We look at gear as a tool. And like all gear and c We look at gear as a tool. And like all gear and clothing, it wears out. ... We use our gear, and Utah tends to beat on it. A lot. So, we replace the gear and clothing. And occasionally stumbled upon something new that works. Here’s what worked well for us that’s new in 2022. Now, this list has some “cheats” in the sense some of it got acquired previously but came into its own in 2022. And some items we already like (Joan’s Squak, my Etsy double-lined fleece mittens) are too new for us to give at least somewhat of a longer-term view. Maybe next year! .... We replaced and swapped in a lot of gear this past year, mainly clothing. Going out often, and in the desert, means a string of gear and equipment repairs or replacing. .. With all that in mind, here’s the gear and clothing we particularly liked in 2022 for our outdoor pursuits. .. 🥾 Link in profile ⛺ #hiking #backpacking #camping #militarysurplus #cheapoutdoorgear @lightheart_gear @sixmoondesigns @thetrailshow
Thanks to a coupon and a gift card with @backofbey Thanks to a coupon and a gift card with @backofbeyondbooks I'm able to justify purchasing this book set on my wish list. Already lost time going down a wormhole. Looking forward to many years of consulting this reference classic! .. #utah #coloradoplateau
A swell time over Thanksgiving ... @ramblinghemloc A swell time over Thanksgiving ... @ramblinghemlock and I spent part of the Thanksgiving holiday with our friend Mike. We hiked, camped, and saw pictographs and petroglyphs over old travel paths. ... #hiking #camping #pictographs #petroglyphs #utah
@ramblinghemlock uses her gear and clothing for a @ramblinghemlock uses her gear and clothing for a long time. Alas, it all wears out. Joan's replacing some long-time gear and clothing, including her 2011 Melly fleeces. .. She went with the Utah-based @squakmountainco grid fleece hoodie as an active-use replacement. So far, she likes it and has shared her thoughts. I included my .05 worth as well. .. 🧥 LINK IN PROFILE ⛺
Into the canyon ... Another backpacking trip into Into the canyon ... Another backpacking trip into the canyon bottom. I don't think we'll ever tire of the early winter light where the images seem prominent, the alcoves with structures always feel warm, and the canyon views seem that much crisper. And a hot drink post-trip, sipping it on the tailgate, and taking in the last views of the canyon below, always seem welcoming. ... #hiking #backpacking #camping #utah #pictographs #petroglyphs
Sunblesa H11 review .... For those who like the c Sunblesa H11 review .... For those who like the classic 2017 Nitecore Nu25, this headlamp's similar, with a few additional features. And, unlike the newer NU25s, still has that great two-button feature for light selection. ... I found that rather than something new, I found a refinement to the classic NU25 that’s slightly lighter with some features that make the Sunblesa H11 a viable alternative. Especially if Nitecore phases out the 2017 model. ... **🎒 Review via link in profile 🔦 ** #hiking #backpacking #camping
