Tribe Provisions Adventure Hammock

Tribe Provisions Adventure Hammock Review

I’m going to let you in a little secret. Lately I’ve been pretty lazy, and I’m learning that it’s okay. It’s okay to not have an epic peak to bag. It’s okay to not put in tens of miles in one weekend. It’s okay to take it easy, find a beautiful spot and just chill.

That’s what I did for the 4th of July and when I took my brother out for his first time in the backcountry. Sometimes I need it. And on those trips, I tend to load up my pack with little luxuries like the Tribe Provisions Adventure Hammock. I mean, a couple extra ounces or even a few extra pounds doesn’t hurt for those short trips, right?

Backpacking Meiss Lake, Mokelumne Wilderness

Backpacking Meiss Lake, Mokelumne Wilderness Trip Report

My little brother just got back from a brief stint of backpacking through Europe. With his heart still full of adventure, he asked me to take him out somewhere, anywhere. He didn’t give me any criteria and said he was down for whatever, but the first time someone goes backpacking will obviously make or break their experience. After much hemming and hawing, Meiss Lake in Mokelumne Wilderness was my pick.

Norrøna Bitihorn Lightweight Pants

Norrona bitihorn lightweight pants review

When I flew into Oslo for my Norway trip, one of the first things I did was pop into the Norrøna flagship store in Sentrum. I couldn’t pass up a trip to see Norrøna in real life! They’re finally making their way to the United States for Spring 2019.

I told myself I would only try things on and wait to buy stuff back home because of the exchange rate. But then I saw the Norrøna bitihorn pants in Hot Chili aka bright, obnoxious orange, and I had to have it. Backcountry definitely did not have this color in stock.

Eat This: Paleo Meals to Go

Paleo Meals to Go Review

Freeze dried backpacking food—though filling and absolutely delicious when you’re ravenously hungry—isn’t always the healthiest of choices out there. My diet isn’t gluten-free or paleo by any means—because chocolate chip cookies—but I try to eat clean when I can. With Paleo Meals to Go, you don’t have to worry about that list of ingredients and whether or not it works with your diet; they’ve taken care of that for you.
