The Moon Cup is effectively a silicon cup that you place inside, like a tampon, that collects fluids, then, when required you take it out, wash it and re-use it. Once in place you cannot feel it at all. The Shewee is a moulded plastic funnel that provides women with a simple, private and hygienic method of urinating without removing clothes whilst standing AND sitting. |

| Primus PRIMUS EtaExpress™ Lightweight Compact Stove Aug-08 |
![[PRIMUS EtaExpress™ Lightweight Compact Stove5, 3 kb]](http://img.ukclimbing.com/t/94835.jpg "[PRIMUS EtaExpress™ Lightweight Compact Stove5, 3 kb]") The PRIMUS EtaExpress™ Lightweight Compact Stove" "I am going to come right out and say that this is a great compact lightweight auto ignition stove and pot system that is solidly built. It does the job well and it does it fast. It should be ideal for lightweight backpacking/camping, alpine bivis, leaving in the car/van for quick brews or as a backup/second stove when car camping. The heat exchanger and windshield mean that the stove is efficient and you need less fuel to cook your meal, important if on an extended trip in the mountains. It's small and light - 470g. Similar stoves: the MSR Reactor and Jetboil stoves." writes Chris Dainton. |
