Good choice on the Aurora

Sat, 30 Apr 2005 15:42:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twomedicine - I switched to the Aurora late this season in hopes of balancing my “weight constraint line” after increasing the weight of my down bag by 12oz (factory overfill). The Aurora weighs in at 2.8oz with three AAA batteries. Usually when...

Not a Rave review

Sat, 30 Apr 2005 15:15:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author twomedicine - This Rave AMP256 must be experimental since it does not work properly. Trying to make the unit work is a part time job. I would advise future buyers to beware. I bought this product for replacing a Sony WM Sports player and replacing a Sony FM WM...

More Than You Need to Know

Mon, 17 Dec 2001 19:47:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twomedicine - Like the other wilderness areas within the Wind River Range this is a very large piece of real estate that is also a remote wilderness having a good deal of rugged trails running therein. I think it encompasses an area greater than the state of...

Strenuous backpacking

Mon, 17 Dec 2001 03:03:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twomedicine - I have been in the wilderness area for several extended backpacking trips and was alone. The best access is south and west of Dubois. The dirt road goes to the trail head after about 14 miles and can be rough for a sedan. Cell phones do not work at...

Coming back to the Backcountry

Sun, 16 Dec 2001 17:03:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twomedicine - Yes I am coming back to the Backcountry after a season using a very expensive single walled tent. The Backcountry is all one would ever need, except perhaps in a very windy and exposed high altitude environment.

The tent is easy for setting...

A good value can be found at Campmor. While other "big" name companies charge big money for their products,now...

Snag Bag good for dry country

Sun, 16 Dec 2001 16:42:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author twomedicine - I am reviewing a Big Kazoo a larger model than the Blue Kazoo, but is similar. I bought this model due to its size, 37" x 90", and is perfect for me. I am about 230lbs and 6'2" and finding a bag large enough is tough. However, this bag has drawbacks...

Just another pretty snowshoe

Sun, 16 Dec 2001 03:49:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author twomedicine - The Series 8 snowshoes have little to be desired except the binding. The binding is a good cinch to the shoe and keeps the foot snug. The way the shoes are manufactured, however, are for production efficiency not for reliability. I live in the NW part...

JVC delivers

Sun, 16 Dec 2001 03:07:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twomedicine - I was skeptical that a boombox at this price could work. It does however work pretty well except the tape recording feature of the boombox is weak.

The portable plays CD's very nicely, and is programable. The radio is sensitive. I can...
