The MSR Reactor Stove boils water faster than you can get your coffee out of your pack and into the coffee press. With other stoves I've used in the past, it takes much longer to boil the same amount of water. MSR claims it takes 3 minutes for the Reactor Stove to boil 1 liter of water, and I wouldn't argue with that.

The K2 Work Stinx is one of the most popular tele skis. And for a good reason. It's a great all round ski that you can ski at the resorts and in the backcountry. The K2 rep told me a they sell to a lot of ski patrollers. She also explained that the ski has 2 different radius sidecuts in the front and in the back. The shorter front radius help initiate your turn and the longer radius helps hold the ski in the turn.

It's that time of the year, when biking has to go indoors. As you all know, there are a number of trainers out there. I picked the 1up trainer because it was rated very highly by users of mtbreview.com, it looked study enough for a mountain bike, and 1upusa is a small company from Wisconsin.
