Lightweight Mummy Bags Just for Women!

I like that Eureka! has taken the time to consider that women who love to camp and hike need a sleeping bag made just for them and Eureka! has done something about it. Eureka! has produced the Woman’s Silver City and Casper sleeping bags, specifically patterned to fit a woman’s body. The Silver City and Casper mummy bag is cut narrower in the shoulder section and has a more generous cut in the hip area. The woman’s Silver City sleeping bag is rated at +30F, the carry weight is 2lbs. which is very lightweight and has a space saving compression sack that packs down the ultra performance sleeping bag to a small size. This excellent sleeping bag also comes in 2 lengths, more short to average height women will enjoy the regular length while taller women will want the long length. The woman’s Casper sleeping bag is rated at +15F, the carry weight is 2lbs. 12ozs. which is also lightweight. The carrying weight difference in the long length vs. the regular length of the Silver City and Casper sleeping bags are just a few ozs. Both the Silver City and Casper sleeping bag have an inside stash pocket that is a perfect for an MP3 player.

Women who love camping, hunting, hiking, kayaking or any outdoor activity that demand the best out of their outdoor sleeping gear, will appreciate the quality of Eureka! women’s Silver City and Casper ultra performance sleeping bags for years to come.

Cleaning Your Camp Stove

Improve Flame and Fuel Efficiency in Your Camp Stove

Camp stoves need to be cleaned regularly to keep them working properly. There is nothing more disappointing than wanting to cook a meal and your camp stove won’t light or the burners are so plugged up it takes forever to cook anything.

Wipe out your camp stove with warm water and dishwashing soap or a foaming stove cleaner to clean splattered grease and food debris; dry thoroughly after rinsing to prevent rusting. For heavy grease build up or boil over you will want to disassemble the burners to deep clean them, an old toothbrush works great for cleaning camp stove burners that are plugged from a boil over. If you get water in the manifold make sure you dry it thoroughly rust will prevent the fuel from flowing to the burner properly. You will want to lubricate the pump cup or any parts that get lubricated with a machine oil 2 times a year. Store your camp stove in a sealed plastic bag when you are not using it, this will keep your stove dry, clean from dust and crawly critters. Take care of your camp stove and it will take care of you when you need it the most.
