EPPERSON MOUNTAINEERING Medium Climb Backpack
Photo by Huckberry.
A ‘80s-inspired climbing pack built from tough-as-nails components, with cheerful color-blocking evocative of rope bags and vintage-inspired details.
Founded in Montana in 1973, Epperson Mountaineering came about for one reason—Mark Epperson couldn’t find a climbing pack that suited his needs. Mark’s vision of packs built with superior craftsmanship, solutions-oriented design, and top-notch materials stood the test of time, and Epperson Mountaineering continues to deliver on their original promise of high quality packs. Still proudly made in Libby—the original location—the Medium Climb Pack draws design inspiration from ‘80s rope bags and is constructed from tough-as-nails components. Boasting their signature carabiner front closure and wrapped up in a cheerfully color-blocked package that’s chock-full of vintage outdoor details, this pack is built for the long haul.

Ignik Gas Growler Deluxe
The portable, refillable answer to a mountain of disposable propane canisters. Photo by Huckberry.
Last time you went camping, chances are a green canister of propane was part of the setup. Undeniably useful for camp stove cooking, those one-pounders come with one major drawback—they’re single use, which means 48 million of them head to the landfill each year. Ignik solves that problem in the most elegant way, with an easy-carry, easy-use growler that’s completely refillable. One fillup gives you the same fuel as five canisters, and is as simple at stopping by your local propane filling station. Cleared for transport inside your vehicle, the Gas Growler Deluxe will make your next foray into nature a lot more nature-friendly.
