Los Angeles is known for celebrities, hot night clubs, and expensive real estate. But one little activity we love to do in LA is camp! Way back in the mountains you’ll find hiking, camping, bungee jumping, fishing, and even gold panning. We took a trip back into those mountains a few weeks ago and Continue reading

With all the gear we take outdoors, there are a few items we could afford to lose. Here are 5 items I ditched and why I moved on…
Lantern– I love my lantern! I’ve played hundreds of card games under it and carried it with me for miles on night hikes BUT I discovered something- the head lamp! I know, right?! It took that long for me to cave in but I love my head lamp! It is light weight and small, fitting perfectly into my front pocket of my backpack for easy, quick access. Continue reading

Here is the Gregory Saga 55 backpack. I love this backpack because of the large pockets, limited zippers for restricted space, and the adjustable straps to make this a custom-fit backpack!
Does anyone have a great backpack they love?!

When I first started camping, it was pretty costly. We had to buy the tent, sleeping bag, stove, backpack, and the list goes on and on. Its safe to say we wanted to get products at a cheap price. We needed a sleeping pad and the cheapest one we found was a Coleman sleeping pad for $30 at Walmart. They claim its self-inflating and holds up al night but you have to blow it up yourself multiple times during the night. You don’t get a good night sleep while using this pad- and a good night’s sleep is super important to me! Continue reading

Hi everyone! I have done two separate videos of me setting up for REI Half Dome 2 tent and tearing it down.

The setting up was my first instructional video and I had a big scarf AND kept getting it wrong- still set it up in under 5 minutes!!! 🙂
