This winter I had the chance to taste test and try some of Boulder-based TrailFork‘s dehydrated meal kits and I really enjoy them as a quick and hearty meal. The first thing that struck me first was TrailFork’s mission, summarized as: “to educate adventurers about their environmental impact, and we aim to make food that…
We just got introduced to a great locally manufactured backpack from Boulder Pack Co. Its a great size, folds into a small pouch, has plenty of pockets in addition to the main one, room for two water bottles on the sides, and even comes with a carabiner to attach other accessories. Now we’ve owned our…
We’ve been enjoying the (melted) snow this summer by taking our paddleboards out on the nearby pond. I have some big ratchet straps to store them up in the garage but they’re a bit much for simply throwing a board on the car roof and driving down the road… Recently Klik Belts offered to let…
We’re huge fans of Colorado-based Sport Bumper and use the Ski Bumper every time we go skiing. Denver local Bo Pitto founded Sport Bumper back in the fall of 2011 and has been constantly working on new product technology and designs, sourcing new materials, and getting into more stores. Not only is Sport Bumper designed…

Over the 4th of July weekend our plans called for some camping. So we took the opportunity to test drive a Toyota 4Runner up to the west side of Gross Reservoir. Gross Reservoir is a little east of Nederland near the Coal Creek Canyon. From Arvada, it’s just a 30 – 45 minute drive up…
I’m notoriously adverse to shopping for clothes. Most of the time a trip to the mall feels somewhat akin to pulling teeth, unless I’m shopping for outdoor winter gear. I’m pretty sure I could shop for fleeces and coats and mittens all day. One of my favorite gear advances in recent years is the double…
Earlier this year at the SIA Snow Show, we met with Martin Breach, inventor of the SkiA Sweetspot Trainer. As we approached the booth we saw him standing, slightly crouched, in a pair of ski boots with what appeared to be a lego beneath each. As we soon came to learn, he was demonstrating the…
