We Make Kits for Sewing Your Own
Lightweight Outdoor Gear

Contrary to common belief, you do not need to equip yourself with store-bought gear. You can make your own. And when you do, you gain a tremendous sense of freedom from today's consumer mentality - where the products are heavily advertised, expensive, and yet cheaply mass-produced. Making it yourself is about saving money, making it right - without using any cheap materials or manufacturing short-cuts - and using outdoor gear that you can be truly proud of.

Our kits contain only the finest and lightest synthetic materials.

We design our kits for ease of sewing
and provide detailed, step-by-step instructions with many illustrations

Many people believe they lack the ability to use a sewing machine.
This is nonsense.
Please read Why Sew?

Literally thousands of people have completed our kits without problems, most with no sewing experience. All that is required is a bit of patience, and the determination to follow our instructions carefully.

My home-made Ray-Way gear is A+ professional in function, looks, design, and strength! Not to mention lasting over 9 years of all year around heavy use!" - James G., CA

“I suspect what keeps most - if not all - of us coming back to the "Ray-Way" is a simple thing called TRUST! We know that what Ray & Jenny offer actually works, and does so most efficiently. They've been there, done that and the rest of us benefit from those years of amassed wisdom.” -Chris A.

Trail Life


"The best backpacking book ever written"
-Robert K.

Ray Jardine's Lightweight Backpacking

Ray's book covers the essentials of Lightweight hiking, including packweight and equipment, clothing and footwear, nourishment and physical conditioning, and the myriad topics that contribute to these basics. There are chapters on the safety of lightweight hiking and on pack-weight evolution. There are several gear chapters, including the Backpack, Tarp, and Quilt.

There are chapters on wilderness skills such as Stealth Camping, Campfire and Cook-fire, Knots for the Hiker. Jenny has written a chapter for women hikers, from a woman's perspective. There are chapters on foot care, creek fording, snow travel, snakes and bears, to name just a few.

"Once every two or three decades a book comes along that fundamentally reshapes how we think. Jardine's is such a work. Page after page, Jardine brilliantly flips the sacred cows of backpacking on their heads. Every suggestion comes from experience: Jardine has hiked the PCT three times, the Appalachian Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. Get a copy. It could change your trail life." -Backpacker magazine

"Trail Life could be the most important book about backpacking that you will ever read.

"There are a few names that have revolutionized the sport of backpacking, Ed Garvey, Colin Fletcher, Harvey Manning and of course the Master of lightweight backpacking Ray Jardine. Ray's book 'Beyond Backpacking' revolutionized long distance backpacking by showing hikers how to cut the weight out and exploding myths about heavy equipment. Much of the lightweight backpacking equipment and styles today were inspired by Ray and his groundbreaking book. Now Ray and his hiking partner and wife Jenny have revised and updated that classic book with Trail Life. Trail Life is chock full of lightweight hiking ideas that will further revolutionize the sport.

"This is the most comprehensive long distance hiking guide ever written.
"The author and his wife have hiked well over 25,000 miles and all the well known trails as well as a myriad of other trails. Their experiences will prove to be an invaluable guide for those who love to hike and those who seek the solitude of the woods."
-Roger Williamson

Quilt-Kit

Ray-Way "Sew It Yourself" Kit

Used at camp or home for sleeping at night. It works like a sleeping bag, but is open underneath you. You lie on your foam pad and drape the quilt over you like a blanket. But unlike a blanket, the quilt is contoured, so that it molds to the shape of your body.

Our quilt design is much more efficient in terms of its reduced weight and bulk, because it eliminates the useless part of the sleeping bag flattened beneath you. It is just as warm as the most expensive sleeping bag of comparable thickness, yet can be made at reasonable cost - even by those with little sewing experience.

Our Quilt Kit comes in one-person and two-person models, and contains the finest and lightest synthetic materials, and complete, step by step illustrated sewing instructions. The sewing is not difficult. See Why Sew? and Sewing Tips

"When people are worried about the feasibility of going ultralight, the Ray-Way Quilts are exhibit number one in convincing them that ultralight is not about skimping on safety and comfort. Not only are the quilts lighter than conventional equipment, but they are better: every bit as warm, easier to adjust to comfort, less constricting, and more adaptable to multiple uses (e.g., as a blanket around camp). The kits were straightforward to put together with clear instructions taking you through the process step-by-step. I am an ultra-satisfied customer." -Scott  G.

"I have been using a quilt with the alpine upgrade for around two years now. It is my only quilt and performs far better than any sleeping bag I have ever used. The kit was easy to assemble and has greatly improved the way I sleep in the wilds. I find I can regulate my temperature in my sleep and I don't have to wake up to zip and unzip like I do with a sleeping bag. I highly recommend a quilt to anyone serious about backpacking." -Josh E.

Our Quilt Kits also make wonderful "blankets" for beds. You can make them full width and length, and with no leg taper or foot pocket. For use at home, or as gifts to loved ones. Due to its light weight, you might be amazed how comfortable a quilt "blanket" is to sleep under. Fabulous!

Quilt-Stowbag-Kit

For carrying the quilt in a Ray-Way backpack while hiking. This stowbag is ultralight, waterproof, economical, and easy to sew. All our kits include detailed and illustrated sewing instructions.


Storage Bag Kit

Ray-Way "Sew It Yourself" Kit

For storing the quilt at home. This simple bag is made with a synthetic and lightweight, and highly breathable fabric - just the thing for storing your quilt between adventures. The storage bag will keep your quilt clean and bug-free, and will help retard mildew and odors. And best of all, the storage bag is large enough that it will not crush the insulation. Makes excellent gifts, or a "starter" project for someone learning to sew.


Sleeping-Pad Kit

(kit) This Kit will allow you to modify a foam pad so that it fits folded snugly inside your Ray-Way Backpack. The kit comes with detailed instructions. Not included in the kit, you will need to buy a foam pad from your local sporting goods or department store for modification with this kit.


