We love 'em. They allow us to get outside and blaze trails all winter long, no matter how much white powder covers the route. Indeed, we're convinced they're an essential piece of gear every outdoorist should keep in their closet. But with so many options to choose from (and so many price points!), how can one possibly be convinced they're getting the best snowshoes for the money? We recently tested two pairs of snowshoes from MSR and will help you map out the differences, plus answer some of your burning questions, like what snowshoes to buy, if expensive snowshoes are worth it, or which MSR snowshoes are the best of the best. Read on.

We Found The Best Camping Cookware for Ultralight Backpacking: 4 Cook Pots https://terradrift.com/the-best-camping-cookware-for-ultralight-backpacking/ https://terradrift.com/the-best-camping-cookware-for-ultralight-backpacking/#respond Thu, 31 Oct 2024 16:03:57 +0000 https://terradrift.com/?p=15994 One of the best parts of backpacking is arguably the end of the day when you're done hiking, the ultralight tent or camping hammock is set up, and you've got nothing left to do but kick back, make dinner, and shove an unnatural amount of food down your gullet to replace all those calories you burned walking for miles with a heavy pack on your back. So when that time comes, you want the best camping cookware on hand, ready to rehydrate those backpacking meals. What makes a camp cookware set the best? Well, that depends on you and your style of backpacking, who you're with, and what you plan to eat. So we tested a handful of ultralight cookware options to see which were tops and which are best suited for all different types of backpackers.

Best Daypacks of 2024: 5 Sustainable Backpacks FTW! https://terradrift.com/best-daypacks-sustainable-backpacks/ https://terradrift.com/best-daypacks-sustainable-backpacks/#respond Thu, 10 Oct 2024 21:20:09 +0000 https://terradrift.com/?p=16506 You know we love a functional, well-designed, sustainable piece of gear here at Terradrift. And there may be no more impactful piece of gear than the (not so humble) daypack. After all, it accompanies you on all your hiking–maybe even biking or travel–adventures, holds your 10 essentials, and gets carted onto mountain, desert, and coastal trails. It will probably be with you for years if not decades (if you're taking care of it and repairing it, of course), and gets caked with not only dirt, but memories. So choosing the right one–and one that's kinder to the planet–is an important decision. Fortunately, we've tested a whole bunch and these are the best daypacks in our opinion (that are also highly sustainable).

Like, a lot. So it takes quite a bit to impress us these days. But when we got ahold of one of the new Peak Design Outdoor Bags and Outdoor Slings that just launched on Kickstarter this month, to say we were impressed might have been a bit of an understatement. Check out what we thought of them and whether we think you should back them.
