How many times have you gone out hiking, camping, backpacking, or really any adventure and everything went as planned? If your luck is anything like mine that number is very very low. As an Eagle Scout my training even as a young Cub Scout has helped me out of some strange and crazy situations over the years. Looking back on my Scouting skills and training I have put together a list of Scout skills that every backpacker should know.
Trekking poles can be a huge help while hiking. They can help you keep your balance and help keep your muscles and joints from the wear and tear of hiking. I personally find them to be very useful and use them on day hikes as well as week-long backpacking trips. Most of my backpacking gear is purchased because it can be used for several uses which help keep pack weight down by requiring fewer items in my kit. When I talk about products being multi-purpose you might be asking how can trekking poles be used in other ways than just being a “walking stick”. I have created a list of ten ways you can use your trekking poles for more than just walking. Continue reading

Whether you’re going on a short weekend trip or an extended adventure, packing the right items is essential for a smooth and enjoyable journey. Forgetting essentials can cause stress and inconvenience. To prevent such mishaps, we’ve compiled a list of ten must-have items for travel. Let’s get started!
There are many products out there that promote making camping or being outdoors more enjoyable. I have been caught buying something from social media ads many times, and they may or may not have worked as advertised. In my many years of camping, I have learned that quite a few things seem too good to be true, but they truly do work. I have compiled a list of some of my most commonly used and favorite “hacks” to help your camping and adventure trips be a little more enjoyable without breaking the bank.
The short answer is yes, and not buying them can be expensive.
If you are heading out into the outdoors, no matter where you are going, you need to research and find out if there are permits required to have before going. These could be day passes, annual passes, or lifetime passes, and everything depends on the location you are headed.
Reading the fine print is extremely important. I found this out the hard way. When I was living in Tucson, a coworker and I decided to hike in a popular area in town.

I am going to jump straight to the answer and save you all time. The answer to the question of which is better a cooler, an electric cooler, or a fridge? The answer might shock you….
