Knots you can rely on.

If you could choose only three knots for pitching a tarp, which ones would you want to know?

We asked Tim to demonstrate the three he relies on most. Watch as he shows you how to tie each knot and we explain the situations where each one is most useful.

Have you used all three? Which one do you rely on most?

The Silky Gomboy fits neatly inside a pack pocket and adds very little weight - but is capable enough to cut branches or smaller trees with aplomb.

From firefighters to skiers, to backcountry campers, that balance is exactly why many people who work and play outdoors trust their Silky Gomboy.

Compact to pack. Capable when it counts. What is your reason to love Gomboy?

When heading into the back country, a bear is a visitor you don't want to encounter at camp. A good camping barrel keeps food and scented items organized, protected and easy to carry for stowing out of harm's way. Just remember that a food barrel is not bear-proof and must still be stored properly.

Where was the last place you spotted a bear? For us, it was this little cub in our store! In honour of , help us choose a name. Suggestions?

Cherry, hickory or walnut: three locally sourced Canadian hardwoods, chosen for their strength and natural beauty. Each Esker Bucksaw is made in Canada and finished by hand by skilled craftspeople, drawing on generations of woodworking knowledge.

Its traditional, packable design pairs a 24-inch Bahco blade with a durable nylon tensioning line for dependable cutting in the bush. Over time, with care and maintenance, the wood develops a rich patina, signifying the years of service in the bush it provides it's owner.

A tool made to be used and passed down through generations. If you appreciate good-looking, well-made gear, this one is a must-have, in our opinion.

The last long weekend of summer is almost here. Let that sink in.

Whether you have a full weekend trip planned, a quick day hike in mind or something hastily organized on Friday afternoon, we hope you make the most of it.

And whether your plans call for a Kantamus 60L fully loaded for a long weekend or a Trangia Micro for a quick lunch on the trail, we have dependable gear for both, and plenty in between.

Where are you heading this Labour Day long weekend?

The campsite is always exactly as expected, and the weather cooperates all the time.....said no camper ever.

That’s why the new Savotta Laavu Tarp is so useful. Its simple square design and 17 tie-down loops give you plenty of ways to adjust your setup to the site, terrain and weather. Use it as an overnight shelter, a protected cooking area or additional cover for your gear.

Made from 70D ripstop nylon with a waterproof PU coating, it also features a taped centre seam for dependable weather protection. At approximately 900g, it gives you versatile coverage without adding too much weight to your pack.

Simple, adaptable, smartly designed and built like a tank, as you’d expect from Savotta.

Happy International Dog Day to our favourite four legged adventure buddies. Nothing beats sharing the campsite with a loyal trail companion. We'd love to hear from you.

What is your favorite part about camping with your dog? Is it the hikes, evenings by the fire, swimming, or simply having your best friend by your side?

Trangia is simple by design. Choosing the right setup can still raise a few questions.

What size do you need? Which material makes sense? Spirit burner or gas? And which accessories will you actually use?

And what does Tim’s Trangia cookset look like after 18 years of use? All right, that one might just be us. But 18 years is a respectable field test, and he shows you the evidence in the full YouTube video.

Head to our YouTube channel as Tim breaks down the Trangia system and explains how the different cooksets, burners, fuels and accessories work together. It’s a practical place to start if you’re considering a Trangia, or want to get more from the one you already own.
