My girlfriend got me the Gregory Paragon 48 as a Christmas present last year and the funny thing, she doesn't like hiking or backpacking so she's probably giving me a hint and wants me to get lost in...

Ok, thanks.

I said backpacking, but I take it on day hikes too. I like to eat, never skip a chance to enjoy a meal or a hot cup of coffee/tea in the outdoors. I use it for cutting fruit, food prep, and I like...

I just wanted to share my thoughts on my new knife. I've been using it as my every day carry and plan on using backpacking when the weather gets a bit better.

Key thing for me is the weight, it...

thanks for the link, that looks really good and easy!

Hey guys! I went on some epic hikes in Zion National Park in Utah. This video has footage of Angels Landing, probably the most beautiful hike I've ever been on. In the video I review the boots my...

Thanks for the heads up! We don't earn dividend points from Garage items do we?

I have the 1L bottle too and didn't taste plastic. Try Venchka's suggestions, that's what I do. in the past with other products, I would let the item soak in water over night, change the water and...

You're a wealth of info, thanks for the insight!

I noticed that too, but on their websites they had different numbers.

BeFree vs Mini
Protozoa 99.99% vs 99.9999%
Bacteria 99.9999% vs ...

I forget to add my conclusion.

I think the BeFree is good for day hikers, trail runners, and mountain bikers who can trust the water is relatively clean and want filtered water quickly.

For...

Hey guys, I have both of these filters and I wanted to share some of my thoughts on them.

Similarities:
Both weight about 2 ounces
small and packable
great for day hikes

Differences:

LOL i just realized the error in my thinking! lol. doesn't make sense to have heavy gear and put in in an ultralight pack!

Thanks for commenting brother! Yeah the Zippo needs to go!

@Maineiac64 Thanks for the comment brother! I've been hearing a lot of good things about the FLY CREEK. I'll need to scour REI's garage sale and get one. Backpacking with elevation gains is tough...

I usually car camp and bring really heavy gear with me, but this summer I decided to venture deeper into the woods and try to see what lies beyond the road. At 5 lbs this tent isn't considered...

That's very true Brother. It's heavy for backpacking. Probably better suited for a car light or camping

Disclaimer: I purchased this flashlight and the following video is not monetized.

I was talking to a friend who was going to Africa for volunteer work. He's not into flashlights and didn't want...

Looks like I need to pick up a pair of Darn Tough!

Great info in this thread, I like going as light as possible.

I have one with a hood and one without. I use the one without more often. When Im really concerned with being cold I wear the one with the hood but sometimes the hood gets tangled in tree branches...

I love REI, but their prices are a bit high. I love the end of the year dividend check :)

I got mine in multicam and this bag rocks! I'm not a great hiker, so I like to keep things light and I drink a lot of water so I love deluxe hydration packs. I took it to Mexico with me and carried...

Good luck brother! My friends and I climbed half dome 2 years ago and it's awesome! We woke up at 4am to start the hike and didn't make it down back to our camp until dark. We're slow
