1) West America X Woolrich Camp Blanket/Poncho : The West America boys, Jordan Hufnagel and James Crowe, collaborated with Woolrich on this amazing limited-edition item. Vintage wool in a rarely produced pattern and color way. Perfectly packs into bedroll style for road trip.

2) Fires : In a camp cabin, next to a slow brook or surrounded by mandolin & harmonica folk, a wood burning fire can soothe the soul and invoke thoughtful conversations.

3) Forestbound X Refueled Camp Tote Collaboration. About five years ago I started collecting 1950′s Boy Scout backpacks and various vintage US flags. Both items remind me of camping as a boy. I asked Alice Saunders of Forestbound to combine the two into a tote. Now I can always Be Prepared.

+1) “Big Sur” movie : Big Sur has always been one of my favorite Jack Kerouac novels. I believe many of us would like to find respite in the Big Sur wilderness, once or twice in our lives. This adaptation, directed by Michael Polish, debuted at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and opens in theaters November 1, 2013. “And when the fog’s over and the stars and the moon come out at night it’ll be a beautiful sight.”
