Backpacker 2009 Gear Guide is out – Editors’ Choice Awards
Backpacker Magazine
The April 2009 issue of Backpacker magazine is out which features the Annual Gear Guide. This year Backpacker magazine features 521 reviews and skills. Of course there are the Editors’ Choice Awards, my favorite section, as well the 10 page skills guide. The Annual gear guide looks at packs, boots, tents, sleeping bags and essentials.
Backpacker Online has a new Gear finder, a web tutorial/video on Gear shopping secrets and a video on Editors’ Choice Blowout. This month’s magazine is amazing but check out their website, just as good. So relax and take time soon to enjoy reading the April 2009 issue of Backpacker magazine and then visit their website.
With just 6 months away to the 6th annual Hike the Highlands Festival – September 11-20, 2009, it is a good time to check out your hiking gear and see what needs to be replaced or added.
