Avoiding Falls with Hiking Gear |
| 6/16/2010 8:26:46 AM |
 After I got off the phone with my brother who had just traversed down a mountain trail carrying his friend, the importance of hiking gear really hit home. They were on a Sunday hike in the forest with a goal of reaching a glacier lake at the top. I would say this trail is 3 miles long but that is distance traveled uphill back and forth. It is not the kind of hike a person... Read More |

Hiking Gear Nearby Just In Case |
| 5/6/2010 12:43:14 AM |
 I have a backpack of hiking gear always kept nearby not only for the trailhead. Inside the backpack are hunting binoculars, waterproof matches, water bottles, protein bars, a knife, duct tape, rope and sunglasses. All of these hiking gear components work great when traversing switchbacks up a mountain in the spring but they are also survival tools if something was to ever... Read More |

Got to have a Two Room Camping Tent! |
| 4/16/2010 7:38:00 AM |
My boyfriend and I love to get outdoors and enjoy mother nature. We go camping whenever possible. We have all sorts of camping gear including my much beloved two man camping tent. I will not leave home without it. I have been camping since I was a little girl. I've gone with my family and slept out under the stars. I've been on camping trips with an organized girl's group...

Deer Hunting Curiosity |
| 12/10/2009 3:49:03 PM |
I love debating deer hunting techniques with my husband. Sometimes, I sit in awe as I watch him prepare for the hunting season.
As a kid, I used to watch my grandfather and my father get ready to go hunting. They would pack up their ammunition, layer up their clothing, grab their hunting binoculars and rifle or shotgun, and go. I remember several deer being brought in over... Read More |

Better hiking gear makes for a better hike |
| 12/9/2009 8:54:06 PM |
A few months ago I went on a hike. It should have been easy and really fun, but instead it was very difficult and not very enjoyable. We realized very early on into our adventure that we were very unprepared. As soon as we got home from our trip, I went right online to research new hiking gear.
I was able to save so much money shopping for hiking gear at an online... Read More |

Deer Hunting In The Siskiyou Mountains |
| 10/26/2009 9:31:25 AM |
My memories of deer hunting in the Siskiyou mountains in Northern California as a kid, still bring a smile to my face after forty-five years. I shot my first deer in those mountains when I was eleven. I was scanning the hillside with my fathers hunting binoculars when I saw him. A beautiful eight-point buck chasing some does around and fighting off his rivalries, he was... Read More |

Deer Hunting in Oregon |
| 9/16/2009 8:24:08 PM |
The egg was speckled blue and white. If it wasn't for the size, I would say it was a Robins egg. The egg itself was as large as a football, and the nest was the size of an eight person hot tub. Deer hunting this year has turned a bit weird. I looked at the scenery through my hunting binoculars for an hour or so, and i found no trace of the bird; or whatever it is that laid... Read More |

Deer hunting in Washington. |
| 9/10/2009 11:52:39 PM |
Deer hunting in the back woods of Eastern Washington, for me, is the last great escape from civilization. I drew a doe and a buck tag this year and I cannot wait to get started. I have already packed my camping tent, hiking gear, hunting binoculars and my rifle. Hooking up to the atv trailer is the last thing that I need to do, except kiss and hug the wife. I'll be headed...

Deciding on hiking gear. |
| 5/20/2009 11:03:18 AM |
| The kids and husband want to go camping, so I'm looking into hiking gear now. If they manage to talk me into camping, I know we'll be doing a lot of hiking too. The first thing I'm going to buy in camping gear is a backpack. Of course, I won't be the one carrying it, but I'll want to have my things within close reach. The next thing on my list of things to buy for... Read More |
