guppie01 0 #9 July 13, 2009 QuoteHeh... there is a support group. It's called "REI" LOL Crap, I completely forgot about my packs (1 full pack, 2 small), hydration (2 packs & 3 bladders, 1 fanny), n water filters (2) I'm jealous of the jetboil... I eye it every time I'm at REI, but I just can't justify the cost - my pocket stove works so well. REI is a VERY dangerous place for Steve & I.... we're like little kids in a candy store...
