Camping




Those of us whom love the outdoors know that the only thing better then spending a whole day in them is spending the night. The smell of a camp fire, the amazing view of the stars and the chirping of crickets all of which are associated in peoples minds with Camping. You know, spending in the night outdoors. It's intense. Get it, in tents. Ha! Anyways, at Als.com we love the outdoors and we love camping along with all of its other associated activities. Including canoeing, climbing, fishing, hiking, mountain biking swimming and hill walking(?). And no matter what activity you prefer Als.com has you covered with from the top brands in the camping business.

Anyone who has been camping knows how much the right gear can make the difference. Perhaps a story might be helpful for an explanation: Once I went camping in the wasatch mountains in the middle of the winter with some friends. We had decided to make some snow caves and spend the night in the bitter cold of a Utah winter. After we dug our caves we crawled in and settled down for the night. Upon awakening I found my companions to be full of complaints about the cold and the poor sleep while I had slept wonderfully. The difference we found wasn't the quality of the caves we constructed, as they both were terrible, but it was the quality of the gear which we used. I had purchased high quality gear from Als.com! They had purchased something from one of those big box giants. The moral of the story is if you want to have a great time in the outdoors make sure you've got the equipment that's required for the adventure your participating in.

halesQ: What was your last purchase from Als.com?

A: The Osprey Atmos 65 Pack! I bought the grey one and boy is it great! It's more of a backpacking pack then a hydration camp, although you can connect it to a hydration kit. I purchased it right after I got back from a trip because I knew it was time for an upgrade!

Q: What type of upgrade were you looking for?

A: Well I loved the ventalation provided by the ventilated mesh backpanel. It creates a nice air pocket to keep your back cool even when your backpacking for long distances. It's suppose to keep your back from getting sweaty and there's nothing more unconfortable then hiking miles in the hot sun with an ultra sweaty back.

Q: Is there anything else that you enjoy about your Osprey?

A: Yeah, I love the adjustable Fit-On-The-Fly hipbelt. It allow you to tighten or loosen your pack without removing it. It's super nice for when you've have long hikes where the things you've packed have moved and created an uncomfortable feeling. So to be able to adjust the pack without stopping or without taking the pack off is great!backpack

Q: Do you backpack often?

A: Probably three to four times a summer.

Q: Whats your next purchase at Als.com?

A: I've already made it! I purchased an exped sleeping matt just the other day! It's their smallest matt measuring only three inches thick. It's pretty comfortable and has the great feature of allowing the intake valve to be adjusted to increase or decrease the firmness of the mattress.
