Marmot Diva 35 Backpack For Women – Review
Monday, August 2nd, 2010
This backpack is made for a woman’s body… Marmot has done a good job molding the harness to a woman’s body shape. The hip belt and shoulder straps conformed to multiple tester’s torsos, and this lightweight , slimmed down backpack is great for high paced long hikes.

Mountain Hardware Napali 50 Backpack Review
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
The Mountain Hardware Napali 50 is just large enough to carry gear for more than a days journey on the trails or campsite and it’s easy to carry because the backpack is considered an ultra-light due to the fact that there is no additional straps or bells and whistle features, it is really a basic backpack.
The North Face El Lobo 65 Liter Weekender Backpack Review
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010
For the price and versatility the North Face El Lobo 65 weekender backpack is one of the best weekend backpacks there is. With 3480 cubic-inch of storage you would think the El Lobo 65 would be a heavy backpack but it actually feels lighter than it looks and the bag fits to your body so it is comfortable while trekking along.

Saturday, July 10th, 2010
The UV light Steripen technology has been around for a while now, they’ve become more popular recently due to the ease of use. Basically all you have to do to sterilize water is swirl the glowing part of the Steripen in your bottled water for roughly a minute and a half. This duration is time enough to kill off viruses such as protozoa like guardia and viruses like hepatitis.
Giant Anthem X2 Mountain Bike Review
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
The Giant Anthem X2 is a line of mountain bikes that are a little more tuned towards trails as opposed to racing. The geometry and travel of the mountain bike is longer at 4 inches instead of 3.5 inch. You would think that the Giant Anthem X2’s long travel would make the bike slower, but the X2 goes full speed like a racer with good handling.

Mammut Lucido X-Zoom – LED Headlamp
Saturday, June 26th, 2010
Turn on the lamp with a twist of the barrel lens and the Mammut Lucido X-Zoom will focus its beam on where ever you are looking. For a more concentrated beam for greater distance use the spot-mode which will project the light 450 feet so you can see well ahead. To save battery power and diffuse the light a bit, you can simply turn and dial the barrel lens back a little for a longer lasting less concentrated glow.
