Gregory® Alpaca Duffel 60L
I loved my last duffel bag. It lasted close to 30 years. It had everything I wanted: lots of pockets, shoulder strap handles, water resistance, and just enough space for medium-sized camping trips and other excursions where a suitcase was not appropriate. It was hard to give up when it finally wore out. But the Gregory® Alpaca Duffel 60L fit the bill perfectly! At 60 liters, it’s just the right size for a long weekend, and it’s waterproof with backpack-style shoulder straps. And though it has fewer pockets, it features a handy packing cube. I’m guessing this one will last 30 years too!

MSR® WindBurner® Personal Stove System
Cooking in the backcountry should be as simple and straightforward as possible. The MSR® WindBurner® Personal Stove System makes dinnertime a breeze. It offers impressive wind resistance, excellent fuel efficiency and is easy to use. You’ll have boiling water before you can open your pouch of Mac & Cheese. The insulated 1-liter pot is the perfect size for a pair of hungry hikers, and the handle on the insulated cozy makes pouring a snap. Make no mistake: the Windburner does one thing and one thing only: it boils water fast. And that’s what I’m looking for.

There’s nothing like slipping into comfortable footwear after a day on the mountain. And when it comes to comfort, there’s nothing like a pair of Stegmann WoolFlex Comfort Clogs.