Tarp-Kit

Ray-Way "Sew It Yourself" Kit

For anyone who would like to sleep warmer and more comfortably in the wilds. The Ray-Way Tarp is simple in appearance, yet will outperform even the most sophisticated tents in a wide variety of weather and terrain, when used according to the instructions in the Ray-Way Tarp Book Essential. This tarp is about a fourth the weight of even the lighter tents, and it offers at least twice the living space. And even though this tarp is open all around, it is probably warmer than the tent you are using. Why? Because of the tarp's superior ventilation. A tent traps moisture - even one with extra-large vents) - and on a cold night that moisture saps your body heat (conducts your body warmth away from you).

The Ray-Way Tarp comes in "Sew-it-Yourself" Kit form. The Kit includes all the materials, and detailed and illustrated sewing instructions. Sewing this kit is not difficult. Please see Why Sew?.

"I just finished my Ray-Way Tarp Kit. It was my first sewing project, the first time I've used a sewing machine, and the first time I stepped out of my, "Oh, I can't do that..." comfort level. The tarp rocks! I cannot believe how easy it really is. For any readers wondering if it'll be too much work please, please go for it! Take it one stitch at a time. The instructions are simply amazing. And the best part: Holding something in your hands that, 1) you made, 2) that you now know you can customize and change, 3) and that you can repair if or when needed. Take it from someone who'd never threaded a sewing machine before... you can do it!" -Zane D.

"This weekend my wife and I took our newly constructed Ray-Way tarp to the desert for its inaugural voyage. We particularly enjoyed sleeping under the tarp which allowed us to enjoy the night without sweltering inside our old claustrophobic tent. Not to mention leaving four unnecessary pounds at home and the deeper connection to the landscape of stars and sounds of the night." -Ben T.

"After a tremendous rainstorm one night, we were totally dry using our Ray-Way tarp. Some friends who had camped in their 3-season tent were soaked. Thanks for a new frame of reference." -Jim H.

"Using the Ray-Way tarp in the high Wasatch Mountains, we experienced the first winter storm. 1.57 inches of moisture in the form of rain, sleet, hail and eight inches of snow. I pitched the tarp using the two pole Ray-Way method. My tarp was one of three structures out of eight that did not sustain any damage and collapse from the wet snow. In the morning I had 18 inches of snow piled on each side of the tarp, but not a drop of water inside! If I had any questions about the design of the tarp, they were answered last Friday night." -John M. Venture Crew 9112 Advisor, US.Army.Mil


Net-Tent

Ray-Way "Sew It Yourself" Kit

The Ray-Way Net-Tent is a lightweight enclosure made of netting that clips very simply under a Ray-Way Tarp Kit for keeping the insects at bay.

Our Ray-Way Net-Tent comes in several designs and sizes: please see our Order Form:


Quadratic Sewing Video


(Video) Jenny demonstrates the complete construction of the Quadratic Net-Tent kit.

Run time 45 minutes.


BatWing

Ray-Way "Sew It Yourself" Kit

A door that closes-off one end of the Ray-Way tarp, used on those stormy nights when the wind would slant rain a ways into the interior. Our BatWing is lightweight and is quick and easy to set up. It works with or without a Net-Tent or Spitfire, and is adjustable depending on the geometry of the tarp pitch - whether you pitch your tarp higher or lower.


Tarp Book Essential


This book explains how to camp with a Ray-Way Tarp - safely and enjoyably when backpacking or hiking, sea-kayaking, canoeing, bicycle or motorcycle touring, scouting and so forth.

312 information-packed pages, a few hundred B/W photos, and lavishly illustrated

The book includes the history of the Ray-Way Tarp design, and explains why Ray and Jenny enjoy tarp camping so much. The book describes campsite selection and tarp pitching methods, and includes several photo sequences of knot tying for tarp pitching. There are chapters on bugs and critters and rain and wind - all the questions and perhaps reservations that a person might have in regards to camping with a Ray-Way Tarp.

Backpack-Kit

Ray-Way "Sew It Yourself" Kit

The majority of highly-touted features on most backpacks actually work against the hiker. For one thing, they add weight - and of course expense. They also tend to waste one's time spent fiddling with them. Contrary to the hype, most of those features are designed for marketing rather than hiking.

We designed our Ray-Way backpack for thru-hiking, and have used it during all of our many multi-thousand mile backpack trips since 1993. Our backpack is extremely light-weight, and yet very durable when taken well care of.

Our kit Includes all the needed materials as well as detailed, step-by-step sewing instructions with many illustrations.

The last Ray-Way backpack I made has done over 10,000 miles, so I'm ordering a new one. Still the best pack out there! -Scott Williamson

I was so impressed at how detailed and clear the sewing instructions for the Ray Way Backpack were. Having zero sewing experience, I really thought I would have to sew the backpack twice. But since the instructions were so great, the pack is by far my favorite pack I've ever hiked with. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. -Troy A.

I have sewn nine backpack kits. Two for myself, and others as gifts. Still planning on the AT with ALL Ray-Way gear. -Craig H.

Also be sure to check out our Backpack Pocket Kit:

Sixteen home-made Ray-Way backpacks at one of Ray and Jenny's outdoor classes

"Your designs underwent a very rigorous six day field trial with sixteen sets of Ray-Way gear (backpacks, tarps, and quilts). To my knowledge there was not one failure and this was by mostly novice seamsters. WOW!" -David d.


Backpack-Sewing-Video

Ray-Way "Sew It Yourself" Kit

This DVD Video shows the full sewing construction of the Ray-Way Backpack Kit.

Jenny demonstrates the sewing while Ray narrates. And during the one hour run time, we detail the backpack's complete construction, start to finish.

The video shows how easily the backpack kit goes together, and it also provides an understanding of the assembly methods, for those who prefer to learn in a visual and audio context.

For someone who prefers, instead, to read and study printed instructions, those that come with the kit describe the process fully, step by step. The video is not meant to replace those printed instructions.


