My Review of OMEGA Anti-Microbial Reservoir
Originally submitted at Rock Creek Outfitters
The advanced design of CamelBak's OMEGA Reservoir makes accessing and cleaning your reservoir easier than ever. An "easy-grip" ergonomic handle allows you to fill to the brim. Simply screw down the secure cap and you're "ready to roll."
Better Than The old one

Pros: Good Quality, Easy to Use, Lightweight, Compact
Cons: Difficult to Use
Best Uses: Hydration Packs, Running, Water Bottles, Hiking/Camping

Bought this to upgrade from my older Camelback. It is tasteless and easy to clean. I found the top a little hard to open sometimes. But aside from that no wet back!

A Boat in The Harbor @ St. Mary's
Cumberland Island Update
3 weeks ago I was invited on one of those once in a lifetime trips. Cumberland Island, GA. I was going with 3 veteran's and 2 other newbies like me. After the long drive from Dalton to St Mary's (the jumping off point for excursions to Cumberland Island) we settled into our hotel The Riverview. I highly recomend this place. Great food and a great little bar. We awoke early Sunday morning to a beautiful day and began to unload our gear for the ferry ride over (just across the street from the hotel). The Ferry ride only take about 45 minutes. Once on the island you grab some carts for your gear (for those camping at Sea Camp) and then head into the Ranger Station for a interpertion and campsite assignments (your name is called then you choose in the order your name was called). There is a cold water bath house and running water at Sea Camp. Once you hike the 1/2 mile to camp and get set up its time to explore! The Beaches, The Ruins, The Dunes, The Marshes, The Wildlife there is so much to see is amazing

What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven
I have used this product from the cold moutians of North Georgia to the coast. I have spent nights in the snow down to 15. To wet nights on the coast of Georgia when it dipped down to 20's and 30's Everyone else in our party froze, while I just zipped up and slept sug as a bug. I have not been cold in this bag yet, but I am warm sleeper. I generally just sleep in undies and a t shirt. This bag breathes well (I have never felt clammy) and dry's quickly. It is a little tight but that's what you get with a light weight bag. And the zipper snags every once and a while, but I have never really found one that does not. Like I said not really that big of a deal. It has some minor down leak, but no worse than my Western M bag. Plain and simple for the price you can not beat it. This bag out preforms many of the more expensive bags I tried out before this one.
