This is a list of gear that I've decided not to take back out for various reasons.

• Camelbacks and bladders
  • Difficult to fill, drink too fast, sometimes leak.
• Zipoff Pants
  • Zippers irritate
  • Zippers not sown properly
• MIOX Purifying System
  • Too complicated for trail use
• Katadyn Purifying Water Bottle
  • It's like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose
• REI Quarterdome T1
  • Does not sit level
  • Small size creates condensation problems
• Trangia Alcohol Stove
  • Alcohol stoves take way too long to get anything done. It's a neat concept, but isn't practical.
