Gnara Go There Pants
Guest review by Barbara Hansen
Gnara’s Go There ™ Pants are an idea whose time has come. Need to pee discretely in the great outdoors? Just unzip and go. It’s as easy as that—no need to squat. I was able to stand up, which allowed me to keep my backpack on while performing this ritual. I highly recommend them for women who hike, backpack, climb, and ski. They’re stretchy and have a great fit and feel with wonderfully deep pockets, which are nearly impossible to find in women’s pants. So GO out THERE and enjoy these innovative PANTS.

Helinox Table 1 Hard Top L
I LOVE this little table. I’ve used similar lightweight, packable tables for years—they’re perfect for checking with your luggage when you’re flying somewhere to camp. And the Table 1 Hard Top from Helinox is the best of the best. First—and most importantly—it’s sturdy and more rigid than most, perfect for cooking dinner. It weighs only 3.4 lbs., packs down to a very manageable 23.5 x 6.5 inches, and assembles in the blink of an eye.

Therm-a-Rest MondoKing 3D Sleeping Pad
The MondoKing™ 3D Sleeping Pad from Therm-a-Rest® takes a comfortable night’s sleep to a whole new level. Boasting four inches of loft and measuring 25 x 77 inches, it’s like sleeping at the Sheraton. It’s not a pad that I would carry in a pack—it weighs 4 lbs., 6 oz, and when packed up, measures 26 x 10.3 in—but for car camping, it’s deluxe. The stretch knit fabric is breathable and smooth against your skin, and the MondoKing is super warm (R-Value of 7.0). Inflation and deflation are a breeze, thanks to Therm-a-Rest’s ingenious TwinLock ™ Valve, and it comes with a built-in pump sack.
