Interesting video on Backpacker magazine site

[oldwetherman]

I saw this video on the Backpacker magazine site. 10 uses for condoms while hiking in the backcountry. It was interesting. http://www.backpacker.com/10-ways-to-use-a-condom/videos/300?utm_source=newsletter01&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter02

There is a reason I don't subscribe to Backpacker anymore. Actually there are many, and crap like this is just one.

(oldweatherman, I'm not trying to disrespect your post, just Backpacker Magazine) :)

Ditto above.

Would be a nice idea to have multiple uses since they are being carried anyway.

But most of the 10 ideas they give are kinda stupid.

Click bait.

Slightly salacious title. Page views go up. Ad revenue possibly increases.

And not a Badger in sight.

Great. I hadn't had a subscription for a few years, so I just renewed it. Now you guys are telling me it isn't good anymore..............

As in Sodom & Gomorrah? LOL!

[oldwetherman]

Sodom's not far from Hot Springs......next time anyone is in Hot Springs and has time to kill, send me a PM....I'll give you a tour.

Backpacker is fine for newbies... its a starting point for cyber hikers...:)

So what is out there that is better? If you say outside magazine, I will literally spew.

Abstinence.

First, a disclaimer. As of issue 13, I'm a regular contributor to this magazine. But I've suggested them long before I wrote for them. :)

I am a big fan of Trail Groove magazine. Online only. Excellent photography, great articles and they only review gear they actually use. Probably what outdoor magazines were like 20 yrs ago. Check it out:

Thanks Mags, I had been on their page once before, but don't remember if I took the time to really look at it, or if I was in a hurry searching a specific topic. I will definately look them over.

I second Trail Groove.

Trail Groove is the best. Read it.
