The Atmos 35 is really solid with a frame, mesh net at your back and really stretchy pockets all around. You can go for a week or more [...]]]></description>

Whitney, one of highest points in North America. Steinstra says in this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a member of and frequent shopper at REI. They have a good selection of goods and for the most part knowledgeable folks working there. I can walk around for hours touching, poking, feeling, examining and exploring. It&#8217;s actually a treat to spend two hours there even if I don&#8217;t buy something since I live [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A light daypack is an essential piece of equipment for the light backpacker. I&#8217;ve taken many, many three-day loop trips that involve two overnights and 8-10 miles of day hiking wearing your pack. That&#8217;s great except for one thing: you&#8217;re wearing your pack the whole time. Even an ultralight pack is still a weight on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most of you have probably heard of zero-based budgeting. It&#8217;s a simple concept: your budget starts at zero and builds. This differs from annual budgeting that merely looks at the previous year&#8217;s budget and adds or subtracts an amount. With spring on us and snow melting fast, you&#8217;re probably anxious to hit the trail. But [...]]]></description>
