Lizzy Tex Borden's

I had an extra day off of work and so I decided to go

to a store that I had been wanting to go to for years.

I don't know why I haven't gone until now... no idea.

REI, or Recreational Equipment, Inc for those of us in

the know. Actually, I had to look that up. Great store and

I bought a few things that I have had on my Amazon Wish

List for a few years. Things I could not find in stores locally.

Their prices seem to be about normal, except for knives.

Stores like this es muy loco when it comes to knife prices.

No bueno.

Number one item I purchased today would be this

canister stand for my MSR Pocket Rocket.

This is a pretty compact little gadget and will go a long

way towards stabilizing the little stove.

These canisters can be a little unstable depending on

the size of the pot placed upon the stoves attached

to them. But this stand has some wide legs and

it seems like it will work out great.

 

 

Number two score for today is this Snow Peak

Trek 900 Titanium cook set.

This is a total luxury item for me. Nothing that I HAD to have.

I've just always wanted to have one for the cool and fun factor.

It is so light it is unbelievable. It is very popular with camper/hikers

into "ultra light" accessories. These folks are into counting every little

ounce and shaving their loads down to nothing. I am not about that.

The little cover can be used as a fry pan (not very practical, but

COOL). I will use it mostly as a cover for the pot as it speeds up

the boiling/cooking process.

I cannot wait to get out and break these guys in and learn what they

can do. REI is about a two hour round trip for me, but now that

I know where it is, I will be back.

And guess what....

I found another Little Caesar's Pizza!!! ANOTHER one.

This is just crazy, man. There are a bunch of these places.
