Lifesaver JerryCan 10,000 Liter Capacity Filtering Can (Light Blue) Save 3% off
I have not had time yet to review the operation of this item, however I wanted to alert other customers to an omission.As delivered, the Lifesaver JerryCan 10,000 included only a standard outlet tap and not the carbon tap (activated carbon filter) advertised as "replacement" items.
The instructions mention using the carbon tap for chemically contaminated water and using the standard tap provided with the unit otherwise, however you don''t get to read that until after you have purchased the item and it has been delivered. The carbon tap is supposed to reduce water flow significantly.
For the price of this item, I expected it to include a carbon tap as well as the filter cartridge as standard (with maybe a standard tap included as a bonus).
Be aware that if you want the carbon filter tap, you will likely have to purchase separately at extra cost.

Sigg Wide Mouth Traveller Water Bottle (Alu)
I purchased the 1.5 L, wide-mouth traveller because I wanted to eliminate carrying extra water in plastic while on my long days on the road for work due to the issue with plastics leaking BPA or pthalates when exposed to heat. I liked this bottle because of its large size, and the ability to put ice cubes in the wide mouth. I also liked that the bottle contains no BPA or pthalates. This bottle is certified to contain zero BPA in any part, which is an improvement on previous Sigg bottles which claimed no BPA, but still had some. The lining is made of a resin. My reason for the 3-stars is mostly because of the lining. It''s impossible to find out what this resin contains, and that''s a problem for me. Additionally, if you leave water in the bottle for any period of time, even just a long day, you can taste the resin in the water. My other more minor complaint is that it doesn''t keep iced water cold for very long because there''s no insulation, and therefore, it also sweats quite a bit. This can be remedied by the additional purchase of an insulating sleeve.

This bottle is great. Sigg is very trusted brand and their reputation holds in this product. I''ve owned other Sigg bottles and never had any problems with any of them. They are strong and durable and look amazing. You don''t get a plastic taste in the water like other bottles and, no, you don''t get a metal taste either. This bottle is huge, by the way. It''s taller than a 2-liter soda bottle. But it still is great to have on long road trips, hiking, etc. The wide mouth makes all the difference in the world, too. Being able to add ice easily really makes this bottle worth every penny.If you''re on the wall about getting one or not, order it. It''s worth it and you won''t be disappointed. It is a great bottle.

This bottle is great saves me a lot of money as opposed to purchasing a plastic bottle daily. Supplies me with enough water for my day. Sturdy build I strongly recommend it.Want Sigg Wide Mouth Traveller Water Bottle (Alu) Discount?
I purchased this rather large Sigg because due to the age of the pipes in the building where I work, drinking the water is ill-advised. I carry this in each day along with a standard 16 oz bottle and find it meets my needs well. Typically, I go through the supply in a day or two so sometimes I can leave it overnight. It''s much easier to carry in my bag for work than a gallon of water. Of course, it also has the benefit of being reusable.The best feature of the bottle is the combination top. It has a screen top lid of standard size so you can drink from the bottle with ease. However, because the bottle is large, I typically just use it to refill my smaller bottle. The base of the cap also screws off and when removed, the bottle is wide enough to easily accomodate ice cubes--a feature I will definitely take advantage of in the summer.
The only con, although it''s an expected one, is the sheer size of this bottle. It has a not too large footprint, but is very tall. I have posted some pictures of it with a standard 16 oz bottle and a mug to give other potential buyers a sense of its scale.

