    31 Things From Backcountry For Anyone Spending A Lot Of Time Outdoors This Fall

    Finally see what all the fresh-air fuss is about this fall.

    1. A warm fuzzy Patagonia fleece pullover you can rely on during autumn adventures for easy layering and an extra-large storage pocket.

    2. An Osprey Daylite bag reviewers swear by for its durability, making it the ideal bag whether you're out skateboarding or on the trail all day.

    3. An investmentworthy and ultra-lightweight and moisture-repelling jacket (with an adjustable storm hood!) made with Tyono fabric to protect against rain, wind, and whatever other elements you'll be facing this fall.

    4. A classic and cozy Carhartt pullover ready to keep you warm through the fall, winter, and spring, and without breaking the bank! I love to see it.

    5. A handy collapsible java drip that'll make delicious coffee accessible and arguably easier than ever, even if you're out in the backcountry looking at the fall foliage. Just add a reusable filter, pour over your favorite java, and enjoy!

    6. A 20-degree synthetic sleeping bag perfect for anyone who wants to be as toasty camping out in the woods or car camping as they are in their own bed.

    15. A pair of polarized sunglasses to protect your eyes and guarantee you see every view that comes your way. Because you did not walk three miles uphill, over a river, and through a patch of poison ivy to have the blinding sun force you to squint your way through a once-in-a-lifetime view of all the leaves changing colors. You did NOT.

    16. A Buff bandana you can wear on your head, your neck, your wrist...basically wherever your skin is exposed. This can be used year-round to protect you from the sun. Just because the weather's cooler doesn't mean you can't get a sunburn!

    17. A large waterproof Bluetooth speaker sure to instantly upgrade your outdoor experience. This has a built-in lantern and a microphone for phone calls...~sounds~ like a must-buy to me!
