This daypack ended up being the cheapest after a quick perusal. For the second overnight hike in which I used the pack, I left the hammock at home and stuffed an REI Stratus insulated pad and lightweight bivy inside. I was a little concerned with how the straps would distribute weight. Prior to taking it… Continue reading Good Design: The Ozark Trail 1-Person Backpacking Tent

By default, this unexpectedly ended up being my go-to daily bag for ozark trail chair several months. It’s been stuffed to capacity with almost everything I had to carry, including, but not limited to, outerwear, lunch, groceries, laptop, iPad, a Bose speaker, and combinations thereof. I am a 6-foot tall male, weighing 185 lbs and… Continue reading Good Design: The Ozark Trail 1-Person Backpacking Tent

My son and daughter each took one of these on a trip through Europe and they carried it on every plane, train, and bus they rode without any problems. It’s also small enough that it wasn’t inconvenient for them to have it with them everyday. Aside from the main pack bag, there is a small… Continue reading Good Design: The Ozark Trail 1-Person Backpacking Tent

For these styles, it seems most people want their head at the door side and so they have a constraint for which way the tent is set up if the ground is not flat.

I recently attended a seminar that explained the major difference of carrying lighter gear while outdoors. And I do day hikes in Sequoia National Park and on the coast. I sweated just a bit but not too much since the walk was short (and I didn’t want to sweat after a shower). I did finish… Continue reading Good Design: The Ozark Trail 1-Person Backpacking Tent

I’ll be totally honest, I was not expecting this cooler to be as nice as it was. It’s easy to get caught up in brand perception and often times very difficult to break away from what you think you know about a brand. I used the word “think” intentionally, because what I thought I knew… Continue reading Good Design: The Ozark Trail 1-Person Backpacking Tent

Rounding out the exterior is a lid that features 4 cup holders and inch notches for measuring your catch of the day. Our sister site Alloutdoor.com recently reviewed a hiking backpack sold by Ozark Trail that had an overall stellar performance and it triggered a question among our staff. Is Walmart’s Ozark Trail brand a… Continue reading Good Design: The Ozark Trail 1-Person Backpacking Tent

Not too small, but not too large (and thus wasteful) – a Goldilocks design. After all, I had to be sensitive to weight as we were required to carry our own water for 10 miles as there were no options for filtering during that stretch. In the following paragraphs I share just a few design… Continue reading Good Design: The Ozark Trail 1-Person Backpacking Tent
