Kindle Paperwhite Review

By Anonymous
The Kindle Paperwhite is an e-reader that is made by Amazon. I bought the kindle last year. I read a lot and have used the Kindle for a good portion of my reading since I bought it. The backlight makes it easier to read in the dark and in low light situations. The backlight is adjustable so that you can have your kindle screen perfectly lighted wherever you are. The amazon page for the kindle boasts a screen without glare but in my experience the screen does glare when in areas with a lot of light. The screen does take away some of the glare but an annoyingly large amount of light reflects off of the screen. When you are reading a book there are options to show page number, location, time remaining in book, etc. However, I rarely use these options to keep the screen distraction free. One wish I have for the kindle is that amazon would make it possible to display the clock when you are reading a book. This feature would be useful so that you don't have to bring up the tool bar on screen in order to know the time. The kindle also is able to read books from your library's collection of ebooks. It is very easy to transfer library books because all you have to do is click borrow on the library page and then click send to kindle. The book then appears on your kindle when you connect to Wi-Fi. All in all, the kindle is a great device and is easy to use.

    Great post! I have a Kindle Paperwhite and love it! I agree with the things that could be better. Good picture too. Maybe find a picture to show scale?

    Although I do not own A Kindle Paperwhite, you make a very compelling reason for me to get one.

Petzl Adjama Harness Review

By Anonymous
     I recently purchased this harness and used it at EVO Rock and Fitness. This harness is meant for mountaineering and ice climbing but it works fine when sport climbing as well. While I was using the harness, I climbed a few top-rope climbing routes with grades from 5.6 to 5.11 and boulder problems* from VO to V4. The harness was less constricting and allowed for a wider range of motion than all of the other harnesses I have used in the past. Even though people usually remove their harness before bouldering, I decided that because this harness did not restrict my range of movement that I would leave it on. There was no difference between bouldering with this harness on and bouldering with this harness off. There are also many other cool features on this harness. The gear loops for hanging climbing gear (Quickdraws, carabiners, slings, cams, bolts, extra rope, etc.) are filled with hard plastic in the front of the harness so that it is easy to reach your climbing gear. ...

Winter Camping Tips

By Anonymous
Even if you have gone camping many times before (Like me) you should listen to these tips (I didn't and was very cold last weekend). 1. Make sure ALL your gear fits you. I hadn't used my cold weather sleeping bag in about a year before I used it this weekend. It was too small and my shoulders didn't fit in the sleeping bag. 2. DO NOT USE a survival blanket (Like the one I reviewed) unless you are really in a survival situation. I did and my sleeping bag was very wet for the entire weekend. 3. Bring microspikes or a similar kind of crampon. I actually remembered these on my trip and almost everyone else on the trip didn't. I was able to walk on the ground (A huge sheet of ice) without slipping. 4. Have a mummy bag style sleeping bag for winter camping. These are a lot better for winter because they have a hood to go over your eyes. If you go camping a lot you will generally have 2 types of sleeping bags, a mummy bag for cold weather and a different one for warm summ...

Deuter ACT Zero 50+15

By Anonymous
I was given this pack 2 years ago for christmas and have used it on countless trips since. This pack has a lot of room for gear but the pack it self weighs very little. The top part of the pack can be removed and turned into a small summit pack. I use that feature when I want to bring a daypack but don't want to have to bring a whole new pack. This pack is also compatible with most hydration reservoirs. This is a very high quality pack and my only complaint is the lack of sleeping pad/tent straps (This feature is added in the newer version of the pack.) Some pics I took of the pack: The front of the pack without the top on  The back of the pack without the top on The top of the pack converted to the summit pack The back of the pack with the top on
