We’re posted up at @appalachiantraildaysfestival and excited for the days ahead- stories swapped, miles celebrated, familiar faces, new ones, and everything that makes this weekend what it is.
Every year, the Appalachian Trail community finds its way to Damascus, Virginia- and this year, some of our team hiked in too.
We’re excited to be the title sponsor of @appalachiantraildaysfestival and will be around all weekend celebrating thru-hikers, great outdoor brands, and the culture that keeps the miles moving.
See you in town!

Same DNA. Smaller footprint. Built to go solo.
Inspired by the CrossPeak 2, the CrossPeak 1 delivers the same freestanding design, stability, and quick setup in a streamlined one-person shelter. A compact footprint opens up to a surprisingly roomy interior, while 100% waterproof Dyneema Composite Fabrics balance low weight, durability, and weather protection.

Our good friend Jeremy Cronon, Partnerships Director and Field Instructor at NOLS (@nolsedu ), brings both the experience and trail miles to every gear decision he makes before heading into the backcountry.
After years spent pursuing adventure, his core kit is finely tuned and—unless a specific trip calls for something different—ready for just about anything with only minor adjustments.

On a recent trip to Arizona, two of our team members put their packing systems to the test. Bridget brought her old Appalachian Trail setup, while Victoria packed with a more modern, streamlined kit.
Watch the timestamps- it doesn’t take long to see how extra pockets, buckles, and zippers can slow you down. A simpler system means less time packing, more time moving, and more time enjoying the experience.
Our doggedly determined dear friend and athlete, Will Peterson, is setting out on a northbound, self-supported Appalachian Trail Fastest Known Time. To make it truly Will-style, he’s aiming to average 50-55 miles per day! Over the next weeks, keep up with updates on his page @_will.peterson and follow along at the tracking link in Will’s bio - corsa.run/profile/wpeterson0102. We wish you nothing but dry trails and tailwinds, Will! FORWARD AS YOU GO!
