items Who says the outdoors have to be uncomfortable? These are all my top recommendations for any season or any adventure. Everything here I have personally used extensively and it has been put to the test 💪. I am a three-season tent: I raft, trail run, ...

Hike On
Got these this spring on a whim locally. Did not know I was about to fall in love. These are not only unbelievably comfortable, but they are perfect for camping, hiking or even running around town. The giant pockets are actually quite handy and I ado...
Stretch Zion™ E-Waist Jogger | Womens Pants
So what's my most used and repurchased item on all my boards? These are probably going to take the #1 spot if I had to go through receipts. I have run through 5 pairs of these in the ten years and still have most of them. The only reason I change is ...
Salomon Trail Runners
Alright I tried on Lululemons in store and….not impressed for $80. I am not going to tell you something is a dupe without spending any time in lulus but I will tell you I am obsessed with my Aoxjox leggings and own at least 6 pairs. I just find they ...
Aoxjox High Waisted Leggings: Metamorph Deep V
Another Aoxjox legging I love. These are more compressive than the Metamorph and have a slightly different lower back design. I find the colors are less compressive, while black and the prints are more compressive. I wear a small in their leggings bu...
Aoxjox High Waisted Workout Leggings: Trinity
The SHEEP, not the GOAT: Merino Wool
Two myths: wool is itchy, wool is for the winter. I will fight you on this.
For high-percentage merino wool bras, these are it. I have put them through the wringer for outdoor adventures and I consistently grab this when I know I am going to sweat. Being able to have clothes dry out in the backcountry is essential when backp...
BRANWYN
Ok if you knew how much I had put my quarter zip merino tops through…you would purchase one of their items right now no questions asked. I am dead-serious. Backpacking, hunting, packing wild game on my back, trail running with a hydration pack. The f...
Ridge Merino
Meriwool is the first merino wool brand I started with. I have several shirts and a neck gaiter, all of which I still wear and love. If you are just getting into the merino wool game (she is a long and expensive road so buckle up 😉), this is a great...
Meriwool
They are the best wool sock as a wool sock connoisseur. I truly have a frightening number of wool socks and they are my number one for durability, comfort, cuteness, and a lifetime warranty!! Like what??
Darn Tough Vermont
If I took a picture of the number of Smartwool socks I own you would ask me if I am seeking therapy. Just FYI they are GOOD. And absolute proof that wool is NOT itchy.
Smartwool
You CAN wear wool year round. Just so you know. I wear thin merino t-shirts for trail running, hiking and just hanging out in the summer, and have merino wool dress swimsuit covers. They are super fast drying and don't hold odor.
Smartwool: Women's Active Ultralite Short Sleeve
Here me out: my fiance made the mistake of putting this and another Pendleton shirt in the dryer and now they are mine!! I love them. This trail shirt is a heavier weight flannel wool shirt and perfect for a crispy evening by the backyard firepit or ...
Pendleton Men's Long Sleeve Classic Trail Shirt
My first neck gator for hunting and outdoors was a poly situation from a well-known hunting brand. Needless to say, it collects dust in a bin at home. With no ability to quick dry when I am wearing it over half my face on cold mornings hiking or skii...
MERIWOOL 100% Merino Wool Ski Neck Gaiter
Rugged Apparel: mountaineering, hunting
Probably an underserved and risque niche here, but one that begs some attention. To my fellow female hunters, I'VE GOT YOU 🙌
These have been through it and back. Perfect fall season pants, slightly heavier than the ultra thin hiking pants, but that perfect crispy morning to warmer fall day weight. I have ripped through rocks and brush like you wouldn't believe and somehow ...
Sitka Gear: Women's Cadence Pant | Optifade Elevated II
First pair of Sitka pants I bought back in 2019. These are a workhorse of a pant and somehow still comfortable?? They are a great fall pant and can be easily layered with long underwear for chillier days. The waterproof seat and knees is a gamechange...
Sitka Gear: Women's Timberline Pant
I bought my first pair of these last year and wore them through many backpacking and hiking trips last year, including one of my biggest hunts to date. I love that they are more form-fitted than many other brands that I find a little clunky, making t...
Nova IV Mid GTX Women
First hunting jacket I got in Subalpine camo. Originally they only made these in men's with a hood and womens had no hood. Cause we don't like being warm?? I ended up with a mens small and still wear it every season today. The women's Jetstream jacke...
Jetstream Jacket | Deep Lichen
Basecamp
A water jug Lily? Really? YES. And listen up bestie because I love this thing. I used this thing living in the AZ desert for 4 weeks, have used it all summer camping and again for a week and a half this fall inside the wall tent. Not only does it NOT...
5 Gallon BPA Free Camping Water Jug
You know what this is for. But lets be real it makes the job a LOT easier and these are incredibly lightweight for when space and weight are an issue.
NACETURE Ultralight Backpacking Trowel
I don't care what you do outside, you NEED these. These are not your regular ratchet straps, which, I will be the first to tell you are so hard to use unless you're using them daily in your job or for a trailer or something. These are a simple cinch ...
NRS Straps and Cords | REI Co-op
In my household we have 8 tents. And we use them. They are for a range of different types of camping, but if we're just talking about summer camping, standard tent camping and needing some space, this is a GREAT setup. My favorite feature bar none is...
