’ve been a big fan of the 34 gram Baladeo since I got one from the much lamented BPL store a number of years ago. It’s…

Rab Zephyr review
Casey Greene photo. I’ve owned a lot of windshirts in the last few years. Out of all that, the bottom line is this: if I could only have one windproof to go along with a WPB shell and a variety of insulating layers, I’d pick the Rab Zephyr and be totally content 95% of the…

The Yellowstone Grizzly: Free at last?
A not-GYE Grizz. This past week the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC) met in Missoula, and recommended that the Grizzly be delisted from the endangered species act in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. It is at once a small step and a big deal. This latest report (linked to here) primarily concerned the effects of continued…
