Mountain Equipment Co-op is a trekker's dream come true. The backpacks, the sleeping bags, the tents - there are so many swoon-worthy items that maintaining composure becomes an unattainable ideal.

With a large voyage on the horizon, I'm thinking…More »

I was about to reference Harry Potter as the opening of my review, but after reading Joshua Y's apt assessment, I feel that my non sequitur is now redundant.

So, I guess I'll go the direct route for this little ditty: This bookstore is so wonderful.…More »

So serious trip planning requires serious insurance. If I die bungee jumping or cage-shark diving, I want to know someone is going to be able to collect in my absence.

Andrew and I marched into Travel Cuts on Barrington today to buy one of their…More »

Oh the delightful trekking gear you will find. How you will drape yourself in Gortex, dancing through stacks of active wear with tents scattered to and fro. Water bottles, carabiners, coats and camping gear - this shop packs a punch when it comes to…More »

The Trail Shop is like an independently owned MEC, sans the largeness!

Prices are always on the rise at Value Village. Don't get me wrong, I have a great time scouring the aisles, looking for exciting finds, but sometimes the prices are a tad inflated.

I feel like I'm always waxing and waning over which VV location I'm most fond of. If I get a good score one day, I proclaim that location the top, but one visit of empty-handedness, and I'm a fair-weather fan.

I always enjoy a stroll through Value…More »
