After procrastinating and basically being lazy I finally got my rear in gear and went for a backpacking trip. The trail is the Granite Creek Trail that ends at Granite lakes. A nice 2700 foot elevation in about 4 miles. Went for the hammock which was a good choice as there were no camp spots. First time with my new Osprey Exos 58, and cooked with the MSR Trial Mini Solo.

My new poles for 2023 are the Goat Stix from Get Out Gear. https://shopgogear.com/products/copy-of-carbon-fiber-trekking-poles They came with my Get Out Gear Trekking Pole backpacking chair, but are worthy on their own if you are considering getting some new poles. I compared them with all the top poles and they are comparable if not better. Carbon fiber, cork contour grips, metal flick-locks, and weigh the same. They have also beefed up the carbon at the tip end 50%, which is the weak spot on poles. Weighing less than comparable aluminum poles, these poles are constructed with 50% more carbon fiber where it counts, allowing you to trek with confidence. All metal flip lock construction is field serviceable, requiring no tools, to ensure mechanical failures don’t hinder your next adventure. Ultra plush hand straps, coupled with moisture wicking cork handles, and the superior vibration dampening characteristics of carbon fiber.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/warmbond/bondstove-innovative-versatile-smokeless-fire-pit FB - WARMBOND | Facebook Ins - https://www.instagram.com/warmbondofficial/ Warmbond sent me their woodstove that they are putting out on Kickstarter. I love going to the river nearby and setting up a fire and cookout right next to the water, and with rivers, at least ours that could be near or far depending on what the river wants. Also I have become used to bringing my own firepit to camp areas as the ones provided many times are full of debris, or built on. I really like the size, not too big, not too small. They went with a more square design, as it probably helped set them apart. That did not impress or distract for me, but it did help in packing the truck. I found all the materials and workmanship top-notch. From the metalwork to any fabric materials sewn were all quality. The secondary burn feature, which is the point to this style, works great when needed and it provided a near smokeless experience. I have others and their will be smoke at times.

I have used this scale for 3 years now and although it is not a glamorous piece of gear it has been very helpful and simple. https://jetboil.johnsonoutdoors.com/parts-accessories/fuel-related/jetgauge Check the fuel level of any Jetboil canister before you leave the house with the Jetboil JetGauge. An easy-to-read digital output accurately displays a canister's fuel content, so you'll know whether new canisters are necessary for the trip. The JetGauge offers three settings to accommodate 100-gram, 230-gram, and 450-gram JetPower canisters. Plan ahead by determining how much fuel you will need for each meal using Jetboil's convenient usage guide. Although it's engineered for Jetboil canisters, the JetGauge is compatible with most isobutane/propane backpacking fuel canisters. Weighs 3 ounces.

Spent the weekend using the Hilleberg Helags 2 and needed to do some cleaning and little video. I love the new versions of more lightweight gear Hilleberg is putting out, while keeping the robust, wind/weather fighting designs. I had 2 dogs in with me and the ventilation kept the condensation gone. Roomy, light, and comfortable, THE NEW HELAGS MODELS are outstanding choices for those looking for comfort and low weight for their adventures during the snow-free times of the year. Their two vestibule configuration results in an inner tent with vertical ends, near vertical sidewalls, and full sitting height throughout the tent. Curved patterning on the bottom of the outer tent walls provides full-time ventilation without compromising protection from rain, and all-mesh inner tent doors promote impressive air flow. For even more venting (and for great views), both vestibule doors can be rolled away completely. Patterned after the Red Label Kaitum, the Helags is an excellent "all-rounder." It excels at mobile journeys, where you pitch your tent and take it down frequently, and it is equally at home on a variety of adventures. Backpackers, paddlers and bicycle tourers will all love its lightweight roominess, and since the Helags 3 weighs just 200 g (7 oz) more than the Helags 2, sizing up is an easy choice for those wanting even more comfort.

We have had the Nemo Stargaze chairs for about a year now and have come to love them. They were to be our camp chairs, but have become our favorite chairs for the backyard as well. Stargaze has been re-engineered for even more comfort and stability, with a lower center of gravity and extended fit range. This first-ever swinging and reclining camp chair takes relaxation to a new level. The swinging offers an exciting new sitting experience, with a relaxing motion that is designed for comfort. And when you’re ready to recline, simply lean back to activate the auto-reclining mechanism and enjoy a great view of the stars. Unlike rocking chairs, this chair is designed for use on any surface, including rocky, sandy, or uneven ground, bringing the relaxation of motion to a host of new environments. The aircraft-grade aluminum is designed to flex while you swing, dynamically suspending you in the air for an entirely new sitting experience. The deep lounge position is hard to beat. Stargaze has all the little comforts you love, including an adjustable headrest, a no-spill cupholder, and a stash pocket to keep your little things close at hand. This is the chair you’ll want to take to camp, the beach, tailgating, your backyard, or even your kid’s soccer game sidelines. The chair setup is intuitive and easy with just three quick steps, so you can set it up and pack it up into the included padded carrying case quickly. The case comes with a shoulder strap and has room for you to stash your phone and keys. You’ll never think of sitting in the same way!

Here in Washington State there is a lot of trailhead theft. Every trailhead I go to for the last several years either has glass all over, or cars with the windows smashed out. I am attaching some trailcams, these are Stealthcams, to my brush guard and hope to at least deter thieves. I am mounting them where hopefully they will be seen right away and make the thieves just go away. But, they will still take pictures and maybe we can start catching the culprits.

Nitecore sent me their superbright HC68 2000 lumen headlamp. It is way overkill for backpacking, but I have found many other sports like dirtbiking and skiing where a headlamp like this will be awesome. The Nitecore HC68 is a very bright focusable headlamp. It emits a max brightness of 2000 lumen white light that reaches up to 220 yards. You can continuously adjust the beam profile between a focused spotlight and a wide flood light beam. Its 150° degree truevision wide angle flood beam covers your entire field of vision and the 180° vertical pivot provides you the ultimate control. The HC68 also comes with two auxiliary red LEDs for hunting, insect repelling, or low light conditions. This makes the HC68 an ideal headlamp for camping, running, trekking, biking, or any professional work such as industrial maintenance, security, or patrol. USB-C Rechargeable The HC68 headlamp comes with a 3500mAh high capacity 18650 battery that supports an exceptional 800 hours of runtime on ultra low. You can fast charge the headlamp via its protected USB-C charging port. The LED light beneath the power switch doubles as a charging status indicator and battery power indicator. Easy to Use and Comfortable to Wear HC68 is super easy to use with its large power switch and top side stepless focus adjustment buttons. Hold down the (+) button for stepless adjustment up to 1800 lumen piercing spotlight or hold down the (-) button for a wide beam up to a 1400 lumen floodlight. Triple tap the power switch to activate the red light. With the quality you can trust from the Nitecore brand, the HC68 headlamp is rated IP68 waterproof and safe from a total submersion and even drop safe for up to 2 meters. The HC68 is an indispensable tool you can count on no matter if you are at work or have fun outside.

he Twinpeak is a two pole octagonal shaped hot tent designed for cold weather winter camping. It is simple to set up using 2 poles and 8 stakes.

Depending on what I get with a tent I will make them more useful or easier to use. Especially if I am going to use a tent in the snow or other crappy conditions, I will make it so I can adjust up at the tie-out point rather than down at the stake at the ground. This keeps the knots and adjusters out of the snow and easier to adjust. This is awesome if you a tarp user as you can hold you trekking pole and make adjustments at the same position. Great in the worst condtions.
