Gearing up for your first camping trip of the summer?

The Bite
Head into the wild in eco-style with outdoor travel necessities like socks, backpacks, and blankets made from recycled or organic materials.

The Benefits
1    Wear old soda bottles. Companies like EcoSpun, Patagonia, and soon, Polartec, recycle old plastic bottles which are melted and spun into polyester.
2.    Save water by wearing socks and gear made from organic cotton. The organic growing method uses up to 25% less water than conventionally grown cotton due to the excellent water retention of organic soil.
3.    Ensure that your impacts are minimal by following the 7 Leave No Trace® principles: plan ahead and prepare; travel and camp on durable surfaces; dispose of waste properly; leave what you find; minimize campfire impacts; respect wildlife; and be considerate of other visitors.

Personally Speaking
Since it’s been snowing in Montana even though it’s May, Jen’s stocking up on fleece blankets, while Heather’s testing how many wine bottles will fit in her solar-powered backpack.
