PACE Lid Kickstarter Reboot

Monday, February 15th, 2016

Last month, we told you about the crowdfunding project, PACE Lid by designer Chris Way. Before the project was completed, Chris found an investor to help defray the costs of the mold so he relaunched on Kickstarter.

I still like the project and have once again backed it. PACE stands for Primary, Alternate, Contingency and Emergency. That’s exactly what this patent pending lid, for wide mouth Nalgene, MSR, and Klean Canteen bottles, is designed for. It’s a storage option for a wide variety of items including first-aid, survival and spare keys.

SHOT Show – Yeti Coolers

Friday, January 22nd, 2016

Yeti has introduced three new kitchen-grade steel bottles.

Offered in 18, 36 and 64 oz models, the cap handles are large enough to get multiple fingers in for carriage. Additionally, they’ve introduced a double gasket system that keeps the liquid for days. This isn’t a backpacker’s bottle. It’s designed for working folks who normally destroy gear. Look for these mid-Spring.

The softsided Hopper is now available in a 40 quart version. A perfect pair for use with it, is the Yeti ice. It’s shatter proof, packs efficiently, is colder and lasts longer than traditional ice. Plus, it’s reusable.

Soylent The Wonder Food, Not So Wonderful

Sunday, January 3rd, 2016

Just at the close of 2015, I was “voluntold” to try out Soylent, the meal replacement beverage. That’s a pretty common occurrence around SSD. Anything that is faddish or sketch; I’m the Guinea pig. Soylent is a powder that is mixed in water, which is formulated to be nutritionally complete; a single bag provides 2000 calories for a full day’s use. It also shares a name with the subject of that classic 1970s dystopian flic. While its referred to as a “wonder food” the taste was anything but wonderful.

My first taste was like eating liquidized paper, as in, it tasted like printer paper smells, with a creamy consistency. As I kept trying it, I kind of… ‘got used to it’, but there was never a point where I found it completely palatable. For me, the taste shifted from “liquidized paper” to “liquid bread” as I kept drinking it, which was better, but also still pretty disconcerting. I realize there are people who have transitioned completely to Soylent for their day-to-day nutrition, but for me, it’s a last resort option.

The clip below summarizes my feelings about Soylent completely:
