What is PET? Polyethylene terephthalate, abbreviated PET, is found in the polyester family and often used in the production of beverage containers like plastic bottles.

Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion single-use plastic bags are consumed worldwide. In the United States alone, the average citizen uses between 300 and 700 plastic bags per year. Currently, 97% of these bags end up in either a landfill or littering our planet’s fragile eco-systems.

Featured Gear this month comes from MSR (Mountain Safety Research) and Therm-A-Rest. Quality products from these 2 brands have provided shelter & comfort for numerous staff adventures.

At MSR, the driving principle behind all tent designs is livability. As in two-person tents that truly accommodate two people, thoughtfully designed entrances, and vestibules generous enough for food prep or gear storage. Dissect an MSR tent and you’ll find the highest quality, most durable fabrics, meshes, and poles available—customized for that tent’s intended use.

Three decades after inventing the self-inflating mattress, Therm-a-Rest remains the most trusted name in outdoor comfort.
