I am a long time lover of the fanny pack. In my humble opinion, they never went out of style. When I started seeing them in Instagram ads and magazines over the past few years, I was overjoyed. Finally, I…

July 10, 2020January 12, 2024Backpacking and Hiking, BioLite, Camping, Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews, Running Harry McSween 2 Comments on ProView – BioLite HeadLamp 330

There are a few pieces of gear that you need to take with you on any adventure, and a headlamp is always towards the top of my list. I’ve spent a few months (quarantined and all) with the Biolite 330…

ProView – Exped DeepSleep Mat 7.5

July 6, 2020January 7, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Exped, ProView Gear Reviews Mollie Bailey Leave a Comment on ProView – Exped DeepSleep Mat 7.5

The past two months, I had the pleasure of changing up my “work-life” sleeping system and using Exped’s DeepSleep 7.5 LXW sleeping pad. Using the pad in a multitude of terrain across three different states allowed me to put it…

The Sierra Designs Nitro 800 packed down small into my pack for multi-day and overnight ski traverses in the Cascades of Washington. It was the warm, cozy hug I needed at the end of a long day to get me…

ProView – Mountainsmith Day

July 1, 2020January 7, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Mountainsmith, ProView Gear Reviews Harry McSween 1 Comment on ProView – Mountainsmith Day

When looking for a cold-weather sleeping bag, I always felt that I was settling for something that didn’t quite fit the bill. Then I was introduced to the Men’s EXPED Comfort -10 bag, and I realized that there is a…

June 29, 2020January 7, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Exped, ProView Gear Reviews Bethany Stivers Leave a Comment on ProView – Exped Waterbloc Pro -5

I love adventures!  I love those dark alpine start mornings. I love the glory of standing on top of a mountain after a long sufferfest to the summit.  I love those sunset scrambles down the trail back to the tent. …
