Professional Gear Reviews
I am excited for Spring to fully arrive. I plan on doing some overnight hikes with Loki (my dog), and my son Cole. Recently I wrote about my top ten overnight hike essentials, but what if you plan on bringing your kid? It was an interesting process to start finding some gear for my son. There […]
When my family goes camping we like to take a mini-bbq which runs off of a small propane tank with us. This is great if we have the room in our vehicle, and we plan on driving right up to our campsite. When I am hunting I usually leave this bbq at home because there […]
Truck Camping 101 | Part 4 | Comfortable Sleeping – Tepui Tents Kukenam Sky Once in a while, you come across an item that is a game changer. As much as I like to spend time in the outdoors, for my wife, sleeping on the ground never appealed to her. To be honest, I’m in […]
Since 1975, Petzl — the company — has been building products stemming from generations of family exploration and mountaineering experience. While they have developed many product categories such as climbing harnesses, helmets, packs, and countless other devices and accessories — to me they are most known for their affordable and impeccable headlamps.

This is an absolutely awesome mug that every coffee lover should have. The 20oz mug is durably crafted, featuring a double […]
The Survivor Filter is a great piece of gear for any outdoor adventure, vacation, or emergency preparedness kit. Most people are surely familiar with popular water filter brands that are in a similar price range, but what I feel sets Survivor Filter apart from the rest is the ruggedness and durability of the product. The […]
The Survivor Filter PRO is a great high-volume water purification option for your outdoor adventure, vacation, or emergency preparedness kit. While it may have more moving parts than the traditional water filter “straw” and therefore will be more prone to breaking and requiring more maintenance, the mission of getting a large amount of water cleaned […]
