I love my Marmot Driclime Windshirt Jacket, whether it’s a shirt or jacket or whatever you want to call it, so I take it on just about every hike or backpacking trip that I’ve gone on since I bought it. I’ve had it about a year now and have worn it on about 6 backpacking trips. It’s great because it packs up very […]

MSR Hubba Tent
I’ve owned my MSR Hubba Tent for about a year and a half now and I’m very pleased with it. I use it mostly for Spring, Summer and Fall adventures because it is fairly thin material so I try not to use it for the Winter months because it costs a chunk of change. […]
Sawyer Squeeze Pouches Trail Shower Hang Handles Lanyard
I don’t know if anyone else out there has tried this but I used a leather punch to punch out the reinforced areas at the base of my Sawyer Squeeze Pouches.

But we hung in there and […]

I used some of this GEAR AID FREESOLE 1OZ KIT W/BLACK COLORANT on a pair of my boots that I had damaged, about a month ago and was so amazed at the end result that I had to write about it! It sets up like a solid piece of rubber and it’s durable as all get out. When I first began […]
I INSULATED THE HANDLES ON MY SNOW PEAK TITANIUM COOK SETS WITH DU-BRO TUBING!
CAUTION: I purchased some thinner Du-Bro tubing and installed it but it caught fire and totally burned to dust. In other words, be careful. I ran across a post in a forum awhile back that had some advice on insulating the handles on your Snow Peak pot handles with some Du-Bro 553 5/32″ Silicone Tubing. I […]
