Checklists like these are critical for making sure you’ve got all the right gear for a backcountry overnight. Here’s what we brought on some stellar summer and fall outings.

Mickey's Tips for Staying Warm In the Woods
Through some trial and error, both hiking and hunting, I’ve learned a few key tricks for staying toasty on the coldest days. Here are my favorites, which I use all the time and which just carried me through my best deer season ever.
Puppy Dog Trail North Dual Sport Gear List
With Spring in the air, it was time to dust off the bike panniers, pack some extra layers, and head out for an adventure on the dual sport. So last weekend, my buddy Jim and I set out to ride the Puppy Dog North Trail. It’s a 95-mile route that heads north from Westerly, Rhode Island for 95 miles to Greenfield, Massachusetts, along with a mix of beautiful country roads and dirt trails. Along the way it passes through some old-school towns, reminding riders of a time when life was simpler.
My Winter Riding Gear List
There’s so much dual sport gear out there that sometimes it’s hard to know what’s best for you. Indeed, maybe you’ve bought gear on somebody’s recommendation, only to find that the conditions they’re using it in are quite different than yours. To help solve that problem, here’s a list of what I’ve found is working best for me in New England this winter. And if you’re looking to ride in conditions like these–essentially brisk days with the temps ranging from 39-55–this gear is worth checking out. Hopefully you’ll even find that it will work for you too.
Mount Moosilauke Ski Gear List

And, if they are like us, they will keep being drawn back by the more than five-mile long descent and above-treeline terrain. While there are plenty of places to get beta on the trip—like this article Tim wrote for goEast—we thought a detailed gear list would be an interesting, informative, and helpful companion. So here it is.
