Morrison Footprint

This footprint has grommets, clips, and loops on corner tabs. I would recommend to anyone wanting a fitted footprint. I use this footprint on my Mountainsmith Upland 2 tent and it is a perfect fit. The footprint has clips and so does my rain fly so it attaches perfectly. The fly clips can be tightened or slacked out to assure it a custom fit on the tent. I use the grommets to attach to the tent poles themselves. After I lay out the footprint and set up the tent minus fly I just place the tent on… Full review

Upland 2

Great tent at a great price. Will accommodate the taller camper. Best used for car or motorcycle camping. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quality tent at a budget price. This is a discontinued tent but there are some still out there to be had for as much as 60% off retail price. For me this is a perfect tent. I'm 6'2" and have plenty of room in the tent. This tent is a true rectangle shape that measures 93" long and 56" wide with 45" of headroom. It will hold two people easily, but keep… Full review

Tour

This pack is very well made, with just the right size for both short hikes, weekend, and in town use. There is enough room to carry two small water bottles, a light jacket or sweater, a book, a packed lunch, wallet etc... I esp. like the Smart Phone storage area in back and brighter interior. The only downside is I wish they made a women's version of this pack, for those with smaller waists, because I've got excess strappage whenever I click the strap, and I'd like to find something to keep it out… Full review

Lookout 50

Carries 35-50lbs comfortably with smart mid-weight design. Just enough pockets and features for good organization without going unnecessarily overboard that just add weight. Excellent three-day pack that can compress for solo weekends or loaded up for use as a scout leader pack carrying extras for young backpackers. Fit: Pack is easy to adjust, fitting torsos of the average to over 6' adult. The way the shoulder harness mounts to the two aluminum stays that spread like a V as they go up the back… Full review

Maverick

Has been a great mult-use bag for me. I don't have as much long hiking experience as I'd like. I bought this pack in 2006 for a few days on the AT. I love all the external pockets so everything has its place. I don't remember it ever being uncomfortable.   I used it mainly for packing to Afghanistan as a contractor and R&R trips to places like Thailand. The only time I put a tent in it it was one too big for hiking. I would slide the poles in one side and the rest in the other. I like not having… Full review
