TIME TO REPLACE YOUR OLD BACKPACK?



For extended trips into the backcountry, there’s no getting around the fact that you’ll have to carry life-sustaining supplies on your back. The choice of a BACKPACK with the internal frame is without a doubt the best choice, for many reasons: for one thing, they hold the weight of your load close to your body, making it easier to maintain your balance on uneven terrain. Also, internals provide stiffness and support, but they are not completely rigid, which makes them more flexible when you’re doing active sports. Internals also sport slimmer shapes that allow for more arm movement in all directions–another big plus for off-trail bushwhackers, skiers and climbers. Last but not least, internal frame packs offer a greater range of adjustability in the shoulder harness and hip-belt than external frame packs.
The Fox 75+1 0 is packed with features normally found only on more expensive backpacks. Equipped with a top-loading main compartment and a generous sleeping bag compartment, the Fox features two hide-away side pockets and an expandable front section. The shoulder strap height is adjustable, allowing this pack to accommodate a wider range of torso lengths. Its contoured shoulder, lumbar, and hip pads help ensure a comfortable trip. Includes attached rain fly and is hydration system ready.

This backpack offers superior comfort and flexibility …why not save yourself the headache of packing your old, stiff, external frame backpack that always bumps you in the wron spot?? Ism’t it time to replace that old equipment with more modern comfort and lots more mobility on your extended BACKPACkING wilderness trips.

MUST HAVE Wilderness Equipment



No wilderness hiker is equipped without a compass and a good pair of gloves and hiking boots. There is something to be said for a GPS of course…..BUT , they can always run out of batteries! A good compass will always stand you in good stead and keep you on the right trails, especially if this is an orienteering compass.

Optronics - Nova Stove - 82 - Kitchen and Cooking

Features: The award this stove has received weighs more than the stove itself. An award winner many times over and the benchmark for outdoor cooking equipment standards, Optimus Nova has it all; performance, durability and ease of use. Outdoor adventures, including those on polar expeditions, rely on the Optimus Nova to fire up in a snap with its patented quick-priming burner. Users can rest assured knowing that the Optimus Nova will always burn strong and clean thanks to the built in MAGIC magnetic cleaning needle. Its self-purging Flipstop pump makes shutdown a task simple enough for one finger and despite the Optimus Nova’s long reach pot supports, it folds up smaller than its fuel tank. That means more room for food.
