    Remember Those Hiking Boots

    Thanks for sharing killeroy 154. I am finding if and when wide is available it is not in my size or it is way way too expensive. It seems even top producers of any kind of shoe do not keep very many in stock. When I do their surveys I always complain about lack of available stock. So many are...

    Snowshoes? What type to buy?

    I am looking to expand my outdoor experience and been looking at and pricing snowshoes. Some are rounded at the end and some are long and V shaped. Which type is best for short hikes or walks in deep snow? I have seen some nice sets with trekking staffs or poles included. This seems like a...

    Barrel Hauling Backpack...

    It seems like it looks a bit uncomfortable for women as the bottom of barrel would be riding on hips and lower back. I can see the it as a good thing when boating as it would float easier and keep foods dry. For men being able to carry that weight and shape it seems like a good idea.

    Sleeping Bag Suit

    My thought was while camping at night it might be nice, but during the day it might cause a person to sweat inside the suit and feel dampness instead of warmth. But as a safety suit for on the road breakdowns or indoor warmth in the winter it might be worth having.
