The Pelican also features a different pull handle than the Yeti and Ozark coolers as well. I do think the Pelicans pull handle is the lowest on my list of the three. As far as color options go, you can purchase this in one of two colors, Greystone which is the one featured in this… Continue reading Ozark Trail 17 L Camping, Hiking, Mountaineering, Technical Backpack, Gray, Unisex

The Ozark does need those pegs in the ground to be self-standing so setting up on rocks would be infeasible (at least without applying some clever tenting skills). I also liked how my head wasn’t directly beside the door, which often occurs for an end-door tent. If something crawled through the zipper door it wouldn’t… Continue reading Ozark Trail 17 L Camping, Hiking, Mountaineering, Technical Backpack, Gray, Unisex

The coolers in competition were the Ozark Trail 45QT Rolling Thermocooler, The Pelican 45QW Elite Wheeled Cooler, and the Yeti Tundra Haul. I chose these coolers because they were the closest among the brands when it came to internal storage. In product design, UX gets a lot of attention—and for good reason. Making products that… Continue reading Ozark Trail 17 L Camping, Hiking, Mountaineering, Technical Backpack, Gray, Unisex

Cracking this thing open sounds like you are opening the airlock on a spaceship. You can tell there is a serious seal established when you latch this shut. The Ozark Trail 45 Qt Rolling Thermocooler also comes with an internal tray, which the other two do not. Because of this we realized we didn’t have… Continue reading Ozark Trail 17 L Camping, Hiking, Mountaineering, Technical Backpack, Gray, Unisex

Enjoy a easy and portable resolution for outdoor relaxation with the Ozark Trail Pineapple Steel Folding Hammock Chair with Padded Seat. I wouldn’t recommend putting this 10-person tent ozark trail chair up on your own though, because it’s quite difficult to get the roof to prop up by yourself. Sometimes I worry that these fiberglass… Continue reading Ozark Trail 55 L Crystal Cavern Technical Backpack

I know some will immediately dismiss my review simply because I bought this pack at WalMart. I’ve been attempting to drop weight for the past several years, mostly because my knees can’t handle it. My shelters have gotten lighter as have my sleeping system — next in line for a diet was my carry system.… Continue reading Ozark Trail 55 L Crystal Cavern Technical Backpack

Sometimes it’s a single trail or we combine multiple trails at a state park. During these longer hikes I found it useful to have a large hiking bag and not just a school backpack. Generally, you get what you pay for when you purchase cheap hiking gear. But I was pleasantly surprised with the quality… Continue reading Ozark Trail 55 L Crystal Cavern Technical Backpack

The overall product weight of this cooler is 37lbs empty which is inline with the Pelican, but 7lbs heavier than the Ozark Trail cooler. The Tundra Haul features rubber clasps, which I really like, and hard plastic wheels. Yeti has clearly set themselves apart as the biggest player in the cooler space. Since they launched,… Continue reading Ozark Trail 55 L Crystal Cavern Technical Backpack

The other two colors will have different rims and accents, so if you don’t love the orange you have options. Pelican is a newer entry in to the world of rotomolded coolers and have taken their own spin on design and function. Overall the ozark trail chair Pelican coolers have sharper edges and a bit… Continue reading Ozark Trail 55 L Crystal Cavern Technical Backpack
