Eagle Creek and Target Compression Sack Review

  • Posted on July 28, 2011 at 10:37 pm

For some travelers, compression sacks are an easy way to save space and organize gear. Simply fold up your clothes, place them inside, seal the zip-lock top, and then roll the bag (from the top) to force out the air inside. While this works best with bulky, puffy clothing, compressions sacks are still a great way to keep your clothes clean and dry while on the road. Highly recommended. For home storage of bulky items (comforters, blankets, sleeping bags, etc.), the Space Saver Bags from Target are a cheap way to keep these items clean and compact. Sold by Target (3-pack, Large size, 21.5×33.5 inches/54.6x85cm, MSRP $12.99) For Heavy use while traveling, I would opt to pay more and get a more durable compression sack from Eagle Creek. You only need one so make it a good one. Available at REI and online. Medium (15.5×24.5in./39.4×62.2cm, MSRP $10) Large (17.5×28.5in./44.5×72.4cm, MSRP $12) X-Large (27.5×38.5in./69.9×97.8cm, MSRP $20) 2-pack (M+L) (MSRP $20) 3-pack (S+M+L) (Small Size measures 11x16in./27.9×40.6cm, MSRP $26) This video was shot with a Canon G9 on loan.

eat!sleep?bikes! – 2006 Furnace Creek 508

  • Posted on July 28, 2011 at 10:43 am

There is nothing funny about a 508-mile, non-stop bicycle race through Death Valley, but for these Los Angeles riders fun is a priority. Powered by burritos and fighting sleep deprivation the four attempt to become the first fixed gear team to race the Furnace Creek 508. Eat!Sleep?Bikes! follows them as they trade in messenger bags and U-locks for brakes and spandex to take on the ‘toughest 48 hours in sport’. Along the way we learn about their obsession with bikes and veganism, living in Los Angeles without a car and promiscuous chimpanzees. NOW ON SALE! www.myspace.com/eatsleepbikes

Johnson Creek, Idaho – Lessons learned from my first trip

  • Posted on February 21, 2011 at 11:11 pm

JOHNSON CREEK, IDAHO (3U2), East of McCall, ID Airplane Camping Checklist 6/29/96 (with some images from later trips) GENERAL NOTES: Unless extended overnight hiking away from the airport is on the agenda, do not use backpacks with pack frames: The rigid geometry makes it difficult to stow them into the baggage compartment of a Cessna 182 without scratching the rear window. Instead, use soft duffle bags or cardboard boxes that allow full use of baggage area volume. Johnson Creek has a 150′ wide by 3400′ irrigated sod runway with parking right in front of the campsites at the sides of the runway. The campsites all have fire rings, briquette type barbecues and picnic tables. Firewood is provided; the caretaker will even lend you his ax to chop it up. Pit toilets are relatively new and clean. There is power, so there are hot showers (well, warm showers), and there are a couple of small bunk houses in case really bad weather forces you to seek some solid refuge (a weather surprise is not that uncommon, and since there is no telephone, the only weather briefings come from recently arrived pilots which means that VFR only and even IFR pilots sometimes have to stay a few days longer than planned waiting for a launch window). There is no fee for all this, but donations are accepted…and we did! We departed late Sunday morning. With 15 degrees of flaps and soft field procedure we didn’t break ground until we had used up almost 2000′ of runway. I kept the airplane in ground effect …
