It’s never a bad idea to packet an emergency blanket—it’s not just for the lost. A sudden weather change while walking. A car breakdown in cold weather. Think about it.

I like these walk-in talkies from Lowe’s. Really useful where there are dead zones for cellular and as a backup to my cell phone.

Really hope nobody will need this. Very packable. Being close to the Cascades there are lots of good hiking…but things happen and you may need to shelter in place.

Stuff for day hikes
I love these backpacks because the canvas holds up! Hate it when they tear in other brand bags I’ve bought

This puffer is very good quality. I noticed how easy it was to return for a smaller size too.

Frankly I would wear these boots all the time. Solid tread with good grip. Toes are well protected and they are truly water resistant. Good pricing too!
Women's Hiking Boots & Shoes
I have tried other brands but find the fit, breathability, and durability stand out.

This tent is surprisingly easy to set up and spacious. We got a good deal on it too!
Tents and Tarps
I got tired of hauling around heavy camping chairs. Now I can transport comfort while riding my e-bike. No more sitting on wet grass 🤣
Portable, durable & folding chair for camping, beach and glamping
I didn’t think I’d need trekking poles…until I did. Our trails are littered with tree roots and rocks. These poles are light weight with easy length adjustments. The hand grips are soft and comfortable.

I trust the Coleman name and this portable stove does not disappoint. Excellent quality, and easy to pack in my smallish backpack
Backpacking & Camping Stoves
A hidden gem nestled by the San Juan Islands and in a rain shadow so it’s microclimate is mild. A nice selection of restaurants in this artsy town. And you might glimpse orca whales!

No kidding—I wear these everyday. I have 3 pair. I like that they are quick fry and lightly lined to be wind resistant. They are so comfortable that I wear them indoors and outdoors.

This REI jacket is packable, wind resistant and breath well. It’s been a good choice for walking here in the Pacific Northwest.

Not strictly for hiking. These are great for when taking our dog for a walk. I can keep my hands warm and free to deal with those pesky plastic dog poop bags. Me like!
Hand Warmers
Yes, I walk daily in the Pacific Northwest. Summer is officially over. Having this rain pants is a lifesaver when the dog insists on going for her walk when it’s pouring 😲😲🦮
Outdoor Rain Pants
My husband and I both bought Lectric a few years ago for a few reasons: These bikes are petite friendly, foldable and with wider tires more secure on gravel. And we got 2 bikes for the cost of Rad ebikes
