Featured GearNew at our Thunder Bay store - the Black Diamond Distance and Ultra Distance Z-Poles!
This award-winning lightweight trekking pole has swept the board, finding its place on the National Geographic Adventure Gear of the Year list for 2011, taking the coveted title of Backpacker Magazine's Editor's Choice (2011) and grabbing Gear Junkie's 'Best in Show' award from Outdoor Retailer 2010. If all those recommendations aren't enough, stop by and try them out yourself! Wicked light, they have to be held to be believed, and with the cool Z-design, they fold up small to fit into your pack.

March is all about St Patty, and the luck of the Irish. We asked for stories about luck in sticky outdoor situations. Our favourite entry came from Penny of Manitoba, whose first adventure into Mexican mountain biking was nearly her last!

Tim's Tip of the Month:"Pack duct tape around your water bottle. It doesn't take up a lot of space, and is always handy when needed!"
