The Jetboil stove seems to be a fairly revolutionary piece of new kit. The heat tranfers ring is actually attached to the cookware, to maximise cooking time. Looks like quick boiling times. Clearly the disadvantages of not being able to swap pots must make it mostly suiitable for the more ‘ex[...] Read More »

I’ve just found this new tent from MSR, I’ll get it on findmeatent.com tomorrow morning. Looks good, but havn’t had time to go into detail on it yet. Looks like it’s for pointing into the wind alright! Odd exo skeleton pole. MSR - Mountain Safety Research : Tents : Wind 2 [...] Read More »

Ok, so some of my ‘more into it’ have purchased a Petzl Myo 5, and I’m very impressed! It’s a Halogen Xenon Bulb coupled with a 5 LED source underneath. The torch switches form on to the other while twisting the lens as per normal on the Petzl Zoom. This also choose[...] Read More »

I have been given the job by the Scout Troop to build a highline/zipline/high-speed tyrolean for our camp at Easter. Today I picked & ordered the Petzl Trac for the job. I’ll let you know how things go with it. Should be an interesting turn out when coupled with the 100m of static line o[...] Read More »

Ok, was there at the weekend. Yeh, it was good, Kayking/Climbing/Mountainboarding.. but I found there to be an awful lot of adventure centres and tourism boards etc.. which I didn’t really go to see. Good start though and hopefully we can grow it year by year. Big up to Scouting Ireland who su[...] Read More »

This new line of breathable tents are becoming more the norm for winter mountaineering, where warm & weight count. The re[...] Read More »

The new tents have slight modifications on the older models, and are genrally updates rather than any new concepts. The first main difference is the colour change, from blue to the [...] Read More »
