Ruffwear Mt. Bachelor Pad

E April 18, 2016February 1, 2021 Leave a comment

Willow is a weirdo. It is obscene how many dog beds I have bought and how much money I have spent over the years on beds that she might very well never use. Everything from Costco $30 beds to $100, waterproof liner covered, memory foam beds from Orvis. If given the choice (and she alway does …

BernieDawg DragonTamer3 Damper Cap

E April 17, 2016January 11, 2018 11 Comments

For some background on our MSR DragonFly stove and the reason for a device such as this you might want to read our review of the QuietStove damper first. Just a suggestion. TL;DR: Works amazing. Approximately 10dB quieter than the stock stove which is substantial. Boils water much faster as well. No moving parts=nothing to break. …

Ruffwear Dog Boots

E March 12, 2016February 1, 2021 Leave a comment

The saying “There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing” is as true for dogs as it is for humans. Our adventures take us to a wide variety of ecosystems and weather types. One week we can be deep in a forest in 99% humidity with soft, moist ground. Our next stop might find us …

Red Tails In Love

E March 12, 2016November 30, 2016 Leave a comment

One of the books we came across at a Little Free Library somewhere in Phoenix was titled Red Tails in Love. We had no idea who Marie Winn the author was, are not fans of “love stories,” but do have a deep love and appreciation for raptors and so took a chance and brought it along with us …

“When a man must be afraid to drink freely from his country’s river and streams that country is no longer fit to live in. ” – Edward Abbey Back when I was a youngster my parents took my sister and I backpacking all over the Sierras and up and down the California Coast. I can …

Grundens Foul Weather Gear

E December 12, 2015February 28, 2017 Leave a comment

Don’t get me wrong – I love my Gore-Tex outerwear. It is light, packable, extremely water-resistant and stylish as well and so that’s what I use those items for. Then there are times when work must get done. Times that the activity I’m undertaking or the task I’m performing demand something more suited to those …

Super Birkis

E December 12, 2015February 28, 2017 Leave a comment

Another great footwear option for a wet, dirty environment are Birkenstock’s Super Birki Clogs. When you just have to step outside for a quick chore these are easy to step into and slip out of. No need to touch them with your hands and no need for a boot jack. No straps to move or …

Muck Brand boots

E December 12, 2015December 1, 2016 Leave a comment

As the name implies these are a great option for when you need to stomp around in muck and simply hose them off when done. The first time I lived in a farm environment it was on a sheep ranch in Humboldt county. That equals wet, mud and sheep shit. The owners of the ranch …

The Ramp

E December 11, 2015December 1, 2016 Leave a comment

When we are in camping mode for more than a day I wanted to give Willow a way to get in and out of the shell area of the Tacoma at will. With her somewhat reduced mobility we looked for a solution to give her the freedom and flexibility to live her life on her terms and this ramp seemed …
