Try paddling on your own two feet

Are you an "early adopter"? You know, one of those people who flock to the newest, the latest, the trendiest. I'm not.

Weighty questions

If you read some of the print publications, websites and blogs devoted to the fine art of backpack camping, you'd likely get the impression that carrying one extra gram of weight in your pack is a sin punishable by hours of purgatory on the hiking trail.

Beware: big-time tick time

My apologies if you've heard this before - I've written on this same subject several times over the years.
