BAD PLASTIC ! GOOD PLASTIC !


Recently we have all been hearing about good and bad plastics in water bottles ( and other stuff ) I am so confused on what PLASTIC I can drink out of! They say numbers 3, 6 and 7 and are BAD and that numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5 are GOOD. So here is my solution to you. As usual I did not find this my friend Steve did and passed it on to me ( give credit where credit is due ) I ordered a few from REI.com and really like them. They also come in different sizes.

Klean Kanteen with Loop-Top Cap


Durable, lightweight and without the nasty aftertaste of many bottles, the Klean Kanteen bottle with loop cap is a great companion on any adventure!

  • Made of tough stainless steel that is toxin-free and dishwasher safe
  • Bottle mouth is easy to drink from directly and is sized to accept ice cubes; polypropylene screw cap is easy to grip and seals tight to prevent leaks
  • Loop top lets you attach the bottle to a backpack or belt loop using a small, lightweight utility 'biner (sold separately)
  • Slim design fits neatly in standard sport bottle carriers and bicycle bottle cages
  • Please note: Klean Kanteens are single walled and are not intended for use with hot liquids

Kershaw Knives


As some of you may know, I like knives. I recently played with but have not yet purchased the new Kershaw E.T. knife ( I am waiting for my friend Steve to buy it; he buys all the fancy new knives). E.T. means External Toggle. It is a very interesting knife, not so practical, but still kinda cool.

The E.T. series features Kershaw's new External Toggle. The Toggle enables the user to open or close the blade with one hand, either right or left. With just a little practice it is fast and easy to use. And for extreme blade security, just fold the blade in, engage the E.T. safety, and the blade is secure no matter how or where you carry it. To take advantage of this fact, the E.T. also has a built-in carabiner function that enables you to clip it to a belt loop so the knife is always handy, yet with confidence that the blade can never accidentally deploy. The Sandvik 13C26 stainless steel blade provides durability and edge retention. The anodized aluminum handle makes the knife lightweight and easy to carry. And just because you never know when you're going to need one, the E.T. also includes a convenient bottle opener. Choose from two dramatic looks to suit your style: classic matte black or our "splattered" Urban Camo.
