Camping Site in Mountains

Welcome to our one-night backpacking trip on the Salmon River Trail in the Salmon Huckleberry Wilderness! We take you on a breathtaking journey through one of Oregon's most beautiful wilderness areas. The Salmon River Trail is known for its stunning scenery, lush forests, and abundant wildlife, but it's important to be aware of potential dangers. In 2018, a tragic cougar attack claimed the life of a woman on this trail. While the risk of a cougar attack is low, it's crucial to be prepared and informed when exploring the wilderness. We also want to caution viewers about the safety of the parking lots in the area, which are notorious for break-ins. If possible, it's best to arrange a ride to the trailhead. Despite the potential risks, the Salmon River Trail offers an unforgettable wilderness experience that's sure to leave you in awe. Follow us as we hike along the scenic river, cross babbling streams, and bask in the tranquility of the great outdoors.


We take our BearVault 450 Jaunt Canister for a short backpacking camping trip in bear country. With its sturdy construction, easy locking mechanism, and ample storage, we’ll show you what we fit in it. We'll demonstrate how to use the canister and share tips for keeping your food and scented items safe from bears and other wild creatures.


We take a closer look at the Nemo Forte 20 Synthetic Sleeping Bag. We review its features, with its synthetic insulation, unique "spoon" shape and ease of use of the compression sack for backpacking. We give you an honest assessment of the sleeping bag's strengths and weaknesses, so you can decide if it's the right fit for your camping needs. Whether you're an experienced camper, backpacker or just starting out, we hope our review helps you make an informed decision.
