3. RinseKit Portable Shower

Adventurers rejoice! Rinse your gear, pet(s) and own sweaty self with this unique pressurized shower/clean up system. The RinseKit is the only portable shower to boast the pressure of a garden hose without pumping or having to use batteries. After that rigorous mountain bike ride or peak bagging day, enjoy up to four minutes of spray to rejuvenate you back at camp. Cyclists can also use the RinseKit to give their bikes some post-ride love!

Water conservation is naturally important to many an adventurer. With the RinseKitโ€™s pressurization system, water usage is extremely efficient allowing you to use only the water you need for your rinse. Want a warm shower? The RinseKit is insulated, so just fill up with hot water from your home tap using the Hot Water Sink Adapter.

The RinseKit hose quickly attaches to your water spigot with a quick connect coupler and fills the two gallon pressure chamber with approximately 65 psi of water pressure (standard home pressure) in 20 seconds … and it can hold that pressure for up to one month. Come rinse time, simply attach the spray nozzle to the RinseKit hose with the quick coupler, select one of the seven spray settings and shower on!

4. Big Agnes Cabin Creek 15ยฐ Double Bag

Thereโ€™s nothing quite like getting cozy with your honey in the backcountry. With the Big Agnes Doublewide Series you get a roomy sleeping space without adding bulk. We love the Cabin Creek 15 as our adventures take us into some pretty cold temps. Boasting Hotstreamยฎ insulation along with Big Agnesโ€™ softest technical sleeping bag fabric, this bag is soft and smooth to the touch. So dreamy!

The bag features an integrated full pad sleeve design (which accepts a double wide pad or two single pads side by side). Stretch fabric panels on the side of the pad sleeve accommodate pads of different thicknesses. No more pads slipping and sliding from under you!

Use the top corner hand pockets to wrap the bag around your shoulders like you do with your comforter at home. For further comfort, the Free Range Hood design gives you the freedom to lift your head while snuggled in the hood; and the low profile cordlock lets you un-cinch the hood with one hand.

Additionally, the Cabin Creek Pillow Barn keeps your pillow tucked in tight all night. Other cozy attributes include a No-draft collar, No-draft wedge, No-draft zipper, and No-draft center flap. Double zippers allow entry from either side of bag and when unzipped allows top of bag to be used like a comforter. Ahhh, sweet dreams.
