Gear

For any ladies who are looking to purchase a backpacking pack, this is the article for you! This reviews the Osprey Aura Women's pack as well as provides an overall guide for shopping for the perfect pack for you.  

Finding the right gear to hike with is important.  It can keep you safe on long hikes as well as be your own personal fashion statement out on the trails.  This is a guide for all the ladies on how to pick out the perfect day pack to take on their adventures and a review of the Osprey Sirrus 24 Pack that I use for my own day hikes.  

The night is dark and full of terrors! Well at least it can feel that way when you’re 10 miles into the woods on a moonless night… or even when you are hiking down Spencer Butte after watching the sunset. Regardless of what might actually be out to get you in the woods, a good headlamp can do wonders for your peace of mind, and ability to travel or perform tasks around camp at night. That brings us to my favorite headlamp: the 1600LM CREE XM-L T6 LED.
