Jul 30th, 2012 at 9:00AM: I registered for the Summer Outdoor Retailer Show, a gear extravaganza that takes place twice a year in Salt Lake City. Unfortunately, "day job" stuff got turned on its head such that I can't attend, though fellow Gadling Gear Guy Kraig Becker will be representing and will have his eyes open for new, cool stuff. Because I'm listed to attend, I've got an inbox full of press releases and invitations ...A Headlamp is a Travel Essential
Dec 23rd, 2011 at 10:00AM: Scenario 1: Sure, there's a campfire, but it's not enough to let you see what's on your plate. You're alternating between a fork and a flashlight. That's no way to enjoy your ramen.
Scenario 2: Digging through your bag for your earplugs when your tent mate has shattered your sleep with her snoring takes both hands.
Scenario 3: That budget hotel is on generator power, and that goes off at ...Holiday gift guide for campers
Nov 29th, 2011 at 9:00AM: While most campers take the winter off to pursue other outdoor adventures, the holidays are still a great time to spoil the camper in your family with some fresh new gear. And, some of the heartier folks out there camp all year long, so they'll appreciate gifts that they can play with immediately. Here at Gadling, we're geeks for camping gear and love to get outside. With the holidays approaching ...Gadling gear review: Icon Irix II headlamp

Whether you're navigating a dark trail at night or simply reading a book in your tent after sunset, you'll find a multitude of uses for a headlamp. Despite the fact that the concept of strapping a light to your head seems like a simple and obvious one however, not all ...Gadling gear review: Solite 150 Headlamp from Light & Motion
Jul 28th, 2011 at 9:00AM: A good headlamp is one of those pieces of gear that you really don't know you need until you have one. Then you find all kinds of great uses for it. During my various travels, my headlamp has proven useful, in so many situations, that it is now difficult to think about leaving home without one. Whether I'm headed to a mountain campsite or a five star resort, I always bring a headlamp of some kind. ...Joby Gorillatorch Switchback - lantern and headlamp in a single unit
Oct 21st, 2010 at 7:00AM:
Joby has been on a real roll this year. They entered the year with their existing lineup of popular bendy-tripods, and added flashlights, a video tripod (review coming soon) and a brilliant roadside emergency light.
Today, they announced their first LED flashlight specifically designed for the outdoor enthusiast - the Joby Switchback.
In a single product, the Switchback can transform ...Gadling's ultimate camping gear guide
May 20th, 2010 at 10:30AM:
With Memorial Day just around the corner, we are rapidly approaching the unofficial start of summer and, with it, the start of camping season. Of course, many people go camping all year long and either live in perpetually warm climates or simply don't mind bundling up and enduring the cold. The vast majority of campers, however, eagerly await the arrival of Summer so that we can pack up our ...I won't leave home without my....
May 1st, 2009 at 3:30PM: We all have our favorite items for the road: Some popular ones from friends and colleagues are Swiss army knives (one of my top five unless I take only a carry-on), iPhones, and wheelie-bags that convert into backpacks. For me, this particular item is indispensable. I don't even take a weekend away without it. And what's strange to me is that most folks don't travel with one of these - but once ...
