We’re always on the hunt for the perfect bag. For travel, backpacking, day hikes, commuting around town on two wheels, you name it. But lately, we’ve been intent on finding the ideal bag for travel. And if we didn’t find it in the Topo Designs Travel Bag 30L, we sure came close. We tested the…
We love kayaking. There’s just something about gliding around on the water on a warm sunny day that’s simply magical. But we’ve missed kayaking. Since we moved away from Florida, took up traveling (a lot), and moved into a tiny house home, we haven’t owned our own kayaks despite the fact that we live in…
Update: The 40L version of this bag is no longer available. Read our full review of the Topo Designs Global Travel Bag 30L HERE. The perfect bag is a thing of beauty. But finding that perfect bag is easier said than done. Allow us to be of assistance. During our recent search for the perfect…
Holy crap we love ultralight tents. Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since we’ve gotten a new tent so we’re completely smitten with the options available these days, but we can’t get enough. Maybe you saw our review of the Big Agnes Fly Creek? Well, allow us to bring you a Big Agnes Tiger Wall…
When it comes to backpacks, I’m an Osprey fan. I’ve had other packs, but it’s been a while. Josh has only had other packs. So when it was time for him to upgrade (his weird Coleman pack that isn’t even made anymore is starting to wear and tear pretty significantly), I was all for him…
We wouldn’t think of going on an intensive hike without our trekking poles. They’re immensely beneficial during tough climbs and descents and really take the pressure off your knees. Plus, you know, keep your arms in the game so they don’t turn into limp noodles on a long hike. But trekking pole prices are all over the map. You can get a pair of cheap ones for $20 or less on Amazon, or you can spend upwards of $200+ on an ultralight model. But are expensive trekking poles worth the money? We put a few to the test. Check out our trekking pole comparison to find out.
We love gear. Especially ultralight gear. Because who wants to clomp around in the backcountry with 50 pounds on their back? Not us. Certainly not I, whose pack weight maxes out at 33 pounds if I’m following the rule of thirds (your pack shouldn’t weigh more than 1/3 your body weight). But because we try…
Every outdoorsy man and woman needs a good backpack. Also a daypack, but that’s a post for another day. For multi-day backpacking trips, we don’t think anything out there rivals the Osprey Atmos backpack. It’s big, it’s comfy, you can adjust many features for the perfect fit…it’s just a great backpack. Wanna know why we…
I’ll admit it right up front: I’m a Nalgene girl. Always have been. I honestly can’t recall a time in my life where I had any other brand of water bottle. Since high school when I first learned about the brand and how not only was it indestructible, but if you did manage to break…
