Reviewer Sara Baird tests out Kuhl Hiking Pants.
Nothing is worse on a hike than clothes that don’t hold up, stay in place, or breathe. Thankfully we can find clothing options that are designed to support our best hiking experiences. I personally love hiking pants and have a few pairs that I can get away with wearing to my business casual teaching job. I reviewed a pair of Kuhl travel pants last year and absolutely
Sara Baird shares her experience with Boondockers Welcome
I grew up tent camping but when we acquired a 5th wheel camper we quickly discovered an entirely new way of camping that was not accessible to us before. Initially, we thought camping in an RV was just a wimpy way to camp but we were soon struck by how being self-contained expanded the places we could go.
In addition to opening places to stay, we found ourselves enjoying the incredible community that exists among RV travelers. This community
Sara Baird tries out the Trekroll.
No matter how enjoyable your travels are, a poor night of sleep can impact how you feel and what you are able to do. I have spent my fair share of nights where I found the ground was too rocky, my sleeping gear was too warm, or worse, not warm enough. I know how much a great night of sleep can make a difference. The first night I camped with an inflatable sleeping mat I realized how incredible a night of camping could be with a little extra comfort. When
Pauline Alba tries out and reports on the Kamui Sleeping Pad.
Sleeping anywhere other than your bed you struggle to get a good night’s rest. It can even be more difficult when camping when you need to transport and provide your own sleeping mats. Finding a product that works for you, transports well, and is easy to use can make the process easier. This review will focus on the self-inflating sleeping pads from Kamui.

Camping with young kids can be nerve-wracking. While at home you will have a way to hear and often see your child when they are alone in their room. Parents often don’t have access to the same technology you have at home while away so your choices often become going to bed when your child goes to bed or leaving your child alone and hoping that you can hear him or her if they wake up.

Samantha Kent reviews Silver Cryptid at her outdoor wedding.
Can’t have a rainbow without a little rain!
After a good year of wedding-induced writer’s block, I’m happy to say this request for a review revived something within me that has been sedated for some time. I was gladly approached to review a set of earrings made by the “Silver Cryptid” Company!
Now I admit if you are wondering how jewellery fits an “Outdoor” “Camping” blog I can understand! However, the

As I share my next product review, I must give a disclaimer about myself. I am the kind of person that would eat food cold if it meant a lot of work to warm it up or I would plan my meals around not having to cook anything. Having a simple way to expand your meal options when camping and traveling is a great thing, especially if another person is with you. That is why I decided to try out the Ötzi Ember Dual Person Grill.

By Sara Baird.
I took my first wilderness trip when I was 12. It was a weeklong trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota with an environmental school. I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to take this trip as it changes the way I see the world. I have memories of great friendships, sleeping under the stars during a meteor shower, and a sense of awe the entire week. The only thing I remember not enjoying on the trip was the taste of iodine in our water.

Onewind’s Rain Fly is tested out by Sara Baird.
Last year I had the opportunity to review three great Onewind products. The 11ft hammock with mosquito netting, the hammock underquilt and blanket, and the hammock top quilt. I was impressed with the function and design of all of these products so said yes when asked to review another product. They were all designed in ways that made them extremely easy to use and I use them frequently.
This fall I had the opportunity to try out the Onewind
Pauline Alba reviews the Spice Cargo Kit.
What would you consider to be your spice of life? I would have to say being on an adventure is what gives my life the variety that I crave. I am always looking for the next spot to camp, hike, picnic, or visit. Another way I add spice to my life is genuinely through spices.
If you are like me a whole cabinet is full of different flavors to add to our meals. So it is natural I would be bringing them with me. Right before I was given the opportunity
