These Boots are Made for Walkin'

How we choose our footwear and lacing for comfort.

Got a pair of shoe or boot, tried in the shoe shop it fits just perfect but when hiking uphill and downhill it was not so perfect after all. 

Many failed to realize the comfort of the shoe when walking depends in how we buy the right size shoes / boots and how we lace them. 

Petzl PIXA 3 Headlamp

Petzl has always been our choice head lamps, with the latest 2011 released of the PIXA series for professional, I have decided to get one due to the nature of my work, the PIXA 3 headlamp that is rated for use in explosive and hazardous environment. 

DIY Heat Reflector cum Windshield

During the last overnight MTB camping trip, I tried using the DIY mini-windshield with the Alpine Stove and it was not very effective. The strong wind was blowing from all directions and the flame from the stove was not very constant. I decided to reconstruct another windshield that can improve the fuel efficiency yet it does not take up space and can be packed with the cookset. The end result, it provides maximum coverage against the wind, the windshield will also act as a heat reflector and improve the cooking time.
