How To: Pack
Packing is never fun. It's especially un-fun when you're in a rush, anxious to get to your vacation spot, and when, God forbid, you have nothing to wear. So, I thought I'd share a few of my simple tips that allow you to pack more ensembles into your suitcase, and spare them from treacherous wrinkles.
Get in Gear: Kelty Day Pack
Hiking is one of those outdoor sports that's great for late summer and early fall, when warm weather begins to cool. When you go for a hike, it's a great idea to go with someone who has trekked the trail or mountain you're planning to hike. You need some durable hiking boots and some wicking socks to go with them.
I Forgot to Take my Birth Control Pill, What Should I Do?
One of the complaints I hear from women about the Pill is that they have a hard time remembering to take it everyday. So what happens if you forget?
Being even 12 hours late taking your birth control pill could increase your chances of getting pregnant.
Backpacking: The Essentials
If you love to camp, you'll love backpacking. Basically instead of packing all your stuff in your car and driving to your campsite, and enjoying nature with people all around you, you pack all your gear into a backpack and hike to a remote and way more private location. No neighboring campers playing acoustic versions of their favorite Metallica tunes until the wee hours of the morning.
What to Pack for a Day Hike
I love to get an early start in the morning when I am planning an all day hike up and down a mountain. The air is cooler in the morning and there are less people on the trail. Since I plan to be out for at least 4 hours, maybe even 8 hours if I am feeling really ambitious, I need more than just water in my day pack.
Get In Gear: Mountainsmith Dart
I am so psyched for the warm weather so I can go trail running and hiking. What's a girl to do when she gets thirsty though? I hate carrying a huge pack just so I can have my water bottle, but now I don't need to.
Get in Gear: The Sugar Pack
If you are into doing anything outdoors, you've got to have a Camelbak. It's an easy way to make sure you've always got your water with you.
Sometimes when you're out for the day, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, or whatever, it's annoying to have to stop all the time to get your water bottle out of your backpack.

Get in Gear: Trail Tracker Sport Pack
I'll be the first to admit that I am not a fan of fanny packs. However sometimes when exercising, I find them acceptable. Still not fashionable, but acceptable.
Would You Stash Your Cell In A Fanny Pack?
It's not bringing sexy/back, it's bringing the fanny pack back! American Apparel has just come out with a new line of nylon cordura fanny packs, which are a very close throwback to the amazing cell phone, marker and chalk holder my high school English teacher used to wear. And only because they are from American Apparel and available in cool colors like amethyst, dusty rose and peacock am I giving them any attention whatsoever.