Insulated-Hat-Kit

Ray-Way "Sew It Yourself" Kit

A kit that you sew together yourself. The hat is warm and yet very lightweight. The size medium weighs only 1.1 ounces. And the hat is very packable, occupying very little space in a backpack or clothing bag.

The Hat consists of one layer of Alpine synthetic insulation, which is about 0.9" thick. This insulation is sandwiched between two layers of lightweight nylon fabric. So the hat is fully reversible.

Intended for use with a quilt or sleeping bag, as well as outdoor activities such as camping and hiking in cool to cold weather. The hat is highly breathable, allowing normal insensible perspiration to evaporate - so it offers maximum warmth.

"I think the Insulated Hat Kit is your most under-stated item. It seems so mundane on the web page whereas the backpack, tarp, and quilt kits etc. all shout for themselves. But the times I've used the Insulated hat in a challenging cold/wet/windy situation and it's turned the whole thing around in a matter of minutes. Both night and day, it offers amazing utility for a 1 oz weight. I never go camping without one." -Mike G.

Just finished my Insulated Hat. I love it! I have used a windstopper fleece hat that velcroed under the chin for years. It weighed 2.3 oz and was pretty thin. The Ray-Way Insulated Hat weighs only 1oz.(!!!), is several times thicker (much warmer), and is totally windproof!! The insulated hat is so superior, there is absolutely no reason to ever take the fleece hat again! Fantastic!!!! This was my third Ray-Way Kit. It is so great to see the quality in the finished gear go up as I get better on the machine. Thanks again! -Matt L.


Knife-Kit


Our knife kit is intended as a beginner's project, and can be assembled with minimal tools and no prior woodworking experience. The four-inch blade is stainless steel, has a very sharp and exceptionally durable edge. Its made of world-class steel, and will last a lifetime - and will run circles around any cheap knife.

The wooden handle comes in pre-drilled pieces that you epoxy together and shape to suit. The finished Knife is considerably lighter in weight than almost all expensive knives with good quality steel in them. This means you can take your Ray-Way knife hiking, backpacking, or whatever, with minimal extra weight.

This is a beautiful knife, and because you made it yourself it has much more meaning than a store bought one.

"I loved the kit and the instructions and the way everything went together just as the instructions said. The wood handle is much more beautiful than the pictures can show--it has fiddle and the colors change from a glowing golden yellow to a light brown as it is tipped in the light. I hated to use the sealer on it because now I can not enjoy its smell which was wonderful." -Dick M.

Sheath Kit

(kit) The sheath is the open pouch type, protecting the blade while securing the knife by friction alone. It is meant to be carried in the backpack rather than worn on a belt. This is for reasons of simplicity and safety. Our Sheath Kit contains a full set of illustrated instructions, and a set of patterns for cutting out the leather sheath, the welt, and an optional Lightning Bolt pattern for tooling the leather. After cutting out the leather, you punch holes for the stitching, following our template, then hand-stitch the sheath closed. Very simple!

"The leather sheath kits are superb! The instructions and materials are flawless. Thank you for the continued inspiration and integrity you bestow to this wonderful life. This art is highly rewarding. With gratitude," -Will Lady

"Atlantic Caper is a fantastic show! Thank you so much for investing the time and effort to produce this gem of a movie. The production values are surprisingly good, the editing and narration are first rate, and the on-ocean footage is breathtaking." -Brett T.

"Caper Across the Atlantic is awesome! Last Friday night, we sat in awe of the adventure, the sunsets and sunrises, the Ocean. Congratulations, and the professionalism is impressive." -Ben A.

"I've watched your video three times now and I think it's super!!! I must admit I cried when you left La Gomera and I cheered and cried when you arrived at Barbados. Sure was glad you included the Skydiving also! Great!!" - D. J.

256 Adventure-Packed Pages
272 b&w Photos, 13 Maps

"I just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to read about your adventures in your Siku Kayak book. What will and determination it must have taken to continue on at times, and also to make the decision to not continue further. The pictures were well worth a million words, as realizing that the ice may not let you back to shore: AMAZING...I also watched the Atlantic Caper DVD and loved it as well. The skydiving at the end was quite a finish to the whole adventure, nice landing... Thank you so much for sharing with us." -Steven S.

"I was quite impressed with Siku Kayak. I love the way you kept printing costs down, yet managed to include tons of inspiring photos though your website. Outstanding adventure!" -Ben T.


To everyone who has placed orders for our kits, our sincere appreciation. We hope you are envisioning good thoughts for the successful completion of your projects, and for the enjoyable time you will have using your home-made gear in the wilds. Make sure you tell your friends about our kits so they can discover for themselves the joys of making and using their own home-made Ray-Way gear.

Hey guys. I've long thought about writing and finally merely decided to say "thanks". Simply - thanks. Thanks for always being there, for your forward thinking, for your inspiration, for proving it can be done, for being bulletproof to the non-believers, for never quitting, for doing it right, for doing it first, for doing it best. With great appreciation, respect, and sincerity - simply - thanks. - J.G.G., VA

"Jenny and Ray, Just to let you know that 'Trail Life' was our number-one book for the year. Congratulations and thank you." - [One of the world's foremost retailers of outdoor gear]

"This morning there came a knock on the door. It was our mailman with a package. I immediately ripped it open to reveal Trail Life. OMG it blew me away. The pictures, the style, the information... You totally understated the book... Wow!!!" -Curtis W.

"Trail Life is of EXCELLENT quality. It appears to a novice hiker that it covers MANY, MANY aspects of thru-hiking. It discusses areas that someone without the years and miles of experience that Ray has would never even imagine come into play for their future adventures in the wild. The quality of the book and the photographs almost make it a fancy "coffee table" book, yet it contains very useful information." -Del S.

"It's been said that the mark of real genius is the ability to reduce something to its purest and simplest form. For example, Einstein with e = mc2 or Michelangelo, who, when asked to demonstrate his skill as an artist drew an absolutely perfect circle freehand in one stroke. Well, there's no question in my mind that Ray has done the same thing with backpacking. -Mike W.

