We put to the test the Enlightened Equipment Enigma Quilt. This synthetic 30 degree quilt is made with Climashield APEX Insulation. Weighing in at just over 23 ounces, could this be the perfect addition to our backpacking sleep system? Is the weight savings worth it and will actually keep us warm?

This week we go over our custom ordered bear food bag from Hilltop Packs. Its size, ease of use, and awesome design make it one of our favorite pieces of ultralight weight backpacking gear. While camping in the the backcountry, it’s essential to store your food in a safe manner for the both safety of you and the bears. Once bears have become accustomed to human food, they become a nuisance and have the potential to be put down.
We take an in-depth look at the REI Helix Sleep Pad, an excellent and budget-friendly option for campers seeking comfort. While we briefly touch upon the Nemo Tensor Sleep Pad for comparison, our primary focus is on the REI Helix and why it could be the perfect choice for your outdoor adventures. We explore its features, comfort, and durability, and put it to the sleep test.
