In February, while attending the Outdoor Adventure Show, I met up with Ingo from KIHD Products. They make an amazing stick stove that I have heard nothing but good things about. I spent some time talking to Ingo at the show and happily picked up one of their stoves to test out. The stove I got was the KIHD Deluxe. Since receiving my concussion on January 3rd, I have not been able to go camping. [...]

A few weeks before the hot tent was done, I 'd made plans to take it out into the backcountry with my friend Sue, from Sue's Outdoor Crew. She had spent the weekend before making a sled so she could carry her gear on it and some of the items needed for our weekend. The day before our trip, we had some issues locating a good spot to camp as it's very difficult to find [...]

I completed my new backcountry hot tent just in time for the weekend. It was a tough and stressful week, but I made it and I was super excited! I had created a new hot tent recently to use in the backcountry as my DIY Tipi was just too heavy. Before I took it out into the backcountry though, I wanted to test it out somewhere safe, so as with past trials, I decided to [...]
