Pick it, or kick it?
Have you recently tested any new equipment for hiking or camping? Those new boots-did they rip apart on the first hike? That new tent-did it stand up to a tornado? Your new camper-is it more comfortable than your home? Recommend it, or denounce it, and tell us why, so we can save our money or get one too.
