Welcome to my blog! I am kinda new at this, but this blog is intended primarily to be an area where I can post test results of new gear that I receive and test for my retail customers. My new site will be www.bearriveroutfitters.com, and will list all of the brands that we are currently an authorized dealer for.
I will also most likely post trip reports and photos in the coming months. This first photo is of me and my new McHale SCMII pack which I dearly love. We snowshoed in to an area this January and this photo was on the way out, about 200 yards from the parking lot. I am wearing a Rab Latok jacket in this photo. It is quite the winter shell, heavyweight, with eVENT membrane. We used a Hilleberg Nallo 3GT and I used a Valandre' Thor sleeping bag. Way overkill, as the bag is rated to -58F, but in the area where we spent the night (Peter Sinks), you never know how cold it is going to get. It only got down to around +18F at night, but the year before, it hit -21F when we were up there in that region!

Charlie, I just wanted to publicly thank you for helping me get the gear I needed to explore the wild places.... after age 50. All the gear I got from you for my backpack trip is rock solid, instills confidence and though nothing cheap... you saved me a ton of money by helping me buy the right gear on the first try. Thanks to your expertise, and your willingness to take my particular considerations to heart... I have a killer outdoor set up. I look forward to a long and expert relationship.
One day... we will climb together.

Charlie,
Just wanted to say that I like your new site and that I appreciated your advice on selecting my new Hilleberg Akto.
I am looking forward to many back packing trips using that tent.
Best regards,
