Leatherman Wave Multi Tool

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Not to hot, not to cold, but that perfect time of the year for camping. Now without fail when I go out to the woods for a long weekend, I will always bring my Swiss army knife. However, (as you campers know) there is always a new situation you get yourselves in, and often times a regular pocketknife just doesn’t have the tool you need. The Leatherman Wave Multi Tool is one of the most essential pieces of camping equipment regardless where you go. Recently modified for longer tools, the Wave multi tool includes various pliers, blades, files, drivers, a saw, a ruler, a can opener, wire cutters, wire strippers, scissors, and includes various screw bits. Constructed of stainless steel, the Leatheman Wave is extremely durable and weather resistant, and only weighs 8.5 oz.! With included lanyard attachment, you can hook the Leatherman onto a carabineer or onto a belt loop to always keep it on your person. This is a great stocking stuffer for the family member who loves to get back to nature.

Patagonia Apparel for Men and Women

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Campers, hikers, backpackers, and all others who appreciate nature understand the importance of “going green”. The more waste and toxins that are released quickly destroy the natural habitat of animals, vegetation, and therefore remove the beauty of the outdoors. Buying Patagonia Apparel for Men and Women helps to alleviate such destruction due to the recycled polyester used to construct the fabric. This Patagonia Flash pull over for example is a low bulk high warmth piece of camping apparel that will keep you comfortable in various weather conditions (including cold, wind, and rain) and is constructed of various recycled polyesters and spandex, which can actually be recycled if you ever want to throw it away! The pull over features an off center zip up (for chin comfort), chest zipper, and a high collar for wind protection. Sold through Altrec.com the Patagonia pieces of green gear are currently being sold at a discount for the upcoming holiday season. For any true camper out there, you know this is the only way to equip yourself against the elements, while being as Earth friendly as possible.
