    Inexpensive Water Shoe review

    Tree-Mount Camera Holder

    When heading out on a canoe trip or backpacking trek I'm always looking at ways to cut bulk and weight. I do a lot of photography and video, so having a tripod is an essential piece of gear, but sometimes it's just too cumbersome to pack and transport. Recently, I found a little device that I...
