1. Stove. Butane, an MSR stove called the Whisperlite. I am not > I'm still using an old Coleman's dual fuel clunker. I have a light weight Peak dual fuel but haven't used it yet. 2. Sleeping bag. A Slumberjack Solite. They advertise it as a biker's or kayaker's bag. Supposedly rated to 40 degrees. It is okay at that > Campmor down sleeping bag packs down to about 6x4 inches. Rated to 20 degrees. The nights up on Lake Champlain two weeks ago were in the 20-30's and I was nice and snug with just my birthday suit (and the sleeping bag). I want to say the bag was a little more than $100US but I'm sure it was probably less than $150US. When I'm canoe or car camping I take the 4 man tent and love all the extra room. When I'm kayak or backpack camping I take the 2 man A frame which I hate because it always hangs down in my face. When canoe or car camping I take my Thermarest chair which is great for sitting almost anywhere's outdoors. I don't like it much inside the tent though for some reason. Too much room for kayak or backpack. I also like my Peak dual fuel lantern even though I have to pump it up every few minutes. The wind screen for my stove is great and I just picked up a 'heat diffuser' (flame tamer) from a catalog to see if I can get something to simmer on the stove. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Oct 15 1998 - 05:43:26 PDT
