Explorer

I purchased my Explorer at a shop in Estes Park, CO, 4 years ago. My husband and I go annually and have never been disappointed. That summer, however, my fybromyalgia struck with a vengance. My regular cane simply wasn't giving me enough support to get off the main path and to go see my favorite spots. Alberta Falls for instance, is a lot of up and down, not level walking. I chose the Explorer because it was sturdy enough for my 230lb build, supportive enough with the different tips and adjustability… Full review

Rando X

If you don't like carrying extra weight, this simple straight forward pack is for you. It is well built. I have used this pack for 8 years of hard backcountry use and it has never let me down. It takes a little time to learn to organize your stuff but I carry all the required equipment for a long day in this pack. Hint:stuff your skins and lunch under the shovel in the front pocket. It is a little small for glacier travel and ski mountaineering but I still managed. Full review

Pit Boss

This shovel is light and unbreakable! I accidentally backed over the shovel head of mine with the car back in 2001 and I still have it in my back country pack ready to go for 2009-2010 season. I doubt an aluminum piece could make that claim. Simply unbeatable. If you know what Lexan plastic is you won't hesitate to get it. I even sharpen it with a file once in a while to keep it sharp for cutting snow easier. I really like the Life Link products for back country use, and recommend them to anyone… Full review

AT Superlight

Picked these babies up in Harper Ferry. Got them on closeout deal for about 75 dollars. Don't think there in production any longer. Kinda sad about this. I left my pair on Katahdin by accident during the ascent. Bummer. I guess they were my sacrifice to the Big Mountain God. Full review

Boundary Pack

The pack is basic and designed for emergency gear only, it's thin and small the way I think they should be for mountain snowmobiling. It's so thin I don't catch on branches when boodocking, and it's hardly noticeable. At the end of the day I do have a slight digging sensation near my right armpit that I can't adjust away but I'm built a little weird, my right leg is about an inch longer than my left so my back bends weird to accommodate that. I carry, shovel, probe, (all inside nothing outside)… Full review
