ARE YOU KIDDING?????? YEs, if it can stop a bear, what do you think? lol. Pepper spray for humans has no range at all and small pattern, people are now carrying bear spray becuase of how much it puts out

@@mikegrazio5376 Thanks, but when I asked the company, they replied with the opposite answer.

same

Yeah. I tested this stuff in my yard and made the same mistake. It will F you up

@@timetowakeup6302 What's the shelf life of that spray and if it's not used will the waker version act as bad?

@@JasonSpitzMI50 3 years I believe

@@timetowakeup6302 Well I guess if it's not used in 3 years, one really didn't have a bear problem 🤭.

I have! It's not very enjoyable...

I have found that they are pretty finicky breaking in. Mine are good now after quite a bit of use but they still leave me a touch sore. No blisters, however.

That is the Evernew Titanium Pasta Pot. I have both the 1 liter and .75 liter sizes. They are great but pricey!

Karol, I would not use them for daily city use. They are great boots but do not have enough flexibilty or insulation to be a comfortable daily boot in the city.

Update question: did you survive or did you die?

What was your old coworkers friends name who died?

It's a B2 boot which is designed with a much stiffer sole for use with crampons while climbing. A B1 boot is more insulated than your average boot for winter walking and takes a flexible C1 type crampon. It will jave much more flex than the Crow. If you like salewa check out the mountain trainer mid gtx.

I would not use these for Rainier. No insulation is a bad way to go on a mountain that can get pretty cold at times.

Ahhhh, you're american. Yes, you would struggle to understand that water has a weight which can be measured. Would you prefer comparisons to sauce or liquid cheese?

@@geckolor -Aaah you’re a little 2nd or 3rd world marxist. Ignorant of the ways things were measured previously Fluid ounces for example. Do you measure your height in millimeters? Do you tell time or mark calendars by meters or grams? Tell us.

@@duncanidaho2097 I know its time to leave b4 youre done drinking your nacho sauce.

@@duncanidaho2097 You're incorrect. As usual.

Of course, we measure in stone. That’s how it’s done. If you’re old school.

I would go with the Windmaster for a couple of reasons. Bike touring is not as subjective to a few extra grams of weight and the difference in space between the two is quite negligible. The Windmaster will put the pot closer to the burner head and make for better control of the temp in your pot/pan if there's any breeze. I would also use the 4 prong support to give you more stability for bigger pans. And finally I would pick up a stove stand that clips the the base of the fuel canister such as MSR's three prong folding stand.

@@ArmchairOutdoors Thanks for the advice! I like the Windmaster's wider, more stable pot support and the wider burner head, but wasn't sure if having the its burner closer to the pan would cause a worse hotspot in the center of the fry pan, or if there was any difference in how low the stoves can get at their lowest setting.

@@isaacmoyer5266 You bet! There is a little bit more risk of getting a hot spot at the center with the Windmaster but not too much as the flame really does spread out nicely. I have found that the pan material is important in this regard though. For my thin single layer stainless cookware, I tend to get hot spots in the center. With a little bit thicker cookware this helps mitigate the problem. To be fully honest, I would rather risk a little bit of a hotspot than to see my meal end up in the dirt because of a pot stand that was undersized! :) And as for how low they can regulate themselves they are both good. But again I would give the edge to the Windmaster.

Fox Labs is where it’s at.

I’ll have to take a look again and see if I mention the tincture of benzoin. The tincture of benzoin is a topical use item for skin but it really helps when you need moleskin to stick better. Tincture of benzoin should not be consumed nor is it similar to iodine. However, I have purchased iodine before as water treatment and thought of also using it for its antiseptic qualities. The issue is that I don’t know if the iodine used in water treatment is the exact same as iodine used as an antiseptic. I personally think it’s a pretty good idea but I would make sure you do some research or consult a physician first. Thanks!

I own the BRS and the Soto Windmaster and I like them both. The quality of the Soto is much better and so is the flame control but the BRS is just so light.

I'm the same ...stuck at the pretzel knot

lol

It varies a bit with each brand but roughly 4-5 seconds with a 7.9 oz can.

Yes it is! One of my favorite leads and such a sweet climb. :)

I personally wouldn't use them as a dedicated winter boot. In a pinch and if I truly had to go light and fast then I might. But if there is any potential for weather colder than about 20-30 degrees Fahrenheit there is no way I would want to make this my summit boot.
