Snugpak Stratosphere, a cold and wet day of testing.

I had to wait for some nasty weather to film part two of the snugpak system tests. Lets just say I forget how miserable being cold and wet could be. Although I have some ideas to improve for a winter setting it was a good test overall. The video should be up soon.

Down Range and Other Manmade Danger in the Woods.



Yesterday morning was range day at work (perfect score day I may add), and as I was looking down at my shotgun I thought about hunting seasons and the dangers for non-hunters out in the woods. Now if you're like me this season is some of the best hiking / camping, no bugs and I'm not sweating to death. 
One thing to remember is this time of year you better not be dressed like a deer stomping around on game trails. This is especially important for our four legged trail buddies. All joking aside, this can be a dangerous time of year, and not just because of the weather. 
This line of thinking brought me to the next thought; we should be where we are supposed to be in the wild. One thing I always caution people about is so called stealth camping, to include hiking off trail. The dangers of stealth camping this time of year are not only a stray bullet from a hunter's firearm, but from a person who believes you're not supposed to be there all together. 
Between injuries, wildlife, and weather we all know the dangers of the wilderness; but we rarely take into consideration the human factor. Between the crazy trail guy, the hunter with poor aim, or the drug dealers whose marijuana farm you stumbled upon. These have all been realistic dangers that people don’t anticipate as a threat. 
So what can you do to minimize your risk? Stick to the trails, the state parks, and other areas your access is permitted. Tell someone were you are going and how long you are going to be gone. Bring the proper equipment for the proper excursion. Be smart, be safe, and don't take unreasonable risks, you will be able to enjoy this seasons for years to come.
