GoLite Shangri-La 2 Tent - Cool ultra light 2 person tent.
I have only recently started taking a liking to the minimalist type shelters like the GoLite Shangri-La 2 Tent. It wasn’t that I was against them, it was just that if I wanted to save weight, I would rather use a backpacking hammock like the Hennesy Hammock rather than a simple lightweight tent. While these backpacking hammocks are great i

Big Agnes Salt Creek 2 Tent - A green tent that is actually white.
When it comes to green and eco friendly tents, the Big Agnes Salt Creek 2 Tent pretty much takes the cake. There is almost nothing on this backpacking tent that isn’t recycled or constructed in the most eco friendly way possible. But, you don’t have to take my word for it. The Big Agnes Sal

Keen Womens Whisper Sandals - Updated version of the Keens.
Love them or them, the Keens style of water shoe/sandal is popular among a large number of those who enjoy the outdoors. While I am not particularly a fan of the Keen style shoes, that doesn’t mean they aren’t a good shoe exploring the outdoors. In fact, I know many people who swear by them. I even know a fe

REI Signal Peak Soft-Shell Jacket - Great price for a great jacket.
Most of the time I wold prefer a soft shell jacket over a fleece jacket. Sure, there are times when a fleece jacket is perfect, but to me, soft shell jackets seem to be a lot more versatile than your basic fleece. The only problem is that all the really good soft shell jackets are super expensive. Most o

REI Grand Tour Travel Pack - Extremely Affordable Travel Pack
Love them or hate them, travel packs are a well thought out piece of travel gear. However, some people just don’t like them. They would rather travel with their old backpack than a piece of gear that been specially designed for traveling and vagabonding. I kind of understand this to some degree, as some travel packs are designed as a piece of luggage first and backpack second. Thes

The North Face Fulcrum 35 Pack - Multi sport daypack.
I enjoy the long two week plus backpacking trips just as much as the next guy. Unfortunately I don’t have time in my life to take extended hikes like that on a regular basis anymore. I tend to do a lot of intense over nighters or weekend hikes. Because most of my outdoor trips are short in length and time,

Gregory Alpinisto 50 Pack - Great load distribution.
I just recently was exposed to the Gregory Alpinisto 50 Backpack is was pretty impressed with what I learned about. I haven’t had a chance to try out this pack first hand, but if its features work as well as they are described to, the Gregory Alpinisto 50 Backpack should be a pretty cool pack. While the pack is designed as a climbin

REI Half Dome 4 HC Tent - Light and affordable four person tent.
Picking out the perfect multi person backpacking tent can be tricky. One major factor that always haunts the cheapskate in me is the price of four person tents. If I am the only one paying for a tent that numerous other people will be using, I don’t really want to spend too much on the tent.
