Barebones Living Railroad Lantern
On dark nights, at picnics, in a campground and at home the Barebones Living Railroad Lantern is my new companion. I love the weight of it in my hand, the steady light that surges from its core and the way I feel like I just was transported through time when I use it.
The Roofnest Sparrow
Roof top tents are becoming extremely popular. Weekend campers, overlanders and even RV enthusiasts are taking an interest. But are they really worth it? After hours of research and a lot of discussion, we can honestly say a big YES!
The VSSL First Aid
We recently purchased a VSSL First Aid.
First aid kits are a camping staple, we always bring one along so when we found the VSSL First Aid we were thrilled. Double or even triple duty items are invaluable when camping and backpacking. With the VSSL First Aid we have a 200 lumen flashlight, SOS beacon, first aid kit and compass.
The Cliq Chair
We were lucky enough to receive two Cliq Chairs for Christmas. If you’re on social media lately you’ve likely seen an advertisement for these compact and durable chairs that were a recent crowd-funding craze. The craze is because Cliq chairs are arguably the best portable chair design on the market. They pack up small, are extremely durable and comfortable.
The High Camp Firelight Flask
It’s a well known fact that Jamie and I enjoy whiskey. We often bring a flask on our adventures to share a drink around the campfire. We recently discovered the High Camp Firelight 750 and were impressed with its lifetime warranty. The camp life can be hard on gear so with nothing to lose we made the order.
YETI LoadOut 30 GoBox
We have added the YETI LoadOut 30 GoBox to our equipment arsenal and we couldn’t be happier. Our gear needs to be packable, durable and wilderness proof. We needed a long-term solution that could be rained on, snowed on, dropped, stacked and exposed to extreme heat and cold.
