Comments on: Stimulating the Economy – Camping Gear http://danbauer.net/667/camping-gearl/ Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:05:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: dbauer http://danbauer.net/667/camping-gearl/comment-page-1/#comment-373 dbauer Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:00:06 +0000 http://danbauer.net/?p=667#comment-373 I was finally able to try out my set this weekend. It is forgiving of direct flame, quick to boil, cooked evenly, and cleaned up without a fuss. I appreciate what exists currently, but I'm surprised there aren't more tools, outdoor furniture, etc. in titanium. Raw bar and tube stock, based on my limited research, is not so costly that it's impractical vs. steel. Hopefully we'll see more as time passes. I was finally able to try out my set this weekend.

I was working on my car the other day way down in the engine and thought, it'd be great if I had some more light...wait! The Tikka! Just as useful at home as in the back country, apparently. :) I plan on taking your suggestion on the paracord--half that or less. Useful stuff to have around, for who-knows-what. I've heard of people replacing their shoelaces with it when they're heading out into the wild, just so they have a few lengths of it handy if needed. Nevermind the fashion police. lol I completely agree. I was working on my car the other day way down in the engine and thought, it’d be great if I had some more light…wait! The Tikka!

I enjoyed the justification for the rope, you may consider not taking it all at once. I’ve been so extremely happy with my petzl tikka plus it ain’t funny.
