Best Pocket Knives, How to Wash a Rain Jacket, and more! ☁🍂🐾

Hi Friends!

We hope fall is treating you well. Here in the Northwest, autumn is really starting to kick into gear and nights are getting longer and cooler. We're still enjoying some sunny days, but we find ourselves reaching for our puffy jackets, rain boots, and headlamps more often as we stay active and connected to the outdoors.

Meanwhile, we've been chipping away at some new gear guides for you, including a list of the Best Pocket Knives on the market. We put a ton of hard work into it and we think you're going to dig it!

As always, thanks for following along and hit us up on social media.

Best Pocket Knives
We think a good pocket knife is an essential everyday tool, so we spent hours researching, pouring over customer ratings, and sifting through specs, testing, and working up a detailed side-by-side analysis to determine each knife’s key strengths and weaknesses to make it easy for you to find a knife that suits you.

Best Hiking Boots
View Men's/ View Women's
People gravitate towards hiking boots for their durability, ankle support, and because they’re more effective at keeping your feet dry. We’ve researched, broken in, and trail-tested dozens of hiking boots to bring you this list of the very best boots on the market.

Backpacking on a Budget
Whether you’re just starting out or updating your old gear, backpacking can be expensive… really expensive. With all of the options out there to compare, it’s hard to know where to start. We compiled this list of our favorite tips for backpacking on a budget, many of which don’t require spending at all.

Ultimate Backpacking Checklist
After years of honing our backpacking gear to perfect the balance of weight, comfort, and preparedness, these are the items you’ll find in our backpacks. We’ve organized the Ultimate Backpacking Checklist categorically to make it easier for you to gather your backpacking gear for your next trip.

How to Wash a Rain Jacket & Pants
If you’ve ever been caught in a backcountry downpour, you know how important it is to have high-quality rain gear functioning at its full potential. Being cold and wet in the wilderness is not only extremely uncomfortable, it's also incredibly dangerous. Luckily, caring for rain gear is a simple task.

10 Best Down Jackets
It’s all too easy for us fur-less, featherless humans to start to feel like popsicles when we venture out into the cold. Thankfully, down jackets exist so we can spend time in the chilly outdoors in relative comfort. Down and synthetic jackets are lightweight, packable, and highly efficient at trapping body heat.

GEAR PICK OF THE WEEK

Solo Stove Lite, Campfire & Bonfire
Backpacking & Camping Stoves

Whether you're backpacking, car camping, or just hangin' in the backyard, sometimes evening just doesn’t feel complete without a fire, which is why we love Solo Stove. All three sizes, the Lite (backpacking), Campfire (car camping), and Bonfire (camping, RV, or home use) are gasifier stoves that create hot, efficient, and nearly smoke-free fires that don't scorch the ground. These stoves are super easy to start and they keep burning with only twigs and small pieces of wood that you can find laying around in most campsites. They work great for cooking simple one-pot meals too. If you’re like us though, you’ll enjoy keeping the fire burning for entertainment long after you’ve finished your meal. We love gathering around our Solo Stoves to warm our hands and watch the mesmerizing flames on leisurely trips.
