SealLine Baja Bag Review

This is a great product for many marine applications but it is also great for storing electronics while camping and days at the beach. I spent an entire vacation travelling with this bag to keep my stuff dry whenever I went swimming, to the beach, to waterfalls, to lakes, wherever there was water and it worked perfectly and doubled as a great day-pack bag. This is a must-have if going anywhere where your valuables might be exposed to water. Saves hassle, peace of mind, and potentially, of course, your electronics.

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).

Locally Made Gaiters Review

I recently asked SAGKA (a local manufacturer of backpacking gear) to manufacture a pair of gaiters for me. Gaiters are for me, an essential part of my hiking gear. It helps keep dirt and water out of my shoes. It'd really be frustrating if you have a pebble in your shoe, or wet socks, wouldn't it?
