In reply to Nick Gatel. My favorite stove reviews are “kitchen type” where the reviewer places the horribly tall and narrow (alcohol / wood) stove on a perfectly flat surface, inside – without any trace of wind, puts a huge pot on top of it barely balancing it, then starts his stopwatch app on iPhone.

In reply to Patrick Hill. thanks Patrick, made me laugh.. I'm still wearing my 1980s Columbia fleece with neon pink trimming.. works great at the dog park, and on top of a 13er (much less crowded than 14ers)..

My favorite are the stove reviews where the reviewer places the stove on a thick bed of dry leaves or other combustible material. I see that often.

Wait!! What do I need to buy? I missed it?

Good post. I’m blown away by how much used stuff sells for too.

You are so (cynical). I think that these reviews provide a (valuable service) to people with too much (money) who think that they need lots of (gimcracks) in order to spend time doing what they love in the great (REI). I for one would never buy a (folding titanium spork) without reading an (insipid) description of it’s (tensile) strength.
