Description

  Roomy semi-rectangular bag; 25° F

  For those nippy desert nights when counting shooting stars is all you have to do, the semi-rectangular Western Mountaineering Alder MF is your bag of choice. Roomy enough for comfort and warm enough so you won't wake with a chill before dawn, the Alder has a 62 inch shoulder girth and a 46 inch foot girth. The Alder has a zipper along the side to mate with mummy bags and a zipper around the foot so that it can be opened flat as a comforter or zipped to Western's Summer Coupler (sold separately) to make a bed for two.

  Like all of Western Mountaineering's bags, this 25 degree sleeping bag is made by hand in San Jose, California. Their down is sourced from free-range mother geese who are never live-plucked or force-fed.

Footprint sold separately.

Cracking Your Neck Can Hurt Your Performance, According to Sports Doctors
  My husband cracks his neck multiple times a day. He complains that his neck often feels stiff, which he attributes to the 30-mile bike rides he regularly takes and the uncomfortable sleeping positions he winds up in during the night. So, as a quick fix, he whips his neck from left to right. Pop. Pop. The thing is: I absolutely...

Undefeated After 10 Years, This Solar Lantern Still Rules: BioLite Luci Lanterns Review
  Desperate times call for desperate measures. Nearing 10 p.m. and the campfire just hitting its stride, my phone died — along with our tunes.

Should You Cook With an Induction Stove On Your Next Camping Trip? 
  I just made the switch to an all-electric cooking system for car camping. The setup includes an induction cooktop, which uses an electromagnetic field in lieu of direct heat to cook food. While many people associate induction with lower air pollution or faster cook times, I switched for three different reasons: convenience, packed size, and the ability to “refill” my energy...
