		<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[Let's face it, store bought camping food is expensive and a bit dull, but weight is a constant factor on the trail.  So what is the alternative?  Dry your own food!  Here is my review of my first dehydrator, the Nesco FD-35.
