Winter is hanging on this year and we are thrilled about this moisture and the late season POW we are getting to play in. Also, Spring it right around the corner and folks are planning river trips, desert climbing weekends and all sorts of warm weather adventures. It’s time to bring in your Spring and Summer gear! What does that mean? Here’s a few ideas to inspire your gear closet clean out:
Kayaks, bikes, tents, packs, pfds, sandals, drytops, hiking boots, camp stoves, camp pads, sleeping bags, bike parts, hitch mount racks, and much much more!
If you do anyovernight backpacking, or even long distance hiking, there’s a good chance that at some point you may need to go Number Two.
Because of heavy land use and impacts to natural resources (not to mention water sources), this is not always as simple as doing your business and covering it with a rock or a handful of pine needles.
In fact, depending on where you go, you may be required to carry an approved pooping system even if you swear on your loaded lower intestine that you will hold it in no matter what.
Here’s a quick run down on backcountry toilet systems.
The time’s come. You’ve got your lightweight backpack, a comfy sleeping bag (of quilt), a sleeping pad that doesn’t (yet) leak air, a cool tent, a nifty little stove, and a hankering to get out and use it all. Let’s go!
