One thing to know about me is that I love seasons. By the end of summer I am ready for fall and can’t wait til it starts to snow. Fall though, is one of my favorite seasons as the temperature start to cool off but going into the outdoors doesn’t require a giant parka yet. Also with the fall colors, fall is a great time to get out to the mountains and go camping.
Current Giveaways
A good day pack is essential to any successful hiking trip, but finding a pack that works for you can be a little trickier. I find that a good day pack blends capacity with comfort. Each year I find myself gravitating towards certain packs and this year it has been the Platypus Sprinter XT 25. There is enough room to throw in extra layers and hauls a massive three liters of water. Along with this review the good people at Cascade Designs have been gracious enough to give away a MSR Model 9 T-Shirt to a lucky winner. Check out the box at the end of the article to enter to win.
Fall can be a great time to get out hiking if you have the right gear. Temperatures are cooler which can be enjoyable as long as you are prepared. We have included 3 jackets to keep you warm while out hiking this fall. But the best part of this guide is your chance to win a pair of boots from Wolverine. So, read on, enter to win and then get out and enjoy the fall colors.
In this review we put the Aquapac 40L Upano Waterproof Duffel Bag to the test in Zions Utah. This bag is great for travelling or any other time you need to keep your gear dry.
