The Loadout Room
Professional Gear Reviews
I’ve always been fascinated by the small island country that’s swimming distance from Key West. Tropical weather, warm water, beautiful women, cigars, Hemingway, and boat drinks — what’s not to like? And, to be honest, I’ve wanted to go for a while. I’ve wanted to visit before the massive invasion of pasty white baby-boomer Midwest-American […]
NEMO Equipment has always been know for pushing innovation in the outdoor industry. Check out the four NEMO products that travel in my pack 90% of the time.
Here at The Loadout Room you may have noticed a theme among our writing staff, we like to push our boundaries beyond what other people might consider normal. On these excursions, we love to test the limits of the equipment we get to demo and tell you about it. One major reoccurring concern we have […]
Went out this morning with Jordan McDougal. We’d been planning to run up to a solitary area that he knew about. He was going to show me a canyon that required some running and climbing to get into. First, I have to say that Jordan is fast. Second, he is nimble. Third, he makes it […]

The Hill People Gear Connor has been my day hiking pack since I reviewed it late last year. Reference my first impressions post for features and more pictures. Yes, I know I didn’t post a follow-up review on it. The initial post was more detailed than a typical “first look” would be and my view of […]
Hopefully winter is in the rear view mirror and spring right around the corner. With that in mind, it’s time to start thinking about warmer temperatures. Staying hydrated is important regardless of the season and Yeti has a cooler to haul your beverage of choice for every occasion. New for 2017 is a soft sided cube […]
Whether you’ve been hitting the books hard these last few months at school or putting in work at the office, you’re probably feeling like your next vacation can’t come soon enough. With spring right around the corner, now’s the time to treat yourself to a little break (or at least start planning for one). And […]
I recently went on a little weekend adventure with the dog, and although I thought it would have been a nice outing it turned out that I was up for a reminder of the very basics of any outdoor activity. I wanted to walk through the wooded areas near where I live, sort of like […]
