My Early Morning Walk



Just a quick video of my early morning walk in the woods. A perfect way to shave off some pounds. LOL.

Coleman Exponent Multifuel Stove Review


I just love this stove and can't praise it enough. I bought mine some years ago after reading a rave review in Backpacker magazine. I used it mainly for extended backpacking. I have used this stove heavily over the years and it has performed flawlessly, reliably, and impressively.

Talk About Headlamps


Head lamps have come a long way since we were on our last scouting trip. No longer do you need to have a glorified Mag Lite strapped to your head, bobbing around and weighing your head down.

Hi-Tec's V-Lite Fast Hike Review



Talk about Hi-Tec's V-Lite Fast Hike shoes: Slightly deviating form the simplicity of Hi-Tec shoe designs, Hi-Tec packed as much technology into this shoe as they can. Built like a tank, in its mid cut version, this is a great shoe for anything from day hikes to light and fast trekking. It has rubber rands in front to help protect you from trail debris. The fit is great! The shoe is coupled with a lacing system that snugs your feet in the shoes special form fitting insoles. When your hike will last for at least half a day, this is the shoe that won't get you screaming in pain after only a couple of hours of trekking. Unlike other trekking shoes, the Fasthike needs little on no breaking-in period (although I suggest you still break-in every shoe that you purchase, just to be on the happy and safe side).