I suspect what keeps most--if not all--of us coming back to the "Ray-Way" is a simple thing called TRUST! We know that what Ray & Jenny offer actually works, and does so most efficiently. Without reference to age, they are truly "elder statesmen" -- they've been there, done that and the rest of us benefit from those years of amassed wisdom. In a world of hyper consumerism, it isn't always easy to know who to trust." -Chris A.

"I ordered and received some products of yours recently. I haven't begun sewing, but can't wait. Also, I'm currently looking to buy other Ray-Way kits." -Eric B.

"I really enjoyed making and using my new backpack. I plan on starting my quilt tomorrow and hope to order a tarp and quadratic in the next two weeks." -David F

"It has been extremely rewarding making my Ray-Way tarp and quilt on my own and can't wait to use them this summer!" -Jason T., MD

"I finished the quilt for two people. My daughter lives in the Yukon and I wanted to make her one. I was scared, as its been awhile and I had forgotten how, but I remember "just one step at a time". I thought of you both all the while. Thank you so very much for sharing your clever brain and clear directions. I just love ulta lite and your amazing ingenuity. Thank you for taking the time and helping all of us." -Lynnie W.

"I wanted to let you know that I am forever grateful for what you have done for me, and always feel blessed that because of you and your Blood Cleaner my life was saved! Don't see doctors. On no medications (since meeting you). Sleeping really awesome which is unbelievable! I would have never dreamed of sleeping the way I do without a sleeping pill and being on it for 17 years it's just amazing! All because of you!" -Sherry Bella, 2022

"I had a lot of fun sewing the tarp. I think the backpack was a little easier to sew because the pieces were smaller. My biggest piece of advice is the same as yours: measure carefully. I spent a long while laying out the fabric and measuring and cutting to make sure I got it right. The drawings where very helpful and everything went together exactly as explained. I can't wait to try it out this weekend." Geoff G.

"I'm in the process of assembling my backpack kit that arrived last week, and I'm having a blast working on this project." -Isaac B.

"I just finished the JMT and finally put the tarp to the test. We had some intense storms at Lake Marjorie just north of Pinchot Pass. It was plain awesome! It was the windiest, rainiest and most lightening I've camped in and most intense storm I've seen. I remained completely dry inside the net-tent and under my quilt. I knew the tarp should hold up, but now I know viscerally how strong the shelter system is! Thanks again for producing such great products." - David C.

"First, a big thank you for all you've done for the outdoor community. Your lives have inspired me for many years. Love your books and hope you write those you've talked about. Maybe Jenny could do more writing too. I enjoyed what she shared about her solo hike of the AT. Her perspective could add more depth to those amazing adventures. Also, more about your lives now. I look forward to the News section and your homestead. Thanks again for everything." -Dale F.

"I received my order of net-tent and quilt and have made both. Great sewing directions." -Kathy J., NH

"I bought a copy of the PCT Hiker Handbook back in the 90s. What an impression it made on this novice backpacker! Now that I'm retired, I'm excited to finally get around to some Ray-Way kits." -Dave P.

"I have have been using the Ray-Way Blood Cleaner for four years, and it's made an important addition to my health and well being. I have had various issues over the years, and BC seems to do the trick every time. I have really enjoyed experimenting with this device." -Andrew F., CA

"THANK YOU!!!! i love my pack- this one is for my husband (he said he'd even sew it!)" Elleyne B.

"I'm working on backpack kit, the instructions are easy to follow. This is my forth Ray-Way project and I feel like I can now sew anything." -John K.

"Hello Jenny. I was reading your report on your AT hike. Well done! I hope one day I’ll find the time (or guts) to hike some long trail. But I’m from Belgium so need to plan." -Steven V. (and family)

"You know, I used to be in awe of the lifestyle the two of you have lived, and later, I was impressed with the thought processes and the creativity involved in the products that you created to solve you ultralight problems.., but now I'm just impressed with your excellent customer service. Thank you for your initiative." -Dave B.

"This weekend my wife and I took our newly constructed Ray-Way tarp to Anza Borrego Desert SP for its inaugural voyage. We particularly enjoyed sleeping under the tarp which allowed for us to enjoy the perfectly still and balmy desert night without sweltering inside our old claustrophobic backpacking tent. Not to mention the other perks in leaving 4 unnecessary pounds at home and the deeper connection to the landscape of stars and sounds of the night." -Ben T.

"I'm 25 days into my treatment. We love the Blood Cleaner and look forward to using it long term." - Whitcomb K.

"Hi Ray, I’m a writer with Backpacker Magazine, and I’m working on a feature for our very last print issue (heartbreaking, I know). We’re doing a roundup of some of the most influential gear of all time. I was wondering if you have an old sample backpack we could photograph, or maybe a high-resolution photo? Thanks so much!" - Corey B.

"I have made my shell pants. I wanted the largest size in case I made mistakes and also so that I could wear them over regular cargo shorts, not just yoga shorts. And also because all pants out there are always too small in the thighs for me. I think I did a pretty good job on them. The instructions were very clear. I was able to give them a good test for ticks and stickers this weekend, after nearly ruining my leggings with the little plant stickers and watching ticks crawl up my legs. The shell pants are good for ticks. They can't hang on for long. They're also good for little plant stickers and burrs that might ruin your leggings. And I like that you can see my fancy yoga shorts underneath" -Diane S.

"My partner and I recently hiked the appalachian trail and used a Ray Jardine homemade tarp for the journey. We love that tarp so much, it was our home." -Rainbow

"Thank you very much for the great communication and fast shipping! Unfortunately, now I must repackage everything and wrap each item in Christmas paper/ribbons as this is my gift to myself this year!" - doug s.

"I have a Ray-Way tarp and it's as good as the backpack. I am happy to have found your products. It is inspiring what is possible, when everything unnecessary is left off. Please stay in business for a while." -Eduard M., Germany

"My Ray-Way backpack has been traveling with me around Europe. Not only do I enjoy its many advantages, but I'm also very proud when friends ask me where I have it from. Being so content with this product, I have decided to also make a two-person quilt for an upcoming hiking trip in Southern Italy." -Stefan M., Germany

"Made a quilt last fall, it is fantastic!! Can't wait to make the Tarp (ordered today). Thank you so much!" Matt L.

