Bag It All
The best trips require lots of toys.
To that end the 110 -literTepui
Expedition Series Duffel swallows
tennis rackets and scuba fins with
ease. The puncture- and water-
resistant polyester canvas draws on
Tepuiâs experience making car-top
tents and beefy zips add struggle-
free closure.$120; tepuitents.comThe Foot Saver
Hereâs some free advice: Donât skimp
on socks. A reinforced pair like
Smartwoolâs PhD Outdoor Mountain-
eer designed with Conrad Anker will
change your life. Strategic hits of nylon
under the heel and toe provide extra
strength and a dense cocoon of
merino wool wraps the rest of your
foot in bliss.$35; smartwool.com
Glowing With Gas
W.C. Coleman sold his first lamp at the dawn of the 20th century and more than 100
years later thereâs still no substitute for the warm glow and quiet hum of a gas-powered
lantern. Thatâs why Coleman is giving new life to old fuel. TheNorthern Nova relies on
patented tube mantles to pump out an astonishing 3000 lumens enough to bathe an
entire campsite in light. (By way of comparison a 60-watt incandescent bulb puts out
about 800 lumens.) The foldaway design nestles in a protective case for safe transport;
a push-button igniter eliminates the need for matches; and a standard dial lets you tone
down the solar-like glow to achieve up to six hours of light on a fuel cylinder (rather
than three hours on high).$150; coleman.comMinimalist Lounger
Thereâs a place for portable chairs made
with ultralight aluminum poles and nylon
webbing. But it makes more sense for
us to invest in the more comfortable
Waxed Canvas and White Ash Travel
Chair. It sets up easily â you just slide
together the two pieces â and is stable
enough that you donât tip backward after
a few too many campfire bourbons.
