Six (6) Plastic Bottles - Florida Water Cologne 7.5 Oz
I like the smell of this cologne. It''s citrusy, spicy and floral. Florida Water also has a spiritual use as a cleansing agent. Put it in a spray bottle and spray the room, linens or yourself, or add it to bath water to be refreshed.

Olive Drab Air Force Pilot''s Flask (1 Pint)
It''s survived everything I can throw at it without a leak. It''s plain, it''s not for looking cool, but it''s for getting the job done. All plastic, durable, undetectable, sort of inconspicuous.

This is an excellent flask! Sturdy, doesn''t leak, and opaque. It is very cheap and well worth the price! Unfortunately, it is incredibly hard to find, even on Amazon! Which is where I bought it, but not unless you put the exact descript name into their search box.Read Best Reviews of Olive Drab Air Force Pilot''s Flask (1 Pint) Here
I have the regal pewter hip flask with my initials on it but it barely holds enough to sedate me thru a Bieber concert. This little gem gets past metal detectors and holds enough to help you SLEEP thru an entire Bieber concert! Rugged, convenient, doesn''t leak, inexpensive for the joy it brings.

Ok, I''ll start with the disclaimer of being retired Marine Corps. That said, I am fond of a lot of the ''good stuff'' that has quality, that you complained about while in, and you can''t find once you are out of service. This includes backpacks, camping gear in general, tools, and oh yeah, liquid containment devices (aka canteens, bottles, etc.)Now if you''ve ever touched a canteen, you have probably seen the 1-qt HDPE military issue canteens. You can get them on Amazon day or night for around $5. You really can''t beat them, just grab a couple of covers, some ALICE clips, and you can ''arm'' yourself with all the water you want. Problem is, they are 32-ounces, and that''s a tad bit too big to use as a flask for most of us.
Never fear, though. The Air Force, in its infinite wisdom (seriously), saw fit to contract to have made some strange-sized bottles back in the Vietnam-era days. I have some of these bottles. I have a green 1.5-ounce ASPIRIN bottle, a 3-ounce weapons oil bottle, and a 12-ounce flask just like this one (which is a 16-ouncer, not a 12). These bottles are beyond great, actually. They are NOT shiny, they are made just like the military canteens (the plastic has the same feel to it), they are resistant to odors and food coloring (and just like the canteens, don''t get them near heat or flame). The caps seal solid, and perfectly, every time (don''t put carbonated drinks in them, or it will pressurize in heat or when shaken, and they WILL leak then).
Think of these as mini-military-canteens. Yes, they are cheap, but man, are they durable. They can take the heat, the cold, of any day. They do not harden in winter weather, and do not fail in summer heat (uh, but don''t leave them on your dashboard of your truck haven''t done that, so can''t speak to if it will melt them or not).
You can''t have enough of these bottles, and if you can search and find the small pill bottles that match them, you''re really lucky.
Stanley Utility Water Bottle 24 ounce
Product arrived quickly. It is exactly as described. This is a great, and cheaper alternative to the similar Guyot design water bottle. It has a very large opening which is nice. I have used this product to boil water, make char cloth, and as a water bottle. I even accidentally dropped it off a four story cliff. When I retrieved it it was only slightly dented on the bottom edge. You can''t beat it for the price.

I''ve never had a Guyot, so I can''t tell you if they''re better than one. That being said, I was really hesitant to drop $15.00 bucks on a water bottle, but a Youtube review prompted me to take the chance. I love this bottle & will be buying another shortly. FYI, the size difference between the 24 ounce & the 32 ounce is so minimal I wouldn''t consider the smaller unless you need it to fit into something specific. The cap is the same size on both. The 32oz is maybe 3/4 to 1 inch wider. A 1 quart bottle with a smaller footprint than a Nalgene. The 2 piece top is smart, although took a little getting used to. No plastic remains on the bottle when the top is removed completely, so it can be used to boil water in a fire. It''s just a great alternative to the other expensive backpacker bottles out there.Want Stanley Utility Water Bottle 24 ounce Discount?
This bottle is perfect for camping. I wish it was the same size as a nalgene, but oh well. It''s still great.
New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottle (1-Liter) Save 22% off
My wife and I both got one of these a few weeks ago to replace the plastic bottled water we are used to drinking from. We use it on the commute to and from work and at our desks at work. They are great. The water tastes as good or better (from our filtered fridge) than the bottled water did. My biggest beef is the bottle is a bit larger than a water bottle, and so although it still fits in my backpack, car cupholder, etc., it is tad bit more cumbersome in my hand. The previous reviewer noted that these bottles "chirp" like a bird, and they do. However, I found that if the air hole is straight "up" (closest to your nose) when you drink, and the water inside is not up against the hole, there is no chirping noise. It takes a bit of concentration/practice, but during a meeting last week I used the bottle several times in the space of an hour without any chirping. All in all, this is a well-made, great stainless steel bottle that we plan on using for many years to come. Finally, 26 oz is NOT a liter according to Google, who state that "1 liter = 33.8140226 US fluid ounces." But these bottles are still plenty big enough for our uses.
HoweverI was VERY much taken aback the last time I filled it and it had developed a pin size hole on the side of itnot where any dent was near. This causes a water to run down the side of the bottle and renders it useless.
I think 5 months is much too short a life for a stainless steel bottle. I wish I had invested the money in something that would last. I contacted the company and was told that returns were handled by the seller, no guarantee by them.

