Alisha McDarris — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 20:08:56 +0000

It's that time again, folks! (Yeah, yeah, I know, don't remind us...) 'Tis the season of consumerism! Personally, this time of year isn't our favorite, and we could do without all the obsessive shopping and buying crap just because you think you have to (you totally don't), but there is something to be said about a thoughtful, useful gift passed along to someone you love that shows them how much they mean to you and that you know them well enough to gift them something they'll love. But that's easier said than done! Especially if the people you love are outdoorsy (we tend to be fairly particular about our gear). So if you need some ides to get you started, here are 10 of the best gifts for outdoorsy folks this year. And yes, we've tested all of them and they get the Terradrift stamp of approval. Just shop responsibly, and spend some time outdoors with friends and loved ones this season.

Our 5 Favorite Hikes in the USA! (A Non-Exhaustive List, Obvs)

Alisha McDarris — Thu, 17 Oct 2024 17:45:43 +0000

Here at Terradrift, we're hikers first (even though we are also obsessed with backpacking and mountain biking). And as such, we've explored nearly every corner of the wide and wonderful landscape known as the U.S. Along the way, we've found some magical trails (including paddle trails) from coast to coast (including in Hawaii and Alaska). Naturally, there are millions of trails around this massive country, and we obviously haven't hiked even close to all of them. We haven't even hiked in every state (though we've been to almost every state)! But of the places we have laced up our vegan hiking boots, these are some of our favorite hikes in the USA!

Fall is coming!!

But fall also means it's time to start rotating the apparel and gear closet! Layers are in, tank tops are out, it's time to swap kayak trips for cool-weather campouts, and (gasp) time to start thinking about holiday travel. So we rounded up some of our favorite sustainable outdoor gear and apparel for fall so you can kick off the season right and well-prepared for all the outdoor adventures to come.

Tentsile Tree Tent Giant 3-Person Hammock Review: Is This Massive Hammock Worth It?

Alisha McDarris — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 16:48:00 +0000

At Terradrift, we're big fans of hammocks. But hammocks are best for solo hangs (unless you want to get reeeeal cozy–by which I mean be smashed together like two pieces of bread on a panini). Which means if you're heading out with friends or family, you have to bring one for everyone (or everyone's gonna fight over the one). But what if that wasn't the case? What if you could comfortably fit three or more people on a hammock and still be able to lounge, sit up and play cards, or snack and relax? Well, the Tentsile hammock offers just that And we got our hands on a Trillium giant 3-person camping hammock to see if it's all it's cracked up to be. Here's what we thought of the functionality, setup, comfort, and whether we think it's worth it.

They Say Cotton Kills. But Can You Hike in Cotton and Other Plant-Based Fibers?!

Alisha McDarris — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 18:05:25 +0000

There's a whole wide-spread saying about cotton and other plant-based fibers in the outdoor industry: Cotton kills. Which might lead one to believe it should be avoided at all costs for any and every outdoor adventure. But is that really the case? Should you truly avoid it at all costs, or can it sometimes be the right choice for hiking, biking, or other outdoor activities? We'll dive into the pros and cons of hiking in plant-based fibers like cotton, bamboo, and hemp so you can make the right (and the safe) decision.

Indigenous Tours in Banff: 5 Amazing (and Meaningful) Adventures with the Region’s Original Guides

Alisha McDarris — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 22:00:13 +0000

When I head into the mountains, either the Wasatch range near my home, the Austrian or Swiss Alps, or the Chisos Mountains in Big Bend National Park, I am always moved. Sure, I love to move fast and summit peaks as much as the next outdoor lover, but for years immersing myself in nature has been as much about the peace and calm I find there, enjoying the majestic scenery, and taking time to bear witness to the power of nature. But when I got to go to Alberta, Canada recently and spend time in the Rockies around Banff and Jasper (the tailbone of Turtle Island–a.k.a. North America), the wonder I have always felt in the outdoors was amplified each time I set out to explore with the region's Indigenous guides. Here are 5 Indigenous tours I heartily recommend in the area.
