I used a vienna sausage can to make a replacement for my cat-can stove a week or so ago, and I would highly recommend it. The base of the can is wider, hence a bit more stable. It also can hold more fuel, for longer burn times in the cold. It still feels incredibly light, given those improvements. J...

My dog food comes in 30 pound plastic bags, and I keep the food, once opened, in 2 5-gallon buckets with airtight tops. I keep a 2 month supply in hand, and rotate through the bags to get rid of the oldest ones first.

Benadryl tongue tabs
Advil gel caps
Tylenol gel caps
Claritin-D tabs
Pepto-Bismol chew-tabs
Neosporin to go spray

Yeah, that's 6, but I can fit enough of the first four for a week in a single scrip-bottle, so I'm ok going over.

They have a real crappy forum set up. There is about zero communication from the "earl team." From what I'm reading there, people are pissed due to this and I can't blame them. Money is starting to be pulled out as well, and I'm thinking about drawing mine out as well. I've been in touch with my CC...

Start taking antibiotics...failing that, I'd boil some salt (or salty) water, and once it cooled a bit, soak my foot in it, and repeat as needed...failing that, I'd soak my foot in a vodka bath to try and kill off the bugs...also, wash and dress the wnd with tons of antibiotic goo, trying to squish ...

I think more of what Jamie was saying was the market base. Kifaru has developed a rep among people who need to be rough on gear and demand it to take it. No true ultra light gear could. So if you sell on the "built kifaru tough" kinda rep those guys aren't going to be happy. The sleeping in their c...

So...are you disagreeing with my original assertion that Kifaru making ultralight backpacks was a bad idea... Or disagreeing with kifaru's decision that their making ultralight backpacks was a bad idea... Or disagreeing with the legions/majority of outdoor gear enthusiasts who thought that Kifaru ma...

It's a bit like Range Rover trying to make a Prius...

Lightweight Kifaru seems a lot like Jumbo Shrimp... :wink: I have an ultralight pack, but wouldn't dream of going to Kifaru for one, having seen/handled their packs before...

The cat-can stove is simple and easy and cheap and light and works about as well as any alky stove that I've tried...I'm a big fan!

Jamie

I tried a loaded belt, and found that I much preferred a backpack...the trick (for me) is to stick with a small backpack, because I will always fill any available space with more stuff.

I'm a big fan of those backpacks that are essentially hydration-bag carriers plus a bit of extra room.
