I don’t know about you, but I’ve gone through several variations of camp chairs over the years. From those $10 specials at the drug store to “high end” versions from the local sporting goods store. Like everything built in this disposable world we unfortunately live in, they came and went with the wind. Busted hinges […]
Over decades of airline travel, I’ve continually searched for that perfect piece of luggage. Small enough to be carried onto the aircraft. Yet roomy enough for a 4-6 day trip. And most importantly, durable enough to withstand the abuse associated with travel. Overhead compartments, cabin aisles, airports, trunks, hotels, you name it. Although I’ve used […]

Unexpected Vehicle Recovery This story begins with a beautiful sunny but cold spring day in Northern Michigan. My work for the day was complete so I decided to recon some trails in the Sturgeon River Valley. With no real plan other than to record tracks on Gaia GPS for some trails I’ve previously seen in […]
I know what you’re thinking, another portable speaker? Yep, we’re going to take a look at a larger, more powerful speaker than we’ve ever reviewed thus far. The Turtlebox, I can only assume, gets its name because of the rugged shell and waterproofness? Either way, this outdoor portable speaker is made for the elements. Boasting […]
Have you ever been satisfied with the typical beer koozie? Flimsy, underperforming neoprene and usually with some tacky phrase stenciled on the side. Like, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere”, or “Save water, drink beer”, or even “Let’s get ready to stumble”. The bottom line is they “need” a catch phrase to sell their crappy product. Not […]

Over the years, I’ve gone through several portable power chargers that claimed to be durable. Some look the part but not many have actually lasted over a year. With all the traveling we do, having a reliable charger is critical. Wether we’re charging phones, a Garmin InReach, Laptops or GoPro’s, there’s always a need for […]

If you like spending time outdoors in the winter months, staying warm is a critical component to success. Whether it’s alpine or nordic skiing, snowshoeing, hunting or riding snow machines, proper layering for the activity at hand will differ. Dynamic activities will require less insulation while static activities will require more. As an alpine skier, […]

I originally laid eyes on the Pinnacle Pro stove while at Outdoor Retailer in 2019. Manufacturing and various other delays pushed the availability of their premier 2 burner stove back and back. To say I […]
