Bodie (pronounced Body) is 2nd most challenging lighthouse to see via kayak – you’ll need to make sure the wind is just right as anything over 12mph makes for a rather challenging paddle. But, with fair winds you’ll find the shallow water empty except from other kayakers and small fishing boats.

Scott WoodWhy is a shoe in the travel section? Because, I never knew what shoes to wear to the airport until these came along. They are super comfortable, light, slip on and off easily for TSA, and yet are totally fine for the hotel gym, a morning run or even an unplanned hike. This is the way to go for travel.

Scott WoodI love wet wading in the summer, but there’s stinging nettles, poison ivy, and sun to contend with. These pants dry quickly, allow freedom of movement and are durable enough for some off trail scrambles to those unpressured waters.

Scott WoodFishing the Southern Appalachians in the summer is always done before, after or during a thunderstorm. Simms has taken the handy sling pack we all love and made it totally waterproof with submersible zippers. No more wet dry flies and soggy sandwiches.
