The Traveling TrekkerWomen's Columbia Titanium Insulated Milano Jacket Review
By James Bantum
The Women's Columbia Titanium Insulated Milano Jacket is a jacket with most of the features of any technical ski jacket, but there are a few aspects of the jacket that may turn off some potential buyers. First, the good: The jacket is extremely warm without being bulky or limiting freedom of movement. The elastic bands on the sleeves do a great job of increasing mobility, making this jacket even easier to move around in than some other, more expensive ones.

Hammock Camping for Beginners
My is my favorite addition to my outdoor gear collection. I purchased the hammock in 2008 for a 10-12 mile hike into the Grand Canyon and 4 days of camping at Havasu Falls. Since then, this hammock has been a permanent addition to every vacation, even when I visit friends or family with a little bit of land and a couple of trees. Not to mention, my own backyard.