Item description clearly states that it fits nicely in most water bottle cages. Don''t believe it. I have tried it on 3 different bikes and it is way too big to fit on any of them. Nothing wrong with the quality, I have 2 other bottles made by the same company and am pleased with all of them. If you''re looking for a bottle to carry on a bike you might want to consider something else.Read Best Reviews of New Wave Enviro Stainless Steel Water Bottle (1-Liter) Here
I like this bottle. The size is perfect for my needs, and fits into my car''s cup holder, and also my fanny packs water bottle pockets. It''s the only stainless steel bottle I''ve found that fits right. The Klean Kanteen''s are either too big or too small. I measured the diameter on the bottom with a dail caliper: 3.074". Perfect! I bought two. I am not planning on using it in my bikes, but I tried and it did not fit well too big like the other reviewers have stated.I also had a 1 liter Sigg (gave it away), and a 26 oz Klean Kanteen. I know, the KK should be 27 oz, but I measured it, and it''s only 26 oz. The KK does fit well into my bike''s cage. No taste issues with any of these bottles, including the Sigg. But the Sigg is made out of Aluminum, and even though it is coated, I''m not sure I trust the coating either.
Some of the reviewers here are saying this bottle is also much less than 1 liter, but mine is 1 liter or very close; definitely over 32 oz. Maybe they changed the design since previous reviews.
The stainless steel used seems slightly thinner than the KK. I can see how it would dent easily, so if you are throwing your bottle around a lot, it might not be a good choice. I''ve also heard that if you let water freeze in the bottle, it will bow out the bottom, making it so it won''t stand up right.
The sports top has a hole with a little stopper in it to let air in while drinking. Mine does not chirp, but I can see how it could. I found that I could "adjust" the stopper to prevent air from going through at all, and I could adjust the stopper to allow for easy drinking. When set for easy drinking, it will leak lots of water if you turn it upside down. In the other setting, it will not spill at all. I may be using it as a screw top instead of a sports top, so I like the choice. Like the KK, this one has a rolled lip to allow for easy drinking right from the bottle. The opening is also pretty big, just like the KK, making it easier to clean. The Sigg has a much smaller opening.

I bought a couple of these for my husband to use on his bicycle instead of using plastic bottles. The theory of the design is great... execution... not so great.The quality of the stainless steel is lower than many other bottles. They are much thinner steel which causes the bottles to have issues with cold expansion.
I put ice water in the bottle and the mouth of bottle expands to the point where the cap doesn''t stay on. It just pulls right off.
The threads of the screw top are not deep enough or enough period. It needs to have at least 1-2 more threads for the cap to go on tightly. It just spins loose if you try to tighten it. So it leaks.
Not using cool/cold water in the bottle just isn''t an option in Texas.
I also bought the 12oz bottles which have the same thread and bottle opening... same problems.
Save your money and just buy a Klean Kanteen. I''ve had absolutely no problems with our KK bottles at all.

