Black Diamond Spot 400 Headlamp Review
The Black Diamond Spot 350 is one of our favorite headlamps for backpacking because it’s bright, has a long burn time, and it’s full of convenient features. And at only $40, the Spot is a steal for such a powerful and durable headlamp. We named the Spot 350 the best value on our Best Headlamps list.
Katadyn BeFree Water Filter Review
Katadyn BeFree Water Filter Review
The Katadyn BeFree water filter has become one of our go-tos for ultralight backpacking. This microfilter has an incredible flow rate, and it can be cleaned in the field. Because you can drink straight from the top like a sports bottle. That means, you can spend less time squeezing or pumping and more time enjoying the trail. The BeFree earned a top spot on our Best Water Filters list for its low weight, convenience, and compact size.

Solo Stove Review
Sometimes evening just doesn’t feel complete without a fire. But let’s face it, smoke can be irritating and campfires can be a hassle to clean up. That’s why we love Solo Stove’s innovative gasifier stoves and fire pits. They’re really easy to use, nearly smoke-free, and they don’t scar the ground.