Laken Hit Bottle (0.6L) Save 56% off
The two most important things I look for in a water bottle is that it has to be absolutely leak proof and that where my lips go needs to be 100% protected when I''m not drinking out of it.This Laken bottle fits the bill perfectly. (Note: This article is in reference to the Hit model which has a sport cap, NOT the Laken Classic bottles which have regular screw-on caps.)
The design of the bottle itself is fairly straightforward: just a cylinder with a perfectly-placed ridge toward the top to help gripping. I have this in green which wasn''t my first choice but it still manages to look beautiful. The green isn''t paint, it''s more like silvery green. Very beautiful, especially in the light. Like the description says, the inside is coated with a food-safe epoxy. I''ve never drank out of a metal water bottle without any lining but I''ve heard that water can taste a bit metallic after a while. The opening is 1.5" wide, plenty big to fit even the largest ice cubes. Also, the big opening means that it can actually get clean in the dishwasher.
The top is where it''s at. Closed, it looks like the similar Sigg cap. This one also has a little metal loop if you want to attach a clip to it. Even if you don''t use the loop, it tucks away so well you''ll forget that it''s even there. You flip open the half dome to get to the mouthpiece. To open the mouthpiece, you use the two nubs and twist it halfway around. (The cap will not close unless the top is twisted back down, a great feature which ensures you''ll never have any accidents.) Another feature I never expected was that the top disassembles into two parts: the mouthpiece and the bottom which screws onto the bottle (and the attached cap). I appreciate any water bottle which you can thoroughly clean because the parts can actually come apart.
All in all:
-This is a beautiful water bottle.
-It does NOT leak.
-The mouthpiece is protected by a cap.
-The mouthpiece dissassembles for through cleanIing.
-The wide opening is big enough for ice cubes and to be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Ten out of five!
P.S. For those of you who fear that aluminum water bottles dent easily, I don''t think that applies to Laken bottles. Perhaps it''s because of the lining which helps strengthen the bottle. Perhaps they''re just better quality than Sigg bottles. (Gasp!) I am extremely clumbsy and rough with my possessions. Even I haven''t managed to so much as nick this baby.
(I hope this review is helpful for those of you on the hunt for your perfect water bottle. It would have taken me considerably less time had others posted detailed reviews like this one.)
However, the top does leak a little bit, more from water caught washing the lid. This can be solved by shaking the water out after cleaning.
I also wish I bought a .75 liter. The .6 liter is light and portable, but I do have to refill a bit more often than I''d like.
Great quality bottle which gives no metallic taste at all.
I would recommend Laken to anyone!
Stanley Adventure Camp Cook Set (24-Ounce)
This stanley cookset is absolutely awesome, especially for the price. I would have paid double the actual price and still been happy with my purchase. Once you get this item in your hands, you will notice how high quality and rugged the construction is.The set includes:
1 stainless steel cooking mug
1 stainless steel mug top
2 plastic 10 oz cups
COOKING MUG
This consists of a rugged stainless steel construction and feels like it will take an absolute beating. it also has measurements on the side that range from 8oz to 20 oz that are spaced out by 4 oz increments. This is handy for knowing how much to heat up to fill the two 10 oz cups. Also, the mug has a folding handle that is long enough to be away from the fire so it doesn not get too hot. This folding handle also locks the top in place while you are storing it at your house or in your pack. It may be a little narrow for some stoves as reported, but it works great with the MSR Pocket Rocket which is, in my opinion, the best camp stove out there. The cup is also wide enough to fit the smaller fuel cans inside. But if you do this, the two cups will not fit.
MUG TOP
This is also stainless steel and is made to the same quality as the mug. It has a few tiny holes at the top for steam to escape and a ruberized pull tab at the top for removal when hot. This tab also locks the top in place when the swing arm is over the top for stowing. By having a top, you can boil water faster and, consequently, save the fuel you bring along with you. It is a very convinient and user friendly design.
CUPS
Both cups are 10 oz and are insulted and built very well. They are BPA free and fit right into the mug for compactable storage. They do not get too hot when boiling liquids are added because of the thickness and insulative properties.
This system will give you boiling water in under 5 minutes with a stove, which is not bad at all. It is very economical in every sense of the word: it saves gas, boils quickly, and costs very little for what you get. The snow peak titanium cookset costs $40 and does not come with small cups and the cup itself is considerably smaller. Thats just an idea of how good this value is. Great product for campers and I highly recommend this cookset.

