Written by Timothy Giilck
Published on March 28, 2012
LF_22oz_RedRound_FTC

There’s no need to water down the rave reviews of the new offering from Lifefactory.

When the company offered me a chance to try out their new reusable toxin-free glass water bottles I jumped at the chance. While adequate hydration … Continue reading →

Gear Review: Dahlgren Socks

Written by Timothy Giilck
Published on March 28, 2012

Something’s afoot at Dahlgren’s, and the plot (and socks) are thickening.

The American-based company has become a master of wool-gathering, and your feet will thank you for it.

Written by Ryan Alford
Published on March 17, 2012
DSC08685

Think of the Thermal Bar like a base layer for your body’s core – worn on the inside, so to speak.  This one-of-a-kind, healthy energy bar does more than provide a much-needed boost before, during and after a nice snowshoe … Continue reading →

Sure, enjoying the splendors of the great outdoors is therapeutic for the body and soul. But if you are ill equipped or unprepared, doing so can be less than relaxing, if not downright terrifying. The first step to ensure preparedness … Continue reading →

Evolution of the Wheel: Osprey Shuttle 22-inch Roller Bag

Written by Stephanie Nitsch
Published on March 13, 2012
Osprey Shuttle 22 inch/40 liter Wheelie Bag

Nothing quite like a painless and hassle-free TSA experience to set the wanderlust in motion. Although, more literally, a good set of wheels puts things into motion just fine. Unlike the majority of airport patrons, I’ve resisted owning any wheeled … Continue reading →

Horny Toad I-Glove

‘Tis the season for spring weather and fewer layers of clothing, but winter hasn’t totally disappeared from our lives yet. Just this past weekend, I opted to ditch the snowy mountain town in favor of the first camping trip of … Continue reading →

A Land Flowing with HoneyMilk

Written by Ryan Alford
Published on March 8, 2012

keenrevel1

The snow conditions haven’t been kind to snowshoers this season. That’s no secret. For those lucky enough to have snow, they had to creative with finding the right trail.

My story for the 11/12 season is no different: I had … Continue reading →

Gear Review: Polarmax Base Layers

Written by Timothy Giilck
Published on March 6, 2012
PMX_M_Double_base_layer_Crew_indigo

When it comes to staying comfortable out on the trail, my objective is likely a little different than many people’s. I need to play it cool, rather than keep it warm, and I had some success during a recent trial … Continue reading →

Gear Review and Giveaway: Aussie Dogs Styler Boots

Written by Whitney Dreier
Published on March 4, 2012
Cocoa
