Hiking Gear Reviews

As we transition from winter to spring, it's a good idea to pack a pair of these "icers" or crampons/traction cleats for your hiking boots or shoes for when the trail goes from snowy to icy! That is if you want to return to work on Monday! :) https://amzn.to/3ci6mpy

New hikers, and first-time overnight backpackers -- this is for you. Starting out you need some cookware, but don't think you need to re-mortgage your home or take out a bank loan! This pot set is ideal for getting going. Whether you want to fry a steak the first night, or just boil water for a Mountain House freeze-dried meal, or making tea - this set if for you! https://amzn.to/37dd926

Wow, these look amazing and super price savings too! Great for all outdoor sports where keeping warm is good! Would be a great idea for anyone doing any winter sports or activities! Great for winter camping, ice-fishing, or snowmobiling! https://amzn.to/2MxGahV

Did a 2-night winter camping trip last weekend and realized that butane Bic lighters don't work the best at cold temperatures. I've seen these survival matches on YouTube and thought they will be a great addition to my winter camping kit. Uses regular lighter fluid (like in Zippos) instead of butane. Trying to get the naptha stove lit at -20 C with a Bic was utter frustration! Regular matches die too fast. This looks like it would pay for itself very quickly! Get on with your morning coffee faster! https://amzn.to/36Ee77h

Don't ever be too proud to carry a Bic lighter or two in your pockets. And these fine fire-starters. A few in a baggie in a spare pouch for those times you wish you had a fire. I have used these and they work wonders. These are natural and don't smell like strong chemicals. Burns a long time! https://amzn.to/3o0EU3J
