Are you in pursuit of exploration? VargoOutdoors.com is the place to start. With its humble beginnings as a backpacking technique information and hiking checklist hub, Vargo Outdoors has since grown into a flourshing eCommerce website. Vargo now manufacturers its own line of backpacking equipment — from tent stakes, to stoves, mugs, and more. In 2008 the DriSeal Series of watersports gear was added to their lineup.

As of this writing they have over 75 items with the Vargo Outdoors brand name. Browse their site for great information about Appalachian Trail Stats, Backpacking Tutorials, Hiking Checklists, and other helpful links. Their founder, Brian J. Vargo has engineered a great site for those who love exploring the outdoors.
