		<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[Wow!  What a great whisky!  Balvenie produces a limited run of single barrel bottlings each year and I am impressed.  I found this to be a subtle whisky that starts slow, and just as you start to think you've missed something it sneaks up and explodes with rich, well developed, complexities.  Every sip brings something new!  This whisky was just a wonderful experience.

		<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.
