what about helium foamed polyurethane? :cool:

those survival will-anything-can-nothings are useless if you´re not J. J. Rambo acting in Hollywood .... read www.buck-184.com and think about carrying a heavy piece of steel with limited use (saw with parallel flanges, void warranty if using grappling hooks). If your emergency kit...

no question on bike trips I carry & use both oven & washing machine. The oven is a DIY-extra to my "T" stove, the washing mashine is also homemade and is in operation :drive: while I´m riding the bike Fresh bread and clean clothing is the real luxury that separates you from the standard...

maybe one of you knows what it is: small axe head, curved edge, upper part of blade curved like on Iltis axes, no marks, numbers, signs & stamps (wire brush cleaned and checked with petrol) groove inside eye at poll side top of eye smaller edge length 90mm (corner to corner) middle of...

.... a wristwatch and (a visible) sun moss on freestanding trees and rocks ;)

don´t know what the best Bc compass is... I use a Recta DP (the compass function starts with the basic DP2 model, higher model numbers indicate additional functions) - the mirror beeing underneath the compass body shows a "true" image of the compass rose and a Silva Field 7 (beeing a...

oh that turned out maybe a little in the wrong direction: the alu pots were government issued - not the bad memories. The rumors about alu and constant forgetting - that came IMHO probably from some starting-semester student or a professor who wanted some publicity. I don´t follow that track...

there are lots of folding bikes on the market ranging from cheap & heavy supermarket junk to high quality handmade bikes - it´s mainly a matter of your priorities: you´ll get what you pay. Airnimal, Bike Friday, Brompton, Dahon, R&M Birdy, Moulton etc. www.bromptonauten.de/konkurrenz1.html...

all true ... ... but a little bit heavy :rolleyes: :) if you´re walking or biking. wait a minute - those are stoves in operation? You´re doing what with stoves with no pot/pan on? Contributing to global warming? No, you´re helping summer to get get started :D

ti and st/st are much easier to clean "in the field" plus some very bad memories about alu pots issued by my government (not "T"-alu) addyb: your windshield isn´t high & wide enough -you´re wasting fuel & time. For what it does the T 28 pot/burner holder is by far too heavy: ~50g. I´ve...

well, I´d say it all depends - maybe those potatoe bags are lightweight and filled with lightweight (dehydrated) potatoes :D 5.99 how much is that in $? Seems to be at not so very low budget ..... I guess a roll of standard household aluminum foil is a little less and makes some more (one...

nice windshields - weight? wow - a folding spork - great. Is the handle made from ti too? weight?

one liter (~ a quart) of cold water bringing to a rolling boil on an alc. stove in 9 minutes indeed is very fast - usually it takes that time for about half a liter (~ a pint). The question is on what temperature the tests were done, indoors/outdoors, sunshine/rain/hail/snow, wind speed...

oh no, I don´t use mugs that big. Maybe I was a bit confused by this:

wow, a mug full of water boiling in about 9 minutes - really quick.... ... compared to have the winters sun doing the heating. :lmao: Titanium itself is expensive, the working with titanium is expensive too. Titanium is a no-go material for alc.stoves (the evaporation takes far too long)...
