My Grandma got us to switch to cast iron. All she will ever use. I like how once you get it warm you can turn it down and keep going. Also going camping, just toss it in lol. Hard to mess it up. Don't have to worry about someone using a metal utensil either.

Remind me not to go backpacking with you. I'd have to set up the whole camp while you wheezed your way up the mountain with your cooking gear.

I always carry a magnet stuck somewhere on my bike, in case I'm repairing something on the road and drop a screw, I can use the magnet to find it...

California Gender:	Re: DAILY HOT TIP Reply #110 - 03/11/09 at 09:18:49 I had topped off my oil last night and this morning noticed an awful clatter when I started up. Yep forgot to put the cap back on. But just before I put the cap back on noticed how well you can hear the chain clatter. So for those of you w/o stethoscope, remove the oil fill cap.

Clevis pins for the tool bag
Reply #112 - 04/29/09 at 06:52:45

While browsing the Harbor Freight catalog, I noticed Clevis pins, and thought that they would be a welcome addition to my tool bag: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94460.
I bought the 74 piece assorted set on sale for $11.99. Easy enough to figure out how these may come in handy on the road temporarily replacing bolts that may shake free while riding, like a foot peg bolt.
I'm throwing a small handful in my tool bag.

You mentioned that nylons under the jeans serve "several purposes." Besides helping to keep in warmth, what else do they do? Jennifer
