Get in Gear: Must Have Gadget for Hiking

FitSugar — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 04:00:00 -0700

Seriously, sometimes I think I am MacGyver. Especially when I am out in the woods on a hike but the truth is that while I love the occasional hike in the woods (or along the coastline) I am no outdoorsy guru.

That being said, I like to feel prepared at all times, especially when playing in the great outdoors. Many day hikes may not require the AdventurePlus ($20.00), but it never hurts to be prepared, now does it? This one little gadget includes a compass, a mirror, a magnifying glass, a whistle, a thermometer, a flashlight and a tiny little compartment to keep things (like matches) dry. Buy it online from Highgear.com.

Hiking will be even more fun now that you're prepared to take on any situation so you can concentrate on getting that heart rate going. Now all you need is a good trail to explore -- Check out this listing of free trails.

Fab Finding Follow Up: Camping Cutie

FabSugar — Thu, 12 Apr 2007 17:27:13 -0700

A reader recently wrote me suggesting we do a Fab Finding for cute camping clothes. I may be a high maintenance camper but I'm up for any fashion challenge so my response was: where's the compass?! Let's do it! I started you off with these Joe's Jeans Perry Cargo Shorts, $152, because nothing says roughing it like a pair of designer denim shorts (wink).

I asked you all to go Fab Finding for ruggedly cute camping outfits and to feel free to throw in some camping essentials for those of us not well versed in the way of the camp. To see all the camping fab finds click here. Let's see what you all came up with!

Look #1, found by misssixty02 is totally Troop Beverly Hills with this Flex Fleece Sleeveless Hoody and L.L. Bean Camp Bag Flannel-Lined. Check out the Smores kit!