"I recently purchased your quilt and tarp kits. I have finished the quilt, and it was easy to sew and is quite amazingly warm. Thanks so much and keep up the great work with your kits, the directions are clear and they are a good deal!" -Rick T.

"I love the kits, especially the tarp. I use mine as my main shelter up here in Northern BC. My family doesn't all fit under one tarp anymore! I would like to order another." Dale B.

"I had zero experience with a sewing machine, but making your backpack was a thoroughly enjoyable journey. It was time consuming, but worth it. Can't wait to try it out! Thank you so much!" -Kayla E.

"We just finished our tarp (and are just starting the quilt). I cannot imagine sleeping under anything else now. What a tremendous feeling having made my own equipment. Thank you so much sharing your designs and whole new way of looking at things. Or should I say old way of looking at things. Not many years ago our parents and grandparents made everything they used, now everyone buys the things they use and somehow are never satisfied, and thus are depressed and taking pills and the drug conglomerates are getting rich, people are getting more depressed and so it goes. I have never been more satisfied with a piece of equipment. Because, I made it myself and that is satisfying, which is the antithesis of depression. Thanks again." Bruce R.

"I just finished a week hiking in the Sedona AZ area. My Ray-Way gear worked great. I have always loved to backpack, and now I use only my home-made Ray-Way gear and I love it. I first bought all the Long Option Kits. but I just ordered all new kits without the Long Option. So I will have a choice which size gear I will use, whether hiking and camping solo or with someone else." -Peter H., HoneyBee Rescue, San Diego, CA

"Yesterday I finished the backpack kit. Today I decided backpacking is more important to me than freshly painted walls. I’m working on gearing up my kids now (ages 7 and 13), hence this latest order" -Sunny E.

"I like my Ray-Way tarp. It is so light yet so very effective. Now I'm working on the pack." -Rick C.

"I just ordered a Backpack Kit. This will be my first time time making gear and I'm excited to start sewing!" -Sara J.

"I have been enjoying my quilt for years. It has served me well in all circumstances!" -Jerry K.

"Prior to the JF class I purchased and made your Ray-Way pack, quilt, tarp, net-tent, knife and sheath. I brought them all and they performed wonderfully. I was especially impressed with how my pack felt and performed when we loaded 22 pounds of water for the long climb up to our camp above treeline. The pack carried the load beautifully. The instructions were excellent." Rich M.

"The Quilt kit turned out great, only 1.25 lbs per person with the Gorget and Splitzip options. The Stowbags are the only way to go. I just ordered a Ray-Way backpack kit. Thanks so much for making such great kits that are beyond reasonably priced." -Mark H.

"I love Trail Life! I couldn't stop reading it. It is like reading candy." -Pamela A.

"Thanks for the incredibly lovely package. I needed to learn how to sew, and I am so totally thrilled to get started! Jenny, I have enjoyed reading and hearing about your adventures so much. You are a hero of mine. I have done just a bit of "the way out there" myself, and find that taking weight off is essential." -Alexandra T.

"I love your kits and books! I have made 2 backpacks, a quilt and an assortment of stuff sacks and storage bags. Top notch materials, directions and patterns. After reading your excellent book Trail Life, I am ready to make some shell pants." - Scott C. CA

"I spent the last two weekends in a row completing a tarp and quilt, and It has been an incredibly rewarding and satisfying experience. I can't wait to test this equipment in the Sierra this summer. Thank you!" Dylan B.

"Congrats Jenny for completing your AT in 2021. I made and use a Ray-Way backpack, and I also have a (God thank) copy of Trail Life and read in it frequently. I sometimes just take a part and re-read it. Best from Belgium." -Steven V.

"You have the COOLEST products. This is my second quilt from you." -Fred W.

"I just finished up sewing my 3rd ray-way backpack last night, and I've been thoroughly pleased with the packs. I'll be sewing a couple more quilts in the next couple of days, along with another stowbag. Thanks again for the kits and the prompt service! Nothing but praise so far!" Paul W.

"We've really enjoyed your kits! Probably wouldn't have gotten far without your helpful instructions. Thank you!" -Dean S.

"I am finishing up the Ray-Way backpack and I love it! I may make another for fun, now that I know how to sew. But first I am going to move to the quilt." -Steph C.

"Greetings Ray/Jenny, Got out for another AT trip. Hiked Damascus to Bland VA with a friend. We Tarp camped each of the 7 nights on the trail. Backpack, quilt, net-tent all helped make for a terrific trip, as I knew they would." Craig H.

"I have purchased many of your kits and have been exceptionally pleased with them." -Scot F.

"Can't wait to receive the Ray-Way kits!!!" -Kathy S.

"I made the shell pants just before a trip to the Sierras where the mosquitoes were horrendous, even at 11,000 feet in elevation. I did not get any bites through the shell pants, though -- unbelievable. And they are so light. The pants will be an essential piece of gear on all spring/summer trips from now on!" -Carol R.

"I have been making some gear from your kits, mostly for the kids. I've completed the tarp and am almost done with one pack. The kids have been helping. It has been so much fun!" -Ken H.

"Just crossed the Brooks Range 170 miles. Used Ray-Way gear & methods exclusively. We found the Ray-Way gear better suited for navigating the challenges of the Arctic landscape. Our best memories were being all cozy & warm under our tarp & quilt, in a downpour, with all the exploding sights, colors and smells of the late summer tundra all around. Ah the places my homemade gear has taken me! Many thanks!" -James G. AK

"I’ve made a tarp, net tent, quilt, and hat from your kits, and I am about to order 2 shell pants kits. Keep up the good work." -Eric F.

