		<description><![CDATA[I have mixed emotions when it comes to buying new boots.  On the one hand, I love new gear.  On the other, I never know how they'll do on the trail.  A pair of good, well fit boots are quickly forgotten on the trail, but no other piece of gear has the ability to absolutely ruin a trip and make life miserable like the wrong pair of boots.

		<description><![CDATA[Here's a new addition to the gear stable and one I have high hopes for, the ultralight daypack offered by Sea to Summit.  I like to make side trips when I'm hiking and don't always want to lug my whole pack with me.  At 2.25 oz, I figured I'd give this pack a try.

		<description><![CDATA[Occasionally, I find a piece of gear that perfectly matches my requirements, such as Six Moon Designs&#8217; Gatewood Cape.  Lightweight and well made, the Gatewood was designed to function equally well as either a poncho or a shelter.  It&#8217;s not often that a single gear item can do two jobs well, but the Gatewood is [...]

		<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.
