I got this Black & Decker model to replace a older version which gave up the ghost after many years of repeated charging and general use.

The old model was of a more...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - Philips Tivo HD31202

What does it do? It totally changes the way you watch TV. Never miss your favorite program, no searching for blank videotapes to record on. Stop letting a station manager at the networks decide when you see what...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - Amazing Diving!

You cannot beat the diving in Tonga.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - Reason For Reading

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - Reason for Purchase

How many times have you needed to get in touch with someone nearby? Your cell phone doesn’t work. I had such a experience while climbing in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I was ¾ of the way up my climbing route and the...

A dish I crave.

Wed, 23 Aug 2000 06:21:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - Nothing like it.

I don't live in Seattle, but go there on occasion to visit my brother and family. I make it a point every time I’m visiting Seattle to drop in at the Noodle Ranch. One dish holds a tender spot in my heart. Actually, speaking...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - I purchased the Sweetwater Guardian Plus after using a relative’s on several occasions. I found that the Sweetwater was very easy to pump. The Sweetwater pumps on both strokes so that there isn’t any wasted energy. The design of the pumping lever...

Sat, 19 Aug 2000 16:15:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - Finally a paid to surf program that doesn’t require me to be actively surfing. I received my first check a couple of weeks ago from Desktopdollars.com. I have used other PTS programs in the past, but was dissatisfied with them because most required you...

Definitely not just a backup light.

Sat, 19 Aug 2000 12:58:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - I received the Petzel Micro Light as a gift, so it was not my pick. I’m glad now that the Micro was the one given to me. I love its lightweight small size and bright beam. The beam can be changed from wide to a narrow beam just by turning the bezel...

Only Snowshoe I'll own.

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 03:09:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - I've been using MSR Denali Snowshoes for the last two winters. I bought them initially because I liked the rugged construction and the economical price. Now that I've used them for awhile I've found them to be much more than cheap and well constructed...

One great Pack!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - Reason for Buying...

I purchased the Mountainsmith Mountainlight 5000 because I felt the advertised weight of the pack around 4 LBS a standout among the other pack manufacturers. I try to always consider the weight factor of any backpacking...

Perfect Hydration Bladder

Sun, 13 Aug 2000 18:20:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ihike - I just got back from a 5 day Sierra crossing via Mono Pass. Before leaving on the backpack expedition I decided to try a hydration bladder instead of my usual Gatorade bottle in the pack. I chose the Blackburn Easyclean Hydrasak because I liked the idea...
