Zephyr 2 Tent Review






Reviewing the Zephyr 2 tent made by Alps Mountaineering. Purchased mine about 1.5-2 years ago and have enjoyed the tent. Does have some drawbacks to it, but certainly drawbacks I can either remedy or live with. Comes with sealed seams and urethane-coated fly and floor. Two alloy aluminum poles (and one small one for stability) with a clip to tent system help to set up quickly (does have small portion of the ol' sleeve for the poles. However only 1.5 to 2 feet worth). All mesh sides help for great ventilation. But where I go I always have the fly on as one never knows when the moisture will roll in overnight and very suddenly. Price at this point is pretty good. Just a quick search online came up with prices from 0 - 0. Not bad at all and I have no problems recommending the tent, especially at that price. I paid more for mine when it first came out...honestly I would jump all over this tent for 0.

Police in the US have used pepper spray against students taking part in an 'Occupy' campaign at the University of California. Demonstrators had been ordered to remove their camp, but after refusing, officers showed up and tore their tents down. Public activist Axel Caballero says the more the authorities try to silence the protesters voices, the more powerful those voices become. RT on Twitter twitter.com RT on Facebook www.facebook.com

Hilleberg Soulo Tent Review






I review the Hilleberg Soulo four season tent in a heavy rain and snow shower. This is a great one person tent for those looking for a very robust shelter. Buying gear through the store helps support my work: www.crawlingroad.com Thanks!

Hilleberg Akto Tent Review






I review the Hilleberg Akto tent in a cold wet environment. This is my favorite solo tent except when I'm expecting heavy snow (then I take the Hilleberg Soulo). At 3.5lbs, the Akto is a true four season shelter that can withstand very bad weather while keeping you dry and safe. If you like this video, consider purchasing some of the gear featured from my Amazon store. It has all been personally tested by me and I know it works: www.crawlingroad.com

Total RPG Craft - A Minecraft Mod Review






Link: www.minecraftforum.net This mod is amazing. Pure genius. This guy wins the internet :3 Basically, you level up, gain the ability to craft things, mine things, and in the end actually feel like you've earned it. It takes a manly man to be able to look at a vein of 8 diamond, with this mod on, and take it on the chin when they realise their mining is only level 15. I feel that this should be implemented into Beta 1.8, or at least something similar to this, despite the fact Jeb said ,in response to, 'Will you make: golems, tents, elevators, emotes, more food, critters, dragons, class-levelling system and unicorns?' 'Uhm... more food, yes, the other stuff, unlikely'. (twitter.com









Haiti may soon find itself in the path of a storm taking shape in the eastern Atlantic Ocean, as it moves farther into its own rainy season. Weather forecasters say that Tropical Storm Gaston could become a hurricane and threaten the island by next week. Haitian officials say a direct hit from a major storm could have catastrophic consequences on the population, thousands of whom are still living in makeshift tents after January's earthquake. Al Jazeera's Sebastian Walker reports from Port-au-Prince. (Sept 05, 2010)
