December 2, 2016
While the Onebar may have been born out of a desire to feed children something delicious adults benefiting from having a delicious energy bar on the market can’t be a bad thing. Each bar is one serving of fruit and is made from high quality vegan and gluten free ingredients.
Simple Shower Portable Shower Review
September 10, 2016
The Simple Shower has a simple sell – make a quick shower out of any plastic bottle. Here in the Pacific Northwest ocean excursions are always on the schedule. While playing in salt water is a blast cleaning up after isn’t. You feel grimy with salt all over yourself and your gear needs to be […]

Jetboil MicroMo Cooking System Review
July 25, 2016
The MicroMo is Jetboil’s latest entry into their line of cooking systems. The big selling point of the MicroMo is that it utilizes the same fuel regulator as the MiniMo (allowing for great simmer control) but it’s jammed into a much smaller and lighter stove.

WIN Detergent Review
June 24, 2016

Setting the Travel Organizer apart is it’s two hooks, attached to the left and right […]

The […]
Moon Cheese Review
October 30, 2015
Moon Cheese. That unique delicacy that drove men wild and spurred the space race to new heights. That was until we realized the moon was made of rocks not cheese so we dropped the moon like it was hot never to return. In place of real Moon Cheese we have this stuff. According to the […]
Basecamp comfort
October 16, 2015
I’ve often found that the night before a expedition is many times the least comfortable part of the trip. All your stuff is packed up and inaccessible so you are left to either sleep on some rock hard bunk in a base camp hut or (more often than not for me) curl up on some […]
