If you like that little Weber, be sure to check out PK Grills. I prefer them over the Weber for better low and slow smoking. The WGA though is a great for grilling! COVID and supply chain problems (inflation) sure have made them spendy these days! :cry: https://www.pkgrills.com/pkgo-w-flipkit/

That really looks like a nice option for out here in Texas (USA).

The Soto WindMaster Stove with 4Flex Pot Support has made pretty thick oatmeal in my Titanium cup without scorching. I do need to stir it a little and use a reasonable flame level. If I don't stir at all, it will get a little over browned in the bottom. Your burner matters a lot more with Ti...

A different bean is certainly a valid consideration but, growing up in Texas and Oklahoma, I have a strong affinity for Pinto beans, especially spicy ones with a bit of Mex/Tex-Mex spice, even better with some barbeque (real BBQ, not grilling ;)). Navy beans, which are more common in the...

How are those Hawkins models? Good pressure cookers for the money?

The Chinese Ti I have is a dead ringer for Snowpeak Ti which I have use for a long time. I would call this Chineseum crap because the tooling marks, seams, etc. are a dead ringer for Snowpeak equivalents. Since most Titanium comes from Russia and the manufacturing is in China, I feel these are...

When camping, I like to fix beans for supper but I am starting to camp at modest altitudes where dry beans take many hours to cook even when pre-soaked for 12~24 hours. By modest altitudes, I'm talking about 3000~6000 feet (1,000~2,000m) not mountaineering altitudes! What is a good pressure...

I am wondering about Billy Pots and whether I should get one. And, if so, why one of them over something like a Titanium cup or pot. TIA, Sid

How do these compare to one of the Titanium cups? I can get the Titanium cooking pots and mugs for a lot less than one of these cups so, I'm wondering what I'm missing. For those commenting about burned lips and such, the double wall Ti cups are awesome for coffee and tea! I should note that...

From Texas here! UPS into and out of the EU is terrible regarding fees. Their surcharges overwhelm the actual tax owed, at least it did in my case a few years ago. As I remember it, ~$15USD in tax was ~$130USD to UPS. Never used them again into or out of Europe. Those "handling" fees were...

I'm looking for an underquilt to go with a Hammock. Or possibly the Snugpak Hammock Cocoon but, it looks like it is narrow. Onetigris information is pretty sparse so, I'm wondering what is the real difference between the Hideout and Night Protector (3-season version). With these I would...

Dietz "hurricane" kerosene lanterns are a bit bigger but, work well. You can adjust the wick for the amount of light you want. Kerosene has its drawbacks but, compared to candles might be a good option for some.

Like a Kephart, it is a great design and very useful. Sure, marketing and hype are there but, that doesn't take away from its usefulness and great overall design.

I am looking at buying a Casström No.10 Swedish Forest knife in Scandi grind from Lamnia. Are there good reasons to get one blade steel over the other? Is Sleipner going to be a lot stronger on the edge than the Sandvik option? Will Sleipner be a lot more apt to rust? Will one edge be more...

This was a previous run done at 5" but, most are 4 1/4". Blade steels have been CPM 3V but, steel availability constraints may mean a different option when the next batch comes around. For a Woodlore traditional'ish blade, this 5" blade is going to be too long but, the 3.875" and 4.25"...

In the EU region, the Casström No.10 Swedish Forest knife options would be attractive to me. The Kephart knives from the USA are going to be very similar in function. Bark River did a run I missed out on and there are other great semi-production options that are very solid working knives in...

The ATS-34 versions are the ones I have experience with. Whether it is a good purchase depends on what you expect it to do. As a display piece, it will work well. If you need to stab something, the strong point will work well. In actual use, I find it very limited outside of its intended...

https://www.moleonline.com/taylors-eye-witness-lambfoot-pocket-knife-stag-handle-1008295 I got one of these in the mail today and really like it! Compared to my J. Adams version, it is a nicer knife and at 15£, it is a bargain! Thanks ATHOS!

Still working out the final details so, likely a good ways into the future with the projected long build time.

Stu Mitchell was a great resource! Thanks! Finally heard from Michael and confirmed he has some Ram's Horn. I think my email replies are probably in his SPAM filter because I had to contact him through his webpage again.
