Have you used them and dislike them?

I'm jealous--an MSR that can simmer!!

A friend told me about a technique to use regular silicone RTV caulking
thinned with turpentine to waterproof regular nylon fabric.  I might
have to try it.

I don't tend to baby my gear while in the field (don't try to abuse it,
though, either), but I take really good care of it when I'm
home--rinsing, drying, storage, etc.

Happy New Year!
Shawn
