		<description><![CDATA[Permethrin Well if you’ve read any of my reviews, you’ll know that I don’t typically talk bad about products.  I won’t talk bad about Permethrin spray, but I can’t honestly say anything beneficial either. The product states that after applying the permethrin spray to your clothes and allowing it to dry, your clothes will become [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever ate a bagel at 1000ft?  It makes the bagel taste much better&#8230; This weekend we had decided to take a hike and dust off the cobwebs and price tags.  We arrived at the Marilla trailhead near Mesick and Hodenpyl Dam.   The morning was brisk and the clouds looked iffy.  &#8220;Well,&#8221; I said &#8220;It&#8217;s either [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One product that I have overlooked in the past but need to give it the spotlight is the GSI Micro-table.  Although we backpackers look amusing as hell trying to juggle our stove, fuel canister, water, food, chainsaws, and burning torches, it gets to be a bit tedious after the first severed finger&#8230; Well now you [...]]]></description>

This edition of Backpacker Magazine is the most informative book to hit print since the Hitchhiker&#8217;s Guide to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, I&#8217;ll begin by saying that I have not done much traveling around the United States. That being said, the Backpacker Magazine offered me a free PDF book called The Best Trails in America as part of purchasing my soul for their subscription. Gleefully, I obliged. The book contains quite a bit of information on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first attempt to find a good book on trail cooking was a book that seems to be all over the Internet regarding hiking and backpacking.  This book was Trail Food: Drying and Cooking Food for Backpacking and Paddling. I couldn&#8217;t really justify buying it new, and about the time I was going to search [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I received a small PDF handbook from the Backpacker magazine called &#8220;The Ultralight Handbook&#8221;. It&#8217;s a very good little book. I would say it&#8217;s one of the very few books that are 90% information and 10% fluff. The book reads quickly, with only 20 pages or so, but the tips and hints it gives [...]]]></description>
