    Choosing Merino Wool Base Layers

    I like the Black Ovis merino. I wear there boxers everyday, I’ve got ss/ls light weight shirts and I just bought my second qz hoodie because I pretty much live in the one I had.

    OR Crocs - Return or repair?

It was a quick trip just a speed hike to the end of a trail that offered me a long view with some nature to look over. I didn’t spend much time picking the area apart...

    Let see your best camp photos!

    It not the same type of camp most of you are posting but my backcountry plans got canceled this season and I like this pic. This is my cousin working up a forkey while his dad and my dad supervise. He passed up a 4x4 because the forkey had a weird eye growth.
