Review by C. Schwartz for Texsport Black Ice The Scouter Hard Anodized Cook Set Rating: Worked well over gas grill and stove. Lids are excellent, and clean-up is quite easy. Use wood or non-stick utensils to they don't scratch!
Certainly recommend.

Review by Vivian Mills for Texsport Black Ice The Scouter Hard Anodized Cook Set Rating: I bought this set because of it's compact size, and the promise that the pots would be easy to clean. Both promises were kept.
When we got back from the trip, I hated to "put them away, till next time," so I rescued them from storage, and put them to work in my not so tiny RV full-time home. They work well, and the flat bottoms and dark color seem to make all the cooking heat up faster, and cook with less heat used than with my regular pots.
The only problem the handles flip back and forth quite a
bit as I pick them up, and it would be great to have some sort of "lock" on them,so the handles would stay together while they are on the stove.

Review by K. Lantzy for Texsport Black Ice The Scouter Hard Anodized Cook Set Rating: I Love this set and have used it backpacking 3 times now. The nonstick surface works well. cooked eggs in the pan several times with easy clean up using a paper towel. I've found that the small pot is great for 1-2 people, and the large is good for 3 hungry college students. Have used it to cook for 4 and that worked well, but it was a very full pot. It is pretty lightweight but is not the lightest available.
Heating is quite even (much better than a plain aluminum cook set that I once used). Durability is awesome. It will hold up under normal use and it won't get deformed in a stuffed backpack. Buy it! You should be impressed unless you are the ultra-light backpacker type (if so, then you are looking for titanium cookware for $$$).

Review by G. ASH for Texsport Black Ice The Scouter Hard Anodized Cook Set Rating: This is a great cook set for one or two people. It was plenty big enough for my wife and me on our campouts. The pots seem strong with a good non-stick finish. I don't think the set would handle any more than two hungry campers though. I am very pleased with this set.

Review by Tactical Tradecraft for Lightload Towels (Two Pack12x12"hand Size), the Only Towels That Are Survival Tools Rating: The Lightload Towels are an excellent addition to your backpack or survival kit. They are extremely compact and do not take up any room in your gear. I found it to be very durable despite some of the other reviews who state that they are not much better than a regular paper towel. It is much more durable than a paper towel and it is very absorbent. I do not recommend putting them in a washing machine considering they are so inexpensive there is no reason to have to wash them.

Besides being a towel they have other useful purposes as well such as fire tinder, water filter, bandage, and good to clean eating utensils and pans.

The only potential drawback to using the Lightload Towels is that it takes water to activate the towel so that it will expand. If you are low on water then consider another option such as a bandana.

Overall, a great product that should be a part of your gear.

Review by C. S. Ethridge for Suisse Sport Adult Adventurer Mummy Ultra-Compactable Sleeping Bag Rating: i have never been good at repacking my sleeping bags. terrible in fact. then i bought this one. even i, a moron, can pack this bag. the compression bag is the reason. my nightmare is to not be able to get this back in my pack and have to hike it out by carrying it. but this bag is so easy. no worries. i'm 6ft. average build and i had plenty of room. really is good for 30 degrees. with the right wardrobe, maybe a little less. good price too.
