Back in the day, outdoor companies didn’t make women’s specific gear. Whether you needed a new backpack or a pair of hiking pants, men’s equipment was your only option.

Anyone who has slept on an air mattress for an extended period of time can attest to how much it changes over time. It will feel supportive until it does not. Sovieluften’s goal is to create a solution to this problem, a tensioned cover that will put tension on the air mattress to both protect it and to prevent the sides from sagging out. I was excited to try this out when asked to write a review. As someone who enjoys adventure, I have found myself in many situations when I needed

We’ve all seen it: those posts on the “Gram” of people living their “best life” while traveling to beautiful destinations in a van. While it all looks good and well in theory, when the reality of making a living and paying bills (of any kind) comes to mind, your dream of traveling to incredible destinations may seem like just an unattainable dream.
However, there are many people living in vans and traveling the country, so we know it’s possible. Dreams turn into realities

The naturally beautiful Dutch countryside is quite unique compared to most other countries and its features are something you come to appreciate the more time you spend there. We are talking about a nation that has almost a third of its land beneath sea level, no mountainous terrain at all, an amazing array of canals and dikes to manage the water levels, and lovely fields of flowers as far as the eye can see.

While the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt to most non-essential travel for 2020 and 2021, one form of relatively safe travel is camping. Being in wide-open spaces with limited people around means less contact with groups of people outside of your bubble. This past year, Americans took advantage of the great outdoors by taking day or weekend trips to semi-local parks and wilderness areas within driving distance.
If you’re getting tired of spending your days inside, working from