"I placed another order today, after deciding to make all new gear this winter. My last Ray-Way pack (made 5 years ago) is still going, but torn. My tarp was made from your kit 9 years ago and is still serviceable, but is finally showing signs of sun damage. This is on gear that receives a lot of use each summer. Not bad for the price! I still feel your kits are the best thing going in backpacking equipment. I see so much cuben fiber now on the PCT and have seen a lot of fabric failures due to its use. Glad to see you are not caught up in the hype on that. Anyway, I want to thank you for offering these kits. I can't see how you are making any money on them, but your ideas and techniques have had a huge influence on not only my hiking but also my life." - Scott Williamson

"This quilt kit is for my wife - she tried the one I made this summer (the alpine upgrade) and now won't part with it until I make her one too =)." -Nickolas G.

My husband and I are very excited to make the 2 person quilt, as my down bag is bulky and weighs 4 lbs and his has lost too much loft to keep him warm. We always hike together so it just makes sense to snuggle up. We are currently doing backpacking trials using Rays books. Someday we hope to do the PCT like you two. We are getting a tarp kit next, then we will go for the backpacks. We are grateful for all of your wisdom and experience and are excited to get away from the overly expensive and heavy gear!" -Tracie B.

"My son has made several of your kits, and wanted to buy more for his family. He is a professor in Bellingham, WA. We used to hike and read your books a long time ago, and it rubbed off on him, lol." -Katherine S.

"Ray and Jenny, Thank you for your tarp design and kits. You've brought the openness of sleeping under the stars together with even greater protection and comfort than a tent. And this at a lighter weight than other gear with the satisfaction of making it oneself. Your Tarp Book Essential is very thorough in explaining how to make the most effective use of the design. Thanks again." Mike W., CA

"Just got back from the Gila Wilderness NM where I used the trusty 2P tarp, net tent and my newly completed quilt. Loved sleeping in the quilt. Regulates temperature much better than a sleeping bag. And a whole lot less fussing with zipper, etc. My new favorite price of gear!" - Brooks P.

"I have been wanting to order one of your Backpack Kits for a while now, I am super excited!" -Nick B.

"I just finished reading your story of sailing around the world. What an amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing. I also just finished sewing my first Ray-Way quilt. I am excited to try it out this season." -Dylan G.

"I so much look forward to sewing and using these kits! Thank you SO much for the inspiration...I used to be a gearhead junkie..poring through the latest catalogs for the newest and best...you guys have given me the inspiration and the confidence to do it myself..cheaper and better! Thank You!!!" James P.

"I am a fan of Beyond Backpacking (and now Trail Life), and those books have changed my life, thanks for sharing your wisdom. I purchased a backpack kit and it is now done. The kit was great, the instructions were clear and detailed, and I am very happy with the result. Thank you both!" Mark D., Indiana

"I've been a fan of your adventure philosophy for many years and have bought all your books. Now I'm looking at your blood cleaner." -Ed B

"I was given a deluxe quilt kit by my wife for Christmas. It was my first time in front of a sewing machine - my wife showed me the basics then left with the kids for the weekend. I finished the foot box as she pulled back in the driveway. It turned out awesome and her pride in my work was a real boost. Thanks for the great kit - As you imply in your writing, learning to make your own gear is empowering, and I have an attachment to the quilt beyond what my expensive down bag ever meant to me. On top of that, my kids love it and want to sleep under it too, so I'm ordering two more quilts and a tarp." Michael M.

"Hello from New Zealand. I love your products!" -Nathan H.

"Just took my tarp and quilt to Patagonia, spending 4 nights in Torres del Paine National Park in every kind of weather. While some friends had traditional tents/sleeping bags and spent a few nights awake due to being wet and cold, I stayed warm and dry and could not have been more proud of my handwork and your awesome products. I have struggled to find the same connection to the outdoors that my husband naturally has but these Ray-Way items are the beginning of a beautiful friendship." -Catherine T., UT

Hi Ray, We haven't met, but I'm the Editor of Rock and Ice magazine. We are doing a special edition on El Capitan free climbing and we'd like to include you." -Francis S.

"I have made your tarp (x2), net-tent (x2), quilt (x2), insulated hat (x4) and will order a couple of backpack kits very soon. I have gotten addicted to making my own gear." Matthew L., NZ

"Thank you so much for offering your variety wonderful kits. Thus far, I have sewn a tarp, net-tent, quilt and stowbags using your kits. I have also recently completed the knife kit and am about to start on the leather sheath. All of the kits produce a great looking final project and more importantly function extremely well while on the trail." James S.

"I'm extremely grateful for your efforts and that you're sharing this Blood Cleaner technology." -Conall M.

"Thank you for the awesome work you guys do!!!" -Frank D.

"I've looked at all the kits and I must say that they all are interesting. I have no skill at all but looks so much fun and practical to be able to do it by yourself. I just placed my order for the backpack, tarp and sleeping pad kit, along with some options (backpack sewing video, pocket, tarp Stowbag, BatWing, thread and AT Gear video). Please don't forget to include the AT gear video, can't wait to learn from all the knowledge from both of you!" -Eric B.

"After years of researching, I'm finally taking the plunge to go the SMART Ray-Way! We can hardly wait to hit the trail soon with my new Ray-Way gear! Hopefully my wife also gets her order placed in time for you to send it out the door before Jenny's departure for the exciting 3-month solo thru-hike of the AT. Woohoo for you! Thank you for all you do to help folks like us. We are certainly the better for it!" -David B

"I am on my second tarp kit from you guys and my first net-tent, and still happily using a sleeping quilt I made from a Ray-Way kit." -Mikela S.

"I ordered my first quilt kit with much trepidation, due to the fact that my only prior sewing experience was watching my wife make throw pillows! I did the whole thing in about 7 hours!!! Wow. Though there are definite signs this quilt was done by a first-timer, it looks really good. This was a most exciting project and I cannot wait to use it. Thank you Ray and Jenny for a most inspirational project." -Will A.

