Spring is upon us and so are warehouse sales. I don't know about you, but I love getting a good deal. My experience has taught me that you have to work hard and especially work smart to get the best deals and stay happy. By stay happy, I mean avoid frustrating hassles. With that in mind, here are some tips to maximise your bargain hunting trips.

Winter is coming. For you. That means one of two things: you can hide inside drinking cocoa and whine about the Montreal Canadians OR give-in to Winter’s chilly embrace and partake in all its bounty. I suggest the latter. You can do this in many ways (snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, camping(!)), although most Quebecers tend to go downhill skiing. Carving up the slopes at one of the many pleasant Quebec resorts is without question a great way to spend your weekends. But what if you have been carving for the past 15 years, have skied at almost every one of those pleasant resorts in our fine Province, and know the trails like the back of your hand? Do you continue simply because? Whoa there partner, unshackle yourself from such linear thinking. It is time to get out of your comfort zone and try something new. Perhaps the dynamic sport of backcountry skiing- where adventure and skiing join forces- needs to be considered.

Backcountry skiing: thoughs and more

The holidays have just blown by, the arteries are de-clogging, and things are starting to get settled at work. All is well, but wait. It’s February- I feel like something is on the horizon hiding, sneaking, waiting to trap me. Damn you Valentine’s Day, you won’t get me this year. I will admit I am not the most romantic guy on earth, but I do try. Women don’t like flowers and chocolates anymore, so the next best thing is most definitely outdoor gear (in my mind at least). Are you reading this a few days before D-Day? Don’t panic, just take my advice and order up these bad boys

Ho Ho Ho! ‘Tis the season to get GIFTS! But as part of the unspoken convention, we have to give some to get some. Fair enough, let me help you with that.

This winter I decided to put together a list of some of the most useful gear I have, and package it as a suggested gift guide. Here you’ll find a number of items that surprisingly many people still don’t own. The gifts I suggest are all things that I didn’t appreciate before I got one, but that have since become a permanent resident of my backpack or car trunk. I also limited the list to only items that are fun to receive. You won’t find spare batteries, camp suds, or water repellent spray in this list, only cool toys.

Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear, MSR and more: Jolly christmas gift ideas

Dans une semaine j’ai la chance de partir pour le Tennessee aux USA au Great Smoky National Park. 5 jours de camping question de couper de cet hiver interminable et de commencer la saison du camping en grand.

C’est au moment de faire ma liste de vêtement que je me rends compte qu’il me manque définitivement une paire de pantalon de randonnée. À chaque année, je me convaincs que ce que j’ai fait l’affaire. Mais à chaque fois je rencontre les mêmes problèmes; inconfort, trop lourd, trop chaud. Surtout lorsque je porte un sac à dos, mon dos est irrité à cause de la taille de mes pantalons. Fini les jeans qui frottent à cause des ganses à la ceinture. Alors je pars à la chasse, je ne passe pas une autre saison comme ça!
