Description

  Fast-flow 10 liter gravity filter for groups

  This extra-large AutoFlow gravity filter system delivers 10 liters of clean water fast—all while you set up camp, prep dinner or relax. And its large capacity means fewer trips to the river to haul the water you need. Similar in packable size to the 4L version, the AutoFlow XL system’s durable flat base doubles the water volume for only 12 oz. of total weight. Ultralight and supremely packable, it offers the luxury of pump-free group filtration for basecamps, scout troops, horsepackers and other backcountry groups. And just one 10-liter fill of the reservoir can supply 1-2 people with a whole day’s worth of clean water.

Winter Escapes: Eric Larsen’s Top 5 Places for Snowshoe Adventures
  By Eric Larsen      Some people look at winter and see bone-chilling cold, bad driving conditions and more, but if youre anything like me you see winter as the great leveler—literally. Snow evens out the bumps, stumps, roots and rocks of any trail, and covers up undergrowth and shrubs, making the wintry landscape beautiful and perfect for snowshoeing. Still, some...
Tough Enough in Madagascar
  Words by Nina Caprez, photos by Jan Novak   Climbing has this ability of showing us what is really going on inside of us, of bringing our ego to the light, and that’s often painful.

Training for Antarctica: Polar
  Theres no business like snow business.   Nearly every year in January or February, I make a pilgrimage to Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada, where I indoctrinate a bevy of aspiring Shackleton wannabes on the finer points of polar travel and winter survival.      For those of you who dont know, I teach a variety of hands-on intensives focused on winter...
The First Rule of Adventure: Failures are Never Failures
  Story and Photography by Eric Larsen   They were hard questions to receive: “How do you know when to pull the plug on an adventure?” “What do you learn when you come up short?”   I think that both of these topics are relevant, interesting and worthwhile; however, the timing of the inquiry—a few weeks after I returned from a “failed” expedition...

The Wild and Remote Wind River Range
     We set out from the comfort of our day jobs to experience a new place—a new horizon. We headed north and then west to the Wind River Range of Wyoming. With alternating sounds of good tunes, good conversations, and the constant ‘whirr’ of rubber on the road, we made our way to the trailhead. As the sun slipped lower...
The Thru
  By Renee Patrick   The quintessential Oregon that comes to mind for many is one of wet, lush forests, rocky coastlines, and snowy peaks, but on the other side of the Cascade Mountains lies a high desert landscape that covers almost half of the state.
