		<description><![CDATA[I'm one of those guys that is always tweaking his gear. One of the items that caught my eye was the Vargo Triad Titanium Alcohol Stove.  My homemade Super Cat has replaced my MSR gas stoves on my solo hikes, and I've been wanting to check out some of the manufactured stoves to see if they are better than my DIY project.

		<description><![CDATA[With our base camp established somewhere over 8,000' and a well earned night's sleep behind us, it was time to get down to the business of training.  The next several days were spent on alpine travel and rescue, avalanche awareness, climbing, and some good old winter hiking.

		<description><![CDATA[A large part of enjoying whiskey is actually finding it. Now I love a good whiskey hunt as much as the next guy, but some of you actually have to work for a living and can't spend time running all over town looking for the perfect dram. So I thought I'd share the best establishments I've found for buying whiskey in Tucson. If all you are looking for is a Glenlivet or Johnny Walker, then any supermarket or corner beverage store will fill the bill, but if you're looking for something new then check out these stores.
