Open Question: Best way to store food while backcountry camping?

For a 6 night back country hiking trip, in Killarney ON, with 3-4 guys, is it more efficient to take a food barrel with harness or for everyone to put their food in an airtight stuff sack and carry it themselves. Obviously both containers would have to be hung at night to avoid bears and other animals.

Photo of the day - Non-royal wedding

Filed under: , , , ,

Photo of the day
Well, it's all over. Whether you woke up in the middle of the night to watch Will and Kate get married or ignored the deluge of media coverage, today's historic Royal Wedding has said "I do" and we can all breath a collective sigh of relief that we can stop hearing about it. We're still feeling a bit romantic here at Gadling, so today's Photo of the Day is of another wedding couple leaving the scene of the ceremony, taken by Flickr user e.r.g.o. in Sri Lanka. He notes that the wedding was on a Wednesday morning, to coincide with the most astrologically auspicious time.

Photograph any happy couples on your travels? Add your photos to the Gadling Flickr pool and we may use one for another Photo of the Day.

Your Laptop?s Best Friend!

    Hey, what?s going on here? I thought this was a site showing and recommending quality recreational and camping equipment!

Yes - but a lot of today?s campers and recreationalists have become avid bloggers and photographers, so stuff sacks have become very hi-tech! There is so much you can do with your laptop computer during those seemingly endless rainy days huddled under the tarp or those hot summer afternoons lazing by the lake. You can write and archive long email dairies to your friends and family, describing the hike you?ve just been on, downloading the pictures from your camera to free up space on your memory card, or write an eyewitness account of the Sasquatch sighting you just experienced! Maybe even use the Wi Fi service at that fishing lodge you are finally able to visit. Introducing ? ta da ? your laptop?s best friend! This is probably the world?s best and toughest laptop case - a case that can both bounce around in the back of a dusty pickup or fit snugly in your SUV?s pristine roof box. This Pelican 1490 Laptop Computer Case is ideal for camping, since it?s padded, dustproof and watertight. Furthermore, it?s got ergonomically curved padded shoulder straps, allowing you to just sling it over your shoulder. The fact that this case is crush proof makes your precious laptop perfectly protected from a potentially fatal blow from your heavy cooler or heavy packs in the belly of a West Coast floatplane on the way back from that fishing trip.

The Pelican 1490 Laptop Computer Case is lightweight, with easy open Double Throw latches and has stainless steel hardware and padlock protectors, which will defy the attacks of salt water. The handle is comfortably over-padded and the case also has an automatic pressure equalization valve. It can accommodate a 15? screen laptop. It can also handle temperatures between 210 F and -10F (which is more than I can say for me). All in all, in this day and age, when people feel lost without their laptop, I think the Pelican 1490 Laptop Case may just become a favorite piece of camping equipment. Check it out.

The Flip is dead, but pocket camcorders live on

Technology has a natural life cycle. Products are introduced, gain acceptance, mature, start to lose appeal as something better (or at least newer) comes along, then fade from view entirely (except for the occasional garage-sale sighting). That's what was so startling about the news that Cisco had decided to kill off the Flip camcorder. Sure, the Flip no longer had that new tech luster. And, sure, the proliferation of smartphone devices (with their ability to capture video footage, even in HD) has started to nip away at the Flip's reason for being. Still, as a category, there's lots of life left in pocket camcorders, most experts say.

Open Question: Backpacking/camping clothes for hot weather?

I'm going to be backpacking and camping a lot this summer with some of my friends. They're already pretty educated and have all the proper equipment for it... I'm kind of new and I'd like to know what kind of clothing to wear to keep my pack light and my body sweat free and to retain odor. We'll be bathing, but mostly in like creeks and things..... I'm mostly asking for like, what brands? I checked out some north face stuff and it seems like most of it is protection against the cold. Also, should I get some chaco's or tennis shoes or boots or what? I'm trying to keep it cheap also, so I don't really want to invest in a 100 dollar pair of sandals like chacos.

I'd also just like some tips and things on what I should pack and what to do.
Also, I'm a girl.
I forgot to put this. I live in Tennessee and so weather wise, it'll be around the 80's-110's during summer... I'm not for sure on where we'll be going, but I guess I just mean in general clothing, what should I purchase for maximum practicality.

5 great ways to explore national parks under your own power

Filed under: , , , , , , , ,

Traveling through the national parks under your own power is its own rewardThere is no doubt that America's national parks are popular tourist destinations. The past few years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of visitors to the parks, and many of them have been setting attendance records as a result.

With the summer fast approaching, many of us are no doubt making plans for our vacations, with many electing to visit a national park once again this year. The vast majority of those visitors will never wander far from their car, but to get a true sense of what the parks have to offer, you really should ditch the vehicle and strike out under your own power. In doing so, you'll get a much better sense of the landscapes around you, and have a better chance of connecting with nature too. Here are five ways that you can do just that.

Hike the Great Smoky Mountains
With more than 800 miles of trail in Great Smoky Mountain National Park, there is a route for just about everyone. From short excursions and day hikes, to multi-day epics for the backpacker crowd, this is a park that is sure to please any outdoor enthusiast. With lush green forests, crystal clear streams, and breathtaking mountain tops, the Smoky Mountains have it all. But you can't experience the best they have to offer from you car, so put on your hiking shoes and hit the trail. I recommend the 8-mile round-trip hike to Charlies Bunion, a popular mountain walk that is more than worth the effort.

Raft The Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is truly one of the great natural wonders of the world. It is so vast in size and scope that you simply have to see it to truly understand just how large it really is. That size is magnified even further while you're rafting the mighty Colorado River, with the mile-high walls of the Canyon looming far overhead. Visitors have a number of options when it comes to paddling the river, ranging from short half and full day excursions to multi-day options lasting as much as 25 days in length. The whitewater in the Grand Canyon will have your heart pounding in your chest, and once you've calmed down from the adrenaline rush, you can enjoy a gentle drift down the Colorado, with those amazing landscapes completely surrounding you.

Researchers from the University of Maine have created biodegradable golf balls, made from ...

Golf balls may be small and the ocean may be huge, yet traditional plastic-skinned balls that are whacked into the sea are nonetheless a source of pollution, and a potential hazard to marine life – anyone remember the Seinfeld episode where a whale got one of Kramer's golf balls down its blowhole? It would certainly stand to reason that biodegradable balls would be the logical choice for golfers who want to use the ocean as their driving range, and such balls do already exist. A team from the University of Maine, however, have recently created golf balls made from lobster shells ... and they have a couple of advantages over similar products...

2012 Arctic Cat snowmobiles

2012-arctic-cat-pro-cross-xf.jpg

Arctic Cat improves trail performance, crossover and deep powder of its top tier 2012 snowmobiles even further. The newest edition of 2012 Arctic Cat sleds is defined by the very strong styling, characterized by aggressive lines and sharp angles. The latest Arctic Wishbone Suspension showcases tall spindles and skinny A-arms, which sit further apart than any other set of upper and lower pieces in snowmobiling history. And in order to maximize stroke to aggressively absorb bumps, your Cat snowmobile front suspension shocks angle back slightly. The steering feels light while lock-to-lock action is incredibly robust. The Arctic Cat 2012 series look and perform outstandingly.
