Hi For those interested, BackpackGearTest.org has completed the following product tests during October 2005. These tests are undertaken for no monetary gain by BackpackGearTest.org and are undertaken in the field by backpackers (hikers, trampers, bushwalkers) normally over a six month period . The tester, upon completing the reporting requirements gets to keep the gear at the end of the test. Just click on the link to be taken to the test reports.

Oh dear... I hope your post isn't taken as an invitation by spammers trying to sell Pepsi-can stoves. All types of plans for Pepsi-can stoves can be found at no cost if one does an internet search.

My post was sarcasm.. if you look at this stove its a US$30 titanium pepsi-can stove. My reference to pepsi-can was implying the 'can-be-had-for-nix" aspect of the design.

Yes, but where can you buy a titanium pepsi can? :-) Anyhow, that's what BGT is all about: testing new gear to see if it matches the hype. Some of the gear tested by BGT is excellent: I have some Vermont Darn Tough Socks on test, and yeah, they are good! Cheers Roger Caffin
