What I saw in Backpacker Magazine that caught my eye:

1. The Victorinox Paracord Bracelet.....the ad claims the bracelet can be unraveled to provide a 10 ft. Cord that will hold up to 550 lbs.
has anyone on the WZ used one of these bracelets?

2. On the humorous side.....the same ad shows Andrew Skurka...an expert trekker who prides himself as knowing how to travel light....opening a can of Campbell's soup at camp...I wouldn't think of a can of soup being light in weight...sure would taste good though.....especially cream of celery or mushroom.
