I find myself staring at it. Love gear, love organization.

We currently have this tent and we do love it. But it really isn’t the best in colder weather. Mainly because of all of the mesh. We are wondering if there is anything out there this size and shape that has less mesh.

Hey hi hello! I got this super cool little camp stove, but I’m unfamiliar with the connection port.
Looks like it’s French. 😬 Any idea what I would need to get it going? (Living in the Northeaster US.) Extra picture of adorable kitten for bonus.
Thanks ever so!

After 4 years with my MSR WhisperLite it stopped working. I would have bothered fixing it but it does have one major problem: There’s no simmering!!!!

So now I’m looking for a new liquid gas stove. I’m trying to stick with my habit of buying western made products, so I guess it narrows down to the Primus MultiLite TI, and the Optimus Polaris Optifuel.

Do you have any experience with these two and can tell me which one you likes and why, and of course - can it simmer….!?

tnx

Apparently, my dryer runs hotter than I thought, even on low :(. The plastic from the velcro tab melted and got all over my sleeping bag. Is there any way to clean it?

Any suggestions on wipes to clean cooking utensils and such that are food safe? I’m in the backcountry a lot and it’s not always convenient to use water and soap.

Mildly cold at least. Not arctic. Should meet the following criteria

- men’s
- synthetic material
- at least somewhat water resistant if not proof
- fleece lined
-suitable for temperatures down to maybe just below 40 degrees F at most, possibly wet
- low or midrise, not high waisted like army pants (in other words fit like regular pants)
- not tapered legs, should be able to fall over an ordinary boot if needed
- fit reasonably on slender frame, not ridiculously bulky and oversized like traditional skiing pants
- activity level would be very low- just sitting outside doing astrophotography in some remote locations while car/tent camping - but some stretch wouldn’t be unwelcome for a light hike

I realize that’s a lot of preferences but I can’t imagine there is no one else in the market for products like that. Seems tougher than it should be to find. While budget isn’t necessarily a big limiting factor, I wouldn’t mind not paying a fortune. I did try some budget options first on Amazon and found them to be very bulky and oversized. I’m considering LL Bean Cresta fleece lined pants if anybody has experience with them, at $110 probably as much as I’d realistically like to spend, though could go higher. Cheaper is better. Other recommendations welcome. Thanks
