Wendy's Corner on Backcountry Gear

When you think of backcountry camping trips, 
            what technical gear do you think of? 





Oh, probably - a good four season tent, down mummy bag, self inflating sleeping mattress, ultra-light kevlar canoe, and a waterproof lighter. Yeah, that was me too - before. 

Now I think - completely collapsible dishes; folding frying pan that perfectly distributes heat; 3L widemouth canteen; and a skirt you can throw on for many of your backwoods survival needs... that’s right I said skirt. 








I will introduce you to some of my favourite gear that is often overlooked by most, or completely ignored altogether, but on my last sopping wet, bone chilling trip to Algonquin Park backwater, this stuff made all the difference. Each in their own way, these items made this portaging trip actually very pleasurable.
