What a wonderful winter we’ve been experiencing and even more of that beautiful snow in the forecast! Let’s celebrate with a two day store-wide sale. We throw this party every February in an effort to extend excellent deals on Winter gear and make some much needed room for Spring and Summer gear to make it’s way into the shop.
DIY gear repair can seem daunting, in fact the most common issues can easily be repaired at home with the right materials and just a little bit of know-how. Many repairs can be accomplished with tools and materials that you might already have at home.
When you’re in the backcountry, it’s generally a good idea to avoid drinking any surface water (from lakes, streams, etc.) because unlike treated tap water, it might contain pathogens and microorganisms that could make you sick. Although the likelihood of actually getting sick from drinking untreated water here in Southwest Colorado is extremely low, the consequences (violent illness for many days or weeks) are so high that you should always play it safe and treat your water.
