These are my absolute go-to shoes for the winter. They are so cozy and easy to slip on. If I'm going out into the mountains and it's deep snow I'll put on actual boots, but for 90% of the winter around town I'm wearing these. All my friends have them to, so when people come over for gatherings there's a literal pile of Ember Mocs at the door. I own 2 pairs in the same color because I want one "nice looking" pair and another I can beat up and get super dirty on camping and climbing trips.

I was in need of a new winter hiking boot after finally blowing throw my old pair and figured I'd try the Bridger 8in Insulated since I love my summer Oboz hiking boots. The first time I went out in the snow with these I was impressed. They do a great job at keeping your feet warm and dry even in wet snow and with creek crossings. Don't wear big bulky socks with these, as a lighter weight pair will actually probably keep your feet warmer. The tread is pretty great for winter hiking, but a pair of traction spikes does come in handy still depending on what you're getting into. I wear these around town in the winter too, not just for hiking. they look pretty good and you don't feel like a doofus walking around in gigantic winter boots like your Uncle Jerry's when you were young. The insoles they come with could be better, but that's true of most all boots you buy. I usually always end up replacing my insoles with some arch support insoles with extra cushion.

The founders of Rumpl created the first blankets because they loved the coziness of sleeping bags and wished there was a similar option for blankets. They were definitely onto something and I'm glad they pursued it. I keep a Rumpl in each of our cars and one in the living room. It's nice how light, packable, cozy, and stylish they are. There are so many patterns that anyone can find the right blanket for them. It's extra cool how they work with local artists for limited edition prints and the national parks blankets are awesome too. Your blanket doesn't have to be boring anymore!

I like to host backyard fire hangs at my place. I was doing it with a standard fire pit previously (aka a pit dug in the ground and rocks placed around it) and then a friend got a Solo Stove and I realized how much nicer it is having fires this way and I had to get my own. Now when people come to my house for a fire they have to get one of their own, too. We used to always have one side of the fire ring that nobody sat at due to smoke blowing in someone's face. The winds would change and people would keep shifting around the fire to dodge it and everyone smelled heavily of campfire the next day. There's almost no smoke when using one of these. The design allows for maximum heat efficiency as well. Just the other day we had a fire for like 2 hours and didn't even go through one bundle of wood.

I keep one of these by me at work and drink water out of it all day so I stay hydrated and don't have to keep getting up to refill my water. I have another especially for beer as well since several breweries near me will fill growlers with beer they have on draft, and if you BYOG (Bring Your Own Growler) it's a good amount cheaper vs having to buy one of their glass growlers. It's certainly big and fairly heavy, but it's not like I'm taking it backpacking. It is good for bringing local beer on rafting and car camping trips though where space and weight aren't as much of a concern.

I'm unsure why some people were giving this a bad review. I have 3 of these chairs and love them. Maybe it's unfcomfortable if you are tall? My family are all in 5' 5" to 5' 9" and love these chairs. It's a bit heavy for the deluxe model, but it's more comfy and if you are car camping or backyard hanging the weight doesn't matter.

These are super convenient. You'll never have to buy another wasteful, single-use green propane canister or worry about running out of fuel while cooking again. I love bringing it along for car camping and rafting trips where space isn't as much of an issue. The initial investment is a bit more, but in the long run you'll save vs buying a bunch of disposable fuel and you can feel better about keeping them out of landfills. Also, the padded carry case is really nice and "cute" according to my wife. The fuel line hose is long enough for me to have the canister sitting on the ground while my 2 burner Coleman grill is up on a table for cooking.

I dig how the baffles allow it to contour so it can be draped over a rock. I have a few standard solid pads that are usually my main landing and then this one I use for covering rocks in the landing are and awkward spots most pads don't sit well. I use this as my main ground pad sometimes as well and although I haven't fallen onto it from any highballs it seems to absorb my impact as well as most pads when it's used in tha traditional manner you think of for a crash pad. Another clutch feature of this pad is the way it rolls up on itself leaves a nice pocket in the middle for carring a bunch of gear like a backpack would. I just throw my shoes, chalk bucket, camera bag, a little day pack with some snacks and beers, etc on the pad and close it around them. When you close it there's a flap that secures over the bottom to keep things from falling out the bottom of the pad while backpacking it. There's a zipper pocket in the closure flap as well for storing a few small things. Pretty ingenious design really.

I was originally skeptical about the no-edge technology, but after my first day of bouldering outdoors in them I am completely sold. It took a moment to get used to the different feel in my footwork, but pretty quickly I was trusting edges I never would have felt solid on before. I have several pairs of La Sportiva shoes in my quiver: TC Pro, Otaki, Katana Lace, Testarossa, and Genius but these are my go-to for sending tough boulder problems outdoors. The sensitivity is fantastic but I don't find them to be very painful over a long day of bouldering surprisingly. The lacing system allows you to really dial in the fit, and they broke in relatively fast. I have a wider foot, so I was apprehensive as to whether they would end up fitting ok, but they did. I wouldn't buy them as your only shoes if you do a wide variety of climbing or if you are newer to the sport, but they fill a great need when things get steep or delicate nuances in footwork are needed.
