Osprey Aether 85
A tough bag packed with clever features for both summer and winter use. This is a great bag! I have used the Osprey Aether on several big trips…
Trangia 25-6 UL
While there are plenty of discussions about how to lighten the load, I found the extra weight of this 'system' well worth it. I don't take the…
Scarpa Force X
Great entry level to intermediate shoe, as well as a wonderful all-day multi-pitch choice for the more experienced climbers. Very comfortable…
Patagonia P26 Mid
Super lightweight and the most comfortable/supportive trail boot I've worn. Definitely the choice for multi-day backpackers. I got these boots…
GoLite Z -10 Four-Season
A spectacular sleeping bag. Packable, light, and unbelievably warm. In every review I try to find good things and bad things to say. I had a…
Trailspace Trail Runner Cap
So light you'll forget it's there. Yes, I'm gushing over this hat because it was a prize. BUT this really is a great hat for ultralight backpacking.
CMI Rescue Rack
My "go-to" rappel device. I have bounced many pits on this rack, and it's still going strong. There are different kinds of racks on the market.
Osprey Atmos 35
Outstanding performer especially for those who prefer a breeze across their back. I continue to watch the newer Ospreys, but this Atmos 35 is…
Petzl Shunt
Unnecessary, "psychological" backup. I was terrified of rappelling and ascending ropes 14 years ago. So I bought the Shunt as a "back up" in…
Soto Pocket Torch
Replacement for matches and other lighters. Bought this lighter at REI over a year ago. Read where it only uses "square" lighters (Scripto).
Primus Litech Trek Kettle
This amazing little stove pot is compact enough for the average backpacker and gives versatility to the beginners out there. Amazing for its…
Ibex Hooded Indie
Perhaps the single finest piece of outdoor gear I own. I recently returned from an overnight snowshoeing trip in Colorado. I got a very late…

Kelty Crestone 1
Love this tent. Bulletproof. Affordable. This tent is probably my favorite backcountry piece of gear I own. It is very easy to set up. It…
Black Diamond ATC
Belayed thousands of people on this tube. This belay tube device does exactly what it's intended to do for a great price. I have been using…
Therm-a-Rest Original Z-Lite
Better than I thought it would be! I got sick of slow leaks in my sleeping pads and decided to give the Therm-a-Rest Z-lite a try. It is about…
Katadyn Hiker
Reliable and easy to use. I bought one of these water filters about 10 years ago. It was PUR brand but is exactly like the Katadyn Hiker version.
Eagles Nest Outfitters RestNest
Good quality hammock, but a bit on the small size. I know it is listed as a discontinued item, but the RestNest has been selling on some of…
Smith Lockwood
Great glasses! Nice lenses, lightweight, durable, good price. Great sunglasses for a great price. I chose the black frames and am happy with…
Asolo FSN 95 GTX
The go-to shoes when not wearing my work boots to work. Wear almost every day I'm not working. I work 6 months a year so they get a lot of use.
Lowa Uplander Desert
This boot has a flexible albeit stable footbed that offers the lightness of a traditional jungle boot with the comfort only Lowa can produce.
GSI Halulite Minimalist Cookset
This is a great lightweight cook set, if you have the right type of stove to accommodate the small 4.2 inch diameter. I have recently discovered…
NEMO Rhapsody 15
Nice down bag, spoon-shaped innovation. This is a cool down bag, and allows you to move inside, even pulling knees up. It may not warm up like…
Macpac Minaret
A sturdy four-season tent, lightweight and pretty much bomb proof. Integral pitch design makes it a snap to get up in any sort of weather, but…
Nike ACG Air Umara
Not the best hiking boots in the world, but they are easy to break in and keep your feet relatively comfortable... That is until they start…
The North Face Rock 22
Easy and fast to set up. Great design with two doors and two vestibules. The tent is easy to set up with three (very high quality, lightweight)…
Teva Katavi
This is by far my favorite sandal, and one of my favorite footwear pieces in general. It fits my slightly wide feet perfectly and the straps…
MSR Dromedary Bags
I bought 6L bag. I always use it when I go to hike a mountain. I think this bag is great and amazing as a water storage in my tent. I use it…

GSI Halulite Ketalist Cookset
Great little cookset for those who are NOT backwoods gourmets. I only cook freeze-dried meals when hiking and backpacking. The Ketalist is perfect…

Mountain House Beef Stroganoff
I love the taste, but the ingredient list is as long as my...arm. I don't often eat Mountain House (MH) foods because I find them to be too…

Everyone should have a base layer like this!! I never thought I would ever spend $50+ on a base layer. I am glad I did!! I have used this…

The Vasque is a lightweight boot with sufficient mesh for ventilation. It is comfortable out of the box but the flexibility provided by the…
REI Sahara Shirt

REI Half Dome 2 Plus
Floor size is 98 x 56 inches. This tent is an excellent choice for taller people. I am 6'2" and have plenty of length. It is a breeze to set…
Yaktrax Pro
Compact devices ideal for established packed snowy trailways. I had meant to write this review back in the winter, but alas, work intervened...I…
SIGG Lifestyle Bottle 1.0 Liter
Lightweight water bottle, does not affect the flavor of the water. First off, I am very picky about the taste of water. That may be weird but…
The North Face McMurdo Parka
The jacket is good for daily use, though they could do some more work to it. This is a nice jacket, no doubt about it, but, for the price I…
Petzl Am'D

Appy Trails Mark III
If you want to "lighten the pack" without going "all in" this could be for you. Same weight class as many tarps but has the advantage of zipping…

Sierra Designs Ridge Runner 30

Fits perfectly in waist, for rain use only. Not for submersible use, I flipped my boat when wearing this and it's full of water after a minute…
Patagonia Strider Shorts
Great material, but for women with bigger buns this may sit too low. I know they advertise the inseam with this short, but the rise in the back…
Klean Kanteen 27oz Classic
