Like gear? We do, too. Terradrift will bring you honest reviews and recommendations of our favorite gear, from camera accessories to outdoor equipment and everything in between.
The Skullet is both a functional portable heater and easy-to-use camp stove in one moderately convenient package. But is it perfect? We tested it with friends to find out.
If you’re looking to bolster your supply of natural apparel or are in search of clothing that functions as well on the trail as it does in town, these options take sustainability to the next level. We’ve tested them all and these are our very favorite plant fiber hiking shirts that we’ll be wearing time and time again, on trail and off.
When it comes to wireless earbuds for the outdoors, whether that be trail running, hiking, or solo backpacking, there’s more to consider than which ones sound the best. Things like water resistance, durability, and whether or not they’re actually going to stay in your ears as you’re bouncing down the trail. So today we’re going to take a look at 5 wireless earbuds, all of which we’ve personally tested, and let you know which stand out for outdoor recreation of all kinds.
When it comes to barefoot hiking shoes, we at Terradrift have tested more than our fair share. From the rugged but ultra-flexible Magna Lite WR SG to the Xero Shoes Scrambler, we know a thing or two about what makes a barefoot shoe trail-worthy. So when Vivobarefoot dropped the Primus Trail Flow Mid, we had to lace ‘em up and take them for a spin.
If there’s one thing I love after a long hike on a hot day or when kicking it around the campfire in the evening it’s sparkling water. Sure, camp cocktails are great, but frankly, I don’t need alcohol to celebrate. If you feel the same and you can never keep enough cans of sparkling water in the house (or the cooler), then the Aerflo System Bottle is for you: a reusable water bottle that carbonates water at the touch of a button (OK, several touches).
Love them or hate them, these ultralight pad pumps make quick work of setting up camp. Are they worth a few extra ounces? You decide.
Need a power solution for camping and road trips? The Bluetti Elite 100 V2 delivers with its modern battery technology and low price.
We’ve tested plenty of portable power banks, backup batteries and chargers over the years. But when it comes to keeping devices like phones and high-tech watches powered on backpacking trips, every ounce (and gram) matters. So we put two of backpacking’s most popular ultralight power banks to the test and weighed their pros and cons (literally) to find out which we’ll be taking on all our backpacking adventures from here on out.
Down is often considered the superior insulator when it comes to sleeping bags for backpacking or camping. But it’s not the best choice for every adventure or every adventurer. If you’re vegan, down isn’t since it’s harvested from dead animals. If you’re on a budget, down is prohibitively expensive. Or if you want a versatile bag that’s suitable for all types of weather, down doesn’t insulate at all when it’s wet. The alternative? Synthetic insulation. But synthetic ultralight sleeping bags are often few and far between since the material is a bit heavier than down. So what’s an ultralighter to do? Try one of these synthetic ultralight bags on for size, of course!
There are plenty of ultralight tents available these days, and all of them claim to be the best. So we tested the iconic Zpacks Duplex two-person tent to see if it stands up to the other UL backpacking tent options available (and whether we’ll pack it in our UL setup again and again). Here’s what makes it unique and what we thought of it and its functionality.
