Camping Site in Mountains

We take a closer look at the 3F UL Gear Rain Skirt or what some might call a Kilt. We share our initial impressions of this lightweight and waterproof piece of outdoor gear. We try it on and show you how it fits, as well as highlight some of its key features. With the skirt's design and material it looks like it will be ideal for wet weather hiking and backpacking.


We compare two popular synthetic blankets for outdoor enthusiasts: the Get Out Gear Double Puffy Blanket (which was generously provided to us) and the SnugPak Jungle Blanket (our goto blanket for the past 8 years). We take a closer look at the features of each blanket, including warmth, durability, packability, and comfort, and discuss areas that could be improved. A synthetic blanket is better in wet weather than down because it retains its insulating properties when wet, while down loses its loft and warmth. Whether you're planning a camping trip, backpacking adventure, or just need a cozy blanket for home use, we hope this will give you the information you need to make an informed decision for your outdoor needs.


In our quest to find affordable camping gear, we were intrigued by the vast selection of items available on AliExpress. We decided to take the plunge and make a purchase, curious to see if we could find high-quality gear at a fraction of the cost of other retailers. We share our honest thoughts on our AliExpress camping gear haul, including our experience with ordering and shipping, the quality of the items we received, and our overall impression of using AliExpress for camping gear purchases.