Buy Stanley Adventure Camp Cook Set (24-Ounce) Now
I sold camping gear at a major outfitter for a number of years, and I''ve been a gear-junkie for over half my life. I can''t believe I''ve never come across this set before now, but I haven''t. And I also can''t believe how absolutely perfect this set is for a minimalist expeditioner, at such an unbelievably low cost. The price is fair as-is, but I would expect it to cost three times as much since inferior designed sets by well-known ultralight brands usually cost a lot more, and since the price of stainless steel has gone up so much in recent years.Here''s what is amazing about this cookset...
PERFECT SIZE FOR ONE OR TWO MINIMALISTS. Usually, a cookset that is designed for two will be appreciably larger, but if you''re a minimalist and like to keep things simple, there is plenty of space here without overdoing it. The pot holds 24 fl. oz. which means you can toss in a typical can of food, such as chili or spaghettios, and heat it right up without having to fill it dangerously to the brim. It also happens to be exactly the right size for two or three cups of instant hot chocolate, and enough for the water requirements of many prepackaged dehydrated meals. In my experience a lot of cooksets are either a little too small or (far more commonly) larger or more awkwardly sized than they need to be. I much prefer a narrow, taller pot to a really wide, shallow one, but they can be hard to find. This one is perfect.
ACCEPTABLE WEIGHT. Backpackers who count every gram may grumble to see that it''s made of stainless instead of titanium, but the weight will be quite acceptable to all but the most obsessive ultralight folks. The stainless steel is thin enough to minimize weight without being so thin as to deform easily under pressure or heat. I''ve seen other stainless sets made from such thin gauge metal that they actually "oil can" (warp or deform) when they get too hot. Not with this set. I''ve also seen stainless sets so thick they felt like a brick to carry. Again, not with this set.
VERSATILE DESIGN. Nested inside the set are two 10 oz. plastic cups, sized perfectly for a cup of hot chocolate or a small bowl of hot food. They also are quite thick, so they don''t transfer heat to your hands. I poured in some steaming hot chocolate and could barely feel the warmth as I gripped the cup. That means you don''t have to wait for the pot to cool a bit before pouring the contents into the cups. The lid of the set is stainless steel and contains a series of small 1/8" diameter vent holes (a row of six holes on one side, and a single hole on the opposite side). At first glance, their purpose is to release steam to show you when your food is hot, which is already a nice feature. However, I also realized that they are designed so they can be used as a strainer to strain water away after cooking pasta or another hydrate-able food.
A small plastic tab on the lid offers a cool place to grab the lid even after several minutes of cooking. Other reviewers have noted that the tab can melt over time, but I suspect that would only be after extended cooking. I saw no problems with melting after six minutes of boiling water. The tab is tensioned so that it lays flat when packed away, but can stand erect while cooking (for easy grabbing without burning your fingers).
A folding wire handle on one side of the pot snaps down into place for cooking, and has a small "spreader" bar that slides into place so you don''t accidentally pinch the wires together to release the locked position inadvertently. When you want to fold it up, you slide the spreader bar back, squeeze the wires together, and lift. The handle rotates up and snaps down over the top to hold the lid on (and the contents in) during transit. Since it is wire, it diffuses heat quickly. After several minutes of cooking, the handle was barely warm and easy to hold. It is slightly longer than the handles on other cookware I''ve used. That, combined with the taller height of the pot, seems to keep it cooler than the (similar) wire handles on other compact cookware I''ve used.
On the pot, there are also measuring marks imprinted in the stainless for 6, 12, 16, and 20 oz. (or 237, 355, 473, and 591 mL, respectively). These marks are visible on both the inside and outside of the pot, so they allow quick, easy measurements when you need a precise amount of liquid to rehydrate a meal or cook to a recipe.
OUTSTANDING PRICE: After having owned several nice cooksets from SnowPeak, MSR, and Brunton, each of which cost in the $40 to $80 range, I was not expecting this cheap set to be so nice. It looked good in pictures, but I wholly expected to receive something flimsy or shoddily made. Fortunately, I trusted some of the positive reviews. As it turns out, the set is very well made and should stand up to a lifetime of camping if properly used and maintained.
NOTES: The Stanley Adventure Camp Cookset fits perfectly on my MSR Pocket Rocket stove. I built a gimbal mount so that I can use this as the perfect cookset-on-the-go aboard my 20'' sailboat. It''s ideal for making hot chocolate or heating a quick lunch when I''m sailing.

I love this cook set. It''s more sturdy than most, compact, and well designed.I built a small burner alcohol stove to match the pot''s small diameter. They worked well together, so I removed one of the cups to allow room to store the stove inside the set. The stainless is a little heavier than aluminum, and does take a little longer to heat, but I have no issue with that.
I work pipeline and have used this cook set to make soup mixes and ramen noodles on my work truck bed during lunch. In about seven minutes my meal is ready. (I always park the truck so my cook area is protected from most wind) :)
Want Stanley Adventure Camp Cook Set (24-Ounce) Discount?
I actually found the Stanley Adventure Camp Cook Set in a big-box store, and my initial opinions were mixed. On the one hand, I''ve always liked Stanley products. Conversely, I had an automatic inhibition about buying any hiking/camping items in a big-box store (I think that might make me a gear-snob, which is something I need to take ownership of). After buying the set and using it, I''ve found I really enjoy it, and it was well worth the money.A few random points...
* This is a very sturdy set: mine has held up to the typical rigors of camping/hiking. One reviewer stated he could squeeze it with his hands, thereby bending it out of shape. I agree that you could do that. But one needs to understand there is a fine line between being a hiking/camping cook set and an in-home cooking set. If Stanley were to make the cook set thick enough that you cannot squeeze it would result in a cup/pot that is too heavy to be an asset in the field.
* The lid is a great asset, that speeds along the cooking process. One reviewer mentioned melting the little plastic handle on the lid. I''m surprised, as I''ve boiled water and cooked food in my Stanley, both on stoves and directly on the fire, without any negative affects to the handle. I suppose if mine was to melt, I would just replace it with a piece of wire, and drive on.
* I like the handle arrangement on the Stanley: it locks down for use as a handle, and locks in the up position to secure the lid for travel. The handle is long enough to keep it out of the flames when placed directly on the fire. Not for nothing, but the directions provided by Stanley say not to use it on open flame: I think that is more for legal purposes as anything else.
* The set came with two really sturdy plastic tumblers, which nest in the main pot. I don''t have any use for the cups when hiking, so I leave them at home (they''re a perfect size for my 2 year old daughter). Instead, I use the space in the pot to store bagged dry food & candy bars.
* I''ve read a number of reviews here and on other sites stating that the Stanley is too heavy. Having worked in an upscale, yuppie-targeted outdoor store, I''ve heard the "it''s heavy" complaint hurled at everything from packs (logical) to plastic water bottles (sort of logical) to water itself (illogical). I guess I never really understood the ultralight movement, as I''ve never exhausted myself by carrying a steel cup around.
* All parts of the Stanley are dishwasher safe; I top-racked it just to be safe.
* The price point is very nice; even buying the Stanley set in a big-box, I only paid around fourteen dollars.
In totality, I found the Stanley set to be a good addition to my outdoor gear. The Stanley has sent my venerated canteen cup into retirement, and I expect to use the Stanley for years to come.
Lightcap 300
Great concept a solar version of the Guyot Designs FireFlye Lantern but two huge drawbacks. One it is heavy, heaver than a a water bottle light with battery''s. Two you have to use there bottle. you cant migrate the cap to other bottles you already have. I bough this product to ad to my backpacking gear and it is poorly suited for the job. If you are car camping it think it is a neat toy.
If you''re looking for a solar powered flashlight, this isn''t the product for you. If you are looking for a solar powered "glow stick", then you won''t be disappointed.This seems an early design since there are multiple imperfections: there are too many unconnected parts, specifically the rubber gasket pops off easily and is hard to keep track of, the width of the bottle makes it nearly impossible for small hands like mine to manage, it needs some kind of handle, more than the thin cord I can''t quite figure out how to attach securely.