Katadyn Combi Water Microfilter
i have had my katadyn combi since 1995 it gives you not only safe drinking water but good tasting with the carbon filter and it''s cheaper then the katadyn pocket filter made of plastic but it''s really tough. i found if you use a coffee filter on the hose the ceramic filter lasts longer
We are looking forward to taking it to Isle Royale and giving it a good workout there!
UPDATE 6/3/10 We have used this filter multiple times now (Porkie''s SP in MI, Isle Royale, Pictured Rocks NLS, backpacking in Utah) it has stood the test of repeat use over a few years now!
Continues to work well for our backpacking trips. No issues with it, as long as you take care of it (clean it after every trip; when you put new charcoal in it, clean the ceramic filter after pumping water through it; use a coffee filter on the end to help keep the ceramic in better shape). Good product, I like the design of the pump. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a good filter.
Buy Katadyn Combi Water Microfilter Now
I used the Combi for three months in Nepal. The filter allowed me to avoid polluting that beautiful country with hundreds of empty mineral water bottles. Another excellent reason to schlep your own filter is that travelers who must buy their drinking water tend on average to drink much less than the body needs. With a Combi you will spend less, pollute less, and enjoy consistently clean, good-tasting water. I do suggest traveling with a few more activated carbon refills than you anticipate you''ll need. The water quality in developing countries can be rather poor. Replacing the carbon often keeps the water tasting good and provides additional peace of mind. Be careful about taking the Combi to cold climates -the wet ceramic element will crack if allowed to freeze.Read Best Reviews of Katadyn Combi Water Microfilter Here
After reading and reading some more about portable ceramic water filters I settled on the Combi by Katadyn. I was NOT disappointed when I started to use it. I bought the counter top attachment so I can use the spout to fill any container needed. The extra $ was well worth it versus trying to use a screw on bottle under the filter. I used this filter with the charcoal at home trying to filter out all the added salt that my community uses in their "water softener" system to no avail. It did not take out the salt but that''s okay. I discovered an artesian mineral spring 2 miles from my home that I use now for my drinking water. I am definitely keeping my Combi and extra ceramic filter for emergency use for times when I have to leave my home and be on the road. I know how easy it is to pump and get water and how easy it is to use with the faucet adapter. I was saddened when it wouldn''t take out the salt from my home water but it did improve the water''s taste!! I figure if I need to use this water filter in an emergency situation I won''t have to worry about nasty tasting water that has bacteria in it. This is a very lightweight system that can be easily put into a backpack. The plastic is very tough as well. I don''t feel that it will be easily damaged. With a new filter I''ll be set for years of good, clean water if need be. Trust me. I shopped long and hard before I spent my hard earned $ on just ANY water filter. I owned Brita pitcher (would not recommend), a PUR faucet model, a Dupont faucet model and a few other assorted big name brands. I found that you could not take them "with you" when you travel to get clean water like you can the Combi. I needed something for a survival or emergency kit and this little filter did the job. It also will definitely outlast a Berkey Lite filter anyday. I liked the fact that Katadyn tells you just how many gallons of fresh water you will get out of one cartridge. Other companies don''t even come close to the cartridge life expectancy. Would highly recommend getting the Combi WITH the faucet adapter because you get the outflow hook up that fits on the bottom of the unit that''s literally worth it''s weight in gold for filling up coffee pots, tea pots, cooking pots where there is no screw top attachment!! Just hold it up in the air a few inches and voila instand water fountain!! I love mine and glad I did some heavy duty research to get the best the first time out.Want Katadyn Combi Water Microfilter Discount?
Great water filter, I''d recommend it to anyone going backpacking and camping. We do use it together with a Steripen, though, just to make sure.But the combination of the carbon filter plus the ceramic filter is great and the best choice! Water tastes fantastic! First we were worried that the "plastic" wouldn''t be too durable, but it''s very rugged and survived dropping on stone etc so I am confident it''s going to last a long time. Definitely worth the money, and although not the lightest, we carry it along for backpacking and it''s fine. Pumping only became harder after 3-4 days, so take the sponge with you to wash the filter in between.

I am very impressed with the quality of the materials that this is made of. It is very quiet when walking throught the woods. The only issue I have found is it is difficult to zip the pockets, even the large compartment, because of the overlapping rain-protective flaps over the zippers. They need to be able to be folded back. Other than that, I am impressed with the quality.Save 35% off
LaCuisineTM 18oz Tornado Portable Mixer Save 69% off
When I saw the written review for this bottle I didnt want to buy it...but a friend of mine recommended it and so I decided to try it out anyways...After trying it out for myself I must say having this thing is fantastic. Yes it was poorly packaged and yes it didn''t come with any instructions other than a very vague arrow on the bottom of the cup but after a little poking around I discovered that instead of unscrewing the bottom you simply remove the rubber stopper from the bottom which creates an airtight container for the batteries. Once you get that all sorted out its a matter of adding water/milk/juice pressing the button and mixing some great drinks. Press the button once to start the mixer and once again to stop it.
If you''re like me and hate protein shaker bottles, or even if you like protein shaker bottles and are just looking for something novel then this thing is flippin awesome. Makes perfectly smooth protein shakes even with milk and other perfectly mixed drinks (e.g. Crystal Lite or Kool-Aid). Get this thing. It rocks.
So I saw reviews on here saying this isn''t powerful enough to mix protein shakes and while YES it''s not a blender, it does have sufficient power to mix a protein shake. This video shows me mixing two scoops of powder. I find it easier to get the water spinning and then add the protein slowly so that you get a thorough mix. This isn''t a video review of me showing you everything about it; just me proving that it''s up to the task of mixing basic protein mixes.
The protein mix I am using DOES get thicker the longer you let it sit, so after 3-4 minutes the machine will struggle to mix it quickly, but it''ll still mix it.
I don''t show it in this video, but the switch DOES lock in the on position so you don''t have to hold it down continually. Takes 2 AAA batteries.
My overall impression/opinion of the mixer is: It''s 11 bucks... If it were twice that, I''d expect more, but for 11 bucks, it meets my expectations.
Happy mixing!
