Camping Gear & Outdoor Mountain Equipment

If your into mountain climbing or the outdoors in general then this watch is for you. The Suunto Core Wristop watch is the defacto standard for combo altimeter, barometer and compass watches. It’s glossy brushed metal bevel and tan leather strap are beautiful eye candy but it’s whats under the hood that counts.

The computer watch carries all standard functions expected in a high quality time piece with quite a few extras such as weather forecasting, navigation and even weather graphs. When climbing it is always good to know your altitude and how far you are from the finish and the Suuto Core will tell you exactly that. If your wondering when and where the sun will be coming up the watch will predict it with close accuracy.

Wind, rain or snow you will always have a warm and dry place to sleep when out camping with your partner. The Nemo Morpho AR is a bright and spacious 2 person tent that is light and roomy. The air filled poles will stand up to strong winds and water beads off the Nemo Osmo™ fabric.

The mesh removable cover makes for romatic nights staring at the stars and breathing in that fresh outdoor scent. The Morpho comes with a foot pump to fill up the air beams which makes for ultra easy setup and disassembly. This tent may not look like much at first glance but after using it you we’ll find it is very practical and worthy of a post on this blog.

The Quiksilver Rubix watch is the ultimate in techo-style. A ruggedly durable yet simplistic watch that is water resistant up to 10 atmospheres. The wrist band is one inch wide and has a bare analogue face without numbers. Inside is the 2 hand quartz analogue gear set.

It’s relatively cheap so i would’nt care if i broke or lost it. Just a casual everyday watch that would look great with a nice pair of khakis and a t-shirt. I think i might have to get one of these for sure.

This has got to be the coolest looking headlamp. I’d buy one even though I never leave this computer or my house for that matter. The Petzl Tactikka XP will accurately light your way but will allow you to maintain your night vision. The headlamp comes with 3 colors of lenses that have can be used in a variety of situations such as map reading and times when you need a wide angle lens.

The camouflage pattern is my favorite, the extra lenses have a special compartment on the headband. Speaking of headband, it has an adjustable clip for a comfortable fit. The spot light can shine up to 35 meters and the floodlight emits a sharp proximity beam when using the wide angle lens. It also comes with a battery light indicator warning so you don’t get stuck in a cave 50 feet below the sea floor. Truly one of the most magnificent headlamps and definitely worth a second look.