We spend 4-6 weeks camping on the beach in baja every winter and have several LightCap 300''s that we take with us. They are perfect for mixing margaritas and carrying them to the beach. Having the light for the walk back to our camp is always helpful. We charge the caps everyday and they provide enough light for the night.Good gift for the guy that has everything.

30 in 1 ULTIMATE Survival Bottle & Emergency Outdoor Kit Whistle Compass Save 33% off
Let me just start out by saying if I could, I would give this product 4 and a half stars. First, the water bottle, it is nice and large, not heavy and the cap goes on tight, but the downside of it is there are no marks on it that say how much water you have in it, but its not that big of a deal. Next, the rope. The rope is so small it''s unbelievable, it seems pretty sturdy though and it could be useful for making snares if you had to, bring it with you, it weighs close to nothing and it will be nice to have. The whistle is alright, the light is pretty bright, and the whistle is loud, which is good. But don''t expect to be able to store anything, I was hoping it would be big enough to store matches in, but it''s not even close. The compass seems to be OK, and I haven''t tested the thermometer yet.The multitool is pretty useless, I''m pretty sure they just included it so they could make their number bigger for the "30 in 1" thing. The thermoblanket, the hand warmers, and the water purification tablets all seem OK, I haven''t had a chance to use them yet though. The knife sharpener is crap. Its a cheap piece of plastic with some metal in it, I don''t know though, maybe I just don''t know how to use it properly. As for the whole reason I bought this thing in the first place, the knife. The knife is pretty darn cool, it''s got some nice rope on it with makes it comfy, and it came surprisingly sharp. The fire starter is neat also, at first, I thought it didn''t work, but eventually it did, and I got some HUGE sparks. Do not strike it inside, they are big, they leave a trail of smoke. The sheath is complete crap though, it doesn''t even have a belt loop (if that''s what they''re called) but hey, it''s a decent knife. Overall, its a decent kit. I really only bought it because I wanted it and I''m a sucker for kits. I wouldn''t pay over $40 for it though. Shipping was good, decent product, happy with purchase.

Official US Military ACU MOLLE II Canteen Utility Pouch
Nice pouch...will fit canteen and cup, drain grommet at the bottom, MOLLE straps are good and the two side pouches are good for fuel tabs or other small knick-knacks.If...a big IF...you get a cup, canteen, lid, and stove combo where the stove fits well on the OUTSIDE of the cup, a couple of estbit tabs and water purification tablets in one pouch and a waterproof match holder and hobo tool on the other and you''ve got yourself a one heckuva lightweight portable kitchen.
Only drawback...the shock cords. The elasticity is good, but the cords stick out on the sides. Maybe I''m too critical, but they just bug me. Other than that, I''d recommend these to anyone.
I''ll be buying another for the missus''s rig.
Weight (canteen with water, stove, lid, and my firesteel & striker) 4 lbs. 5 1/2 oz!
Not the lightest weight for toting, true. FOR ME, however, it *does* serve its purpose for out-in-the field carry (day hikes, solo car camping), or items for my car emergency kit.
It''s a matter of taste, personal preference, and intention of usage.
My bottom line: If you want it, get it. I did, and I''ll post pictures of its application. (if allowed).
