Dockers Outdoor Clothing Review

The popular brand Dockers is releasing a line of outdoor specific clothing for fall of 2008. We got a chance to review some of the clothes before they hit the shelves.

The Dockers Outdoor line features eco-friendly materials including recycled polyester and organic cotton. Some garments are made entirely of these materials, others are blends. I think itÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s great to see the big brands moving in this direction.

High Sierra Monsoon Backpack Review

The High Sierra Monsoon features a flip-down strap pocket for your MP3 player and a FLEX-USE sleeve to carry your laptop or hydration pack. The backpack’s pockets open wide for easy-access. A pocket on top of the pack allows for sunglasses or goggles storage, and a small pocket in the front of the pack holds a deluxe organizer. The Monsoon has a capacity of 2400 cubic inches.

Summer Outdoor Retailer Wrap Up -- I Will Campaign

Submitted by nationaloutdoors on Tue, 2008-08-12 09:39

As I leave the show, I think about all the great people I've met over the last four days. It's cool to see the hard working people behind the products and companies. Most conversations begin with the standard product pitch and end with a swapping of stories about our outdoor adventures. I love hearing about how fellow parents are introducing their children to the outdoors. At the end of the day (and the Outdoor Retailer Show), we're all after the same goal. Making a living doing what we love.

The Big Trees

I wrote previously about feeling drawn to the forests, and as I have thought more about it over the past couple weeks I came to realize that what I was really craving was a particular type of deep woods serenity that I have only experienced a few times in the coast range along the Pacific. Well it turns out that this type of forest is actually more rare than I realized.

I saw this sled at the Outdoor Retailers show. They had a few sleds on display and a video showing the sled in action. Click on the image to the right to see a larger view of the sled and the features.
