Review & Description

The Bonfire X puts 350 lumens of focusable light on your belt. One of the brightest flashlights available at this size! The latest LED technology combined with the precision zoom lens produces bright white light with clean edges. The Cree LED chip sets new benchmarks for efficiency and you can switch to low mode for even longer battery life. Solid state design is virtually indestructible, since there is no filament to burn out. The Bonfire X has 3 modes: full power, low power, and emergency flashing. Uses 3 AAA batteries (included!), or a single 18650 battery (not included) with the included alternate adapter. Used by paramedics and firefighters, plumbers, electricians, homeowners, backpackers and campers...anyone who needs a lot of light in the dark in a compact, sturdy body. It's light weight and clips onto belts, pants, or any other fold...just 4.4 oz without batteries and 5.6 oz with 3 AAA batteries installed. Read more

Review & Description

This is the story of a boy who was born with a part of his body he didn't like. He was born with a shiny red helmet on his head. He can never take it off. Other kids laughed at him. Nobody wanted to play with him. His parents told him that he was lucky and if he studied very hard, he could do exciting things with that helmet! So he studied math and science and everything imaginable. Soon he grew and was able to do wondrous and exciting things because of his helmet! He never again regretted his helmet. He realized that there is a reason we all are like we are and he realized that he loved his helmet!

Mr. Burke was born in Los Angeles, California and grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. He Graduated from California State University Chico with a degree in Social Science. He has been in East Asia for the past 6 years, teaching English to 6, 7 and eight year olds. He currently lives and works in Pusan, South Korea. He has been doing wacky drawings for the children for years now and decided to finally put them into print. He is an adventurous guy who tried many things in his life and is now sharing some of that fun with children. To him there is nothing more satisfying than having a group of children listening attentively while you spin a story and having them gaze in amazement at your illustrations. In his free time, he likes to travel to Japan and The Philippines and soon to China and South-East Asia collecting more adventures! He loves drawing with pencil, markers and crayons. He loves to go hiking on weekends and goofing off with his family! Read more

Review & Description

In this collection of essays and stories, Griffith relays the news from the Colorado high country. It’s not the news of the day, but the news of local lives lived out over many years. In the title story, he climbs a high peak with his sister as she continues to hike in the fresh shadow of her son’s suicide. Griffith rides out a lightning storm while his sister hikes until the strength of the hills rises up through her feet. In other news, Griffith examines our attempts, especially those of mountain locals, to get closer to nature’s real world. A retired woman named Etta runs the trails and fires rocks at slob campers to help them learn better behavior. As a further educational aid, she sneaks into their camp at night and fills their hiking boots with shit—Etta takes neither shit nor prisoners. Griffith brings us the odd news of the healing warmth that comes from fly fishing in the snows of winter. In these mountain stories, there are devils in machines, a grouse family trying to stay together, and a cat with a sensible life. Stories full of wonder at life lived in thin air. Griffith tunes his ear to the land’s own lyric. [18K words]In this collection of essays and stories, Griffith relays the news from the Colorado high country.

Who Reads Backpacker?
Backpacker is written for readers who love outdoor adventure. Backpacker readers are serious about their passion for the outdoors, whether it be a simple day hike or an all out backpacking trek. Published 9 times a year, Backpacker provides expert information on the best trails in America, including GPS coordinates to get readers to the most remote and beautiful places nature has to offer.

In 2008, Backpacker teamed up with San Francisco based firm Cooler to calculate their carbon footprint. Realizing that they were putting 5 million pounds of CO2 into the air each year, Backpacker took measures to reduce their carbon footprint, and combined with investment in renewable energy, has efficiently become a carbon neutral publication.

Past Issues:

Magazine Layout:
The editors strive to pack as much information as possible into each issue. The layout offers beautiful landscape photography related to articles. Readers will also find the illustrated diagrams helpful and intuitive to follow.

Comparisons to Other Magazines:
Backpacker is for the ultimate adventurers. Other magazines in its class tend to focus more on camping and casual outdoor activity, while Backpacker covers everything from the simple day hike to the most extreme mountain treks.

Advertising:
Readers can expect to find the advertising specific to the outdoor and recreation industry. Most ads relate to either backpacking gear or foods, with the occasional automobile or travel ad geared towards the adventurous consumer.

Awards:
In 2006, Backpacker won a prestigious National Magazine Award. Backpacker's Basecamp department was honored as the best magazine section within the industry. In 2007, Backpacker was named a National Magazine Award Finalist in the Single-Topic Issue category, which honored the ambition, comprehensiveness and imagination of the recent "Survival" issue.
