Good qualities in carabiners I think I've bought 3 packs of the Neutrino biners for camping and other non-climbing uses. I'll never go back to those crappy "checkout aisle" impostor biners for clipping water bottles to my pack. |

Which stove fuel has best weight to bulk to heat ratio? The efficiency of all fuels with a similarly built stove are similar. I don't know if jetboil makes a liquid fuel version, but there is no physical reason you couldn't. Better heat exchangers are independent of fuel used. |

What equipment do I need as a beginner outdoor rock climber? @Ryley: I agree you need to have a good idea what you are doing when you start. However, the question focuses on "stuff" that you buy from the store, rather than knowledge you need to know. Someones gotta have a rope when you go out there. And there are sport climbs that leave quickdraws and anchors in the rock for people to use, where all they need is the stuff I listed. And the competant belaying friend can teach you what to do. |

How can I be absolutely sure my fire is safely extinguished? Depends on where and when. Some places and seasons, open fireplaces are instant citations, in other places and seasons it can be a challenge to even intentionally start a forest fire. |