"My son and I took our Ray-Way tarps to Philmont this year and they were awesome, rain, hail, wind, always dry and what views the entire trek. We use them all year here in MN and wherever we go. It is amazing to see how much better they work than tents, especially for eliminating condensation and we love the open view. Thanks for the awesome design, complete kits and quality materials!" - Ken D., MN

"We have made tarps, quilts and stowbags with total satisfaction. Keep up the good work." Phillip B., Australia

"Hello Ray, Jenny! I'm currently putting together several of your kits (I've finished the Quilt, Tarp and I'm about halfway through the Backpack), I can't stress enough how awesome the projects are. I've really gotten to enjoy sewing, and am extremely proud of the projects I've finished. Another bonus is that the instructions are so well thought out and detailed that you're practically given no room to mess up :) I've found that any delays in sewing were due to me not having read them carefully enough, thus spending time with the seam ripper :) And, the triple and quadruple stitching on the backpack shoulder straps almost made me feel like I was putting together a parachute harness! :)" Dan D., Prague, Czech Republic

"Your tips and experiences in your books "Tarp Book Essentials" and "Trail Life" allowed me - 6 years after having replaced my natural hips by artificial joints - to start again hiking with a minimum of package and an optimum of joy." Michael S., Germany

"I just want to thank you for all the knowledge you've imparted for a great cause. Not only innovative and inspiring but also well written. You have changed my life. I sewed a Ray-way tarp and I'm hoping to use it on the AT this summer." Paul E., MN

"We used our tarp and the net-tent on our 100+ mile trip of traversing the Uintas in Utah. Both were great and went a long way to lightening our loads. The tarp saved us from several severe soakings on the last few days. We were able to set up the tarp quickly and get out of the rain. Thanks for everything!" John W., UT

"Ray and Jenny, Thank you so much for offering your products in kit form. There is definitely *Magic* created while sewing your kits. After thru-hiking the AT in the early 90's, I never thought that I would bond with a backpack or sleeping bag (now quilt) again." Darren P.

"I truly love my tarp and spitfire. It's so cozy to climb in for the night, and so fulfilling to still being connected with the outdoors. Thank you for all your experimenting, designing, sewing, testing, and sharing. So many people's lives have been enriched." - Ruth M.

"Package arrived safe in Kansas. Thank you. When I opened it, my cat Cosmo made sure it passed inspection. He also really likes the kraft paper that all my new stuff came wrapped in! I got my hands on a sewing machine, looking forward to making & checking out this gear." - David W.

"I just placed an order for some of your awesome thread. I'm about to run out and realize now I should have followed your advice and ordered more than one spool! oh well, I ordered 3 this time because I can't imagine using any other thread for any of my projects ever again." Joel C., IN

"Dear Ray and Jenny, We've built your tarp, net-tent and quilt and are about to embark on another quilt and a backpack. We just wanted to drop you a line to say thank-you. Before we read your books and started adopting your philosophies and creating our own equipment, we didn't think backpacking with our 2-year old son would be possible. One of us has to carry him most of the way, so the other person must carry almost everything else. We now have a few adventures behind us and are pleased to say it is possible! Thanks for helping allow us to be together as a family in the wilderness!" Simon H.

"Your kits are perfect. I have never sewed before but was able to follow the instructions and get a lot of praise from friends and family on the finished projects. My hiking buddy and I have been going every other day on hikes to train for our upcoming trip. We are having a blast together. Thank you again for making my life richer and fuller." Randall B.

"I'm excited to make the quilt, thanks so much. And thanks for all you and Ray do to inspire adventure!" -Tom B.

"I'm in the process of assembling my pack kit that arrived last week, and I'm having a blast working on this project. Unfortunately, I cut webbing wrong but Jenny sent a new piece right away. Your customer service is incredible! Thanks so much." -Isaac B.

"I have completed my backpack kit. The materials, kit instructions and well engineered, elegant design were much appreciated. Lightweight does not have to be fragile - and now that I have made this pack I can see it lasting for a long, long time. I wish I had this during my boy scout days. Would have made those hikes less painful. Can't wait to put some miles on this pack!" -Brooks P.

"I made a backpack kit and it is now my pack of choice! I took it on the 270 mile Pennine Way in the UK and it performed very well." Geoff G., UK

"I finally thru hiked the AT with my son. I was a student of Ray's in a 1975 Outward Bound course. He has been a life long guru to me. Thank you Ray!" - Rob S., NH

"Ray and Jenny: I am a longtime fan. I’ve sewn multiple tarp and quilt kits and a backpack kit and love them all. Yall design some great gear and great kits!" -Ryan I.

"Thanks a lot for your effort! You really offer the finest materials, we both LOVE the Quilts, the lightweight nylon fabrics in their beautiful colours, they have real mood improving qualities! And it's relaxing to follow your instructions, they're so well thought out! Thanks for your good work by which you also improve our lives." Kirsten G., Germany

"I really enjoyed making my tarp, net tent, and sleeping quilt. I've been rereading Trail Life and the Tarp Book Essential as well. Thank you for making sewing so easy and fun. I'll be working next on my backpack next! I plan to be on the High Sierra Trail this July." - Aika M. CA

"My husband and I have used the Blood Cleaner for over a year now and have testimonies to its effectiveness. I keep referring people to get their own." -Jill H.

"I'm not a hiker, but a biker. But also for me the information given in Trail Life Lightweight Backpacking is very, very, very helpful. Worth its weight in gold. After all, it doesn't just help you to reduce gear's weight, but also seems to help reducing your mind's weight. Ray and Jenny, I thank you so much! Keep it up!" -Hans A. Germany

"You all rock! Can’t wait to sew these Ray-Way kits up!" -Samuel M.

