With Liberty and Undies for all I picked up a couple of pairs of moisture wicking boxer briefs in JC Penny's for backpacking. Unfortunately, I didn't see the Champion C9 stuff at Target before hand. I've got a coupl... |

Golite Jam I bought my GoLite Jam on closeout, since I was gearing up completely and needed to save money where I could. However, after trying the pack out, I have to say it was money well spent. I currently r... |

Petzl e+LITE I got caught out past dark, and my e+Light really saved my butt. On maximum, it was enough to help me find my way for the next couple of miles to get to camp, and help me set up. I didn't notice... |
