Posted in Gear, Hiking Gear, tagged , , , , on June 4, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Walker’s backpack carrier, a Deuter KidComfort III, has some sun protection but not a lot (all the kid carriers are like this – a small amount of coverage – although the III covers the most that I have seen). Walker is very fair skinned, hates hats and I am constantly worried about him getting too [...]

Awhile back Kirk had gifted me a Canon PowerShot G11 camera but I wasn’t carrying it much due to not having a case for it. Having carried tiny compact digital cameras that could hang off my sternum strap, going to the G11 was a pretty big difference. But I had wanted one that might take [...]

Kirk and I have been toying around with a iMainGoX speaker system of late. It has a couple features that will make it excellent for hiking and travel (even though it isn’t the lightest). While aimed at the iPod crowd (of which I have been happily carrying one while hiking for many years now), the [...]
