Thanks for this reminder. I used to take glucosamine about 14 years ago, when I was "young". My creeks weren't quite so bad, so I didn't think I missed it....
Preference? Yes and no. Pharmacologically, the hydrochloride is supposed to provide more bio-available glucosamine than the sulfate (by a factor of 2[!]). I...

I'm gradually building up my lightweight backpacking kit and could use some advice that would help me in purchasing a tarp. I see that OES offers custom size...
My concept is to shelter my kids in a single wall tent (we have a Zeus Exo) and to bring a tarp would serve several purposes: 1) overnight shelter for me -- I...