"It's been a few years since I've tried to sew anything, so I like the step-by-step of the quilt instructions you included. The quilt kit and instructions are excellent. " -Helen A., WA

"Now,I'm starting to try sewing Ray-Way Backpack! It's sooo fun!!" -Toshimichi K., Japan

"Dear J & R - Had I selected a better used sewing machine, I might have gotten here WAY sooner. I struggled to balance the stitching on a klunker. When finally I was lent a well maintained old Kenmore, I cruised. I got thru your 2P tarp, tarp stowbag, and 1P woodland quilt. All of which came together at this campsite. I will always remember the special feeling of lying under my self constructed shelter for the first time, listening to the sound of a late summer sound prairie night. Thank you for your admirable kits which allowed a dog pushing 60 to learn some new tricks! Thanks! (PS-Your Tarp Essentials book IS essential.)" - Matthew

"The order placed today will be my seventh backpack!! Two for myself, and others as gifts. Planning on the AT with ALL Ray-Way gear." Craig H., GA

"I made a Ray-Way tarp in 2006 and used it on the PNT, and it's still going strong." -Joe Y.

"I've really enjoyed sewing all the kits I've ordered from you." -Chris J., CA

"Thank you Jenny and Ray for all the knowledge & effort & passion. It's letting me live life the way I want to." -Nate H.

"Thanks for the excellent kits. My older daughter outgrew her Ray-Way quilt so it is time to make a new one." -Peter J.

"I'm using the Apocalytic Blood Cleaner right now as I bang on these keys. First observations are that the hardware is both streamlined yet far more robust. Also, the actual electric charge feels different, it's more of a harmonious wave. Thanks for all of your hard work on this and I look forward to experimenting with the latest and greatest BC model!" -Andrew F.

"I'm an Eagle Scout from Indiana, and I just got back from a 2 week trip to Philmont scout ranch in New Mexico. I took your tarp and net tent, and they worked great! We stayed nice and dry, and it's much lighter and roomier than a tent. I love your stuff, and I continue to use ideas from your Trail Life book whenever I camp. Thanks for all you do for the hiking/backpacking experience." Mark M., IN

"The sewing journey I was on the last couple of weeks was an incredibly deep and enlightening experience to say the least! Sewing the quilt, tarp, backpack and stowbag kits, and studying the tarp book, backpack video, and highly detailed instructions with extremely accurate diagrams = A whole new perspective :) Thank you Ray and Jenny" Will Lady

"I've made and happily used a number of your kits on my AT thru hike, and all of them have been fabulous. My backpack is 10 years old and has only one repair! So appreciate that you make your kits available!" -Noah R.

"I really enjoyed making my tarp, net tent, and sleeping quilt. I've been rereading Trail Life and the Tarp Book Essential as well. Thank you for making sewing so easy and fun. I'll be working next on my warm hat kit, and then the backpack! I plan to be on the High Sierra Trail this July. Thank you!" - Aika M., CA

"Big fan of your books and the Ray-Way hiking products. Ive completed two of your tarp kits and just ordered the stow bags and shell pants kit. Thanks for all the info and help you have provided me." -Daniel D.

"I am very happy with the pack, quilt, new tarp, and spitfire that I made last winter, used them all this past summer. As it turned out the north cascades had a somewhat heavy bug season this past July and I was very happy to have the spitfire. I was really impressed with the functionality of it, as well as the ease of going in and out of the door. Once again a top notch product that just works and works well." -Scott Williamson

"I have used my Ray-Way tarp happily for 15 years now, on my 10,000+ miles on several long distance trails. I love its effectiveness and versatility! I've bought two more tarp kits as well and love them too! I have found your kits excellent in supplying everything I need to construct a tarp: proprietary fabric, cord, thread, and instructions. That's why I bought a kit each time I made a tarp. I'm satisfied customer! Now, I coach other women to fulfill their walks and encourage them to use a Ray-Way tarp." -Regina R.

"What a relief you still sell the Blood Cleaners! I have ordered sewing kits in the past and like them and still use them. I have been using my Blood Cleaners for quite a while and it has been very beneficial. Now I want to order another one for my wife." -Brian K.

"Several years ago I ordered a quilt. It has been doing its job, keeping me warm on my AT section hiking in Spring." -Primo F.

"A few days ago I spent my first very rainy night under my Ray-Way Tarp. I was in Washington, just off the coast of the Columbia River. It's impossible for me to have been any dryer. And, with my quilt, I was quite comfortably warm. I got a little nervous when the rain started but the longer it poured the more the nerves turned to pride. I was also using the net tent and shared my under-tarp-space with a stump. Probably one of the proudest camping moments of my life. Though my pitching needs work, I've just finished reading the Tarp Book and have ideas on how I can improve. Thank you Ray and Jenny for the pointers during construction and thanks for sharing all your experiences and ideas. I think we're all richer for them." - Michael P.

I started my PCT thru hike with my Ray-Way backpack, quilt, shell pants, sleep hat and tent stakes and they all worked great. Thanks for all you have done for the backpacking community." -Scott C.

"I am a guide all over North America and I use your designs daily and talk about your Kits with most of my guests. I currently use two different Ray-Way backpack sizes, a solo and a two person quilt, a tarp, and have adopted many of your backpacking techniques and aesthetics. THEY MAKE SENSE, WORK BETTER and LAST LONGER! Thank you so much for all of your beautiful work!" -Jeremy C.

"Thank you so much for sharing your products with us and encouraging us to create! So many lessons about life learned by sewing." -Jim D.

"A couple of years ago I made your tarp and net tent kits, and I haven't used a "real" tent since. Aside from one hastily set up camp on a steep hill where my ground cloth slid slightly beyond the tarp's protection overnight, it's kept me dry even in fairly severe thunderstorms. And the ventilation and roominess can't be beat! On one trip it was raining in the morning, so my hiking partner and I cooked breakfast underneath the tarp. Then, the other two members of our party crowded underneath for a relatively dry meal (of course the net tent wasn't pitched at the time). That never would have been possible in a 2 person backpacking tent. So thanks for providing these kits!" - Brian S., OH

"I have made my shell pants. I wanted the largest size in case I made mistakes and also so that I could wear them over regular cargo shorts, not just yoga shorts. And also because all pants out there are always too small in the thighs for me. I think I did a pretty good job sewing them. The instructions were very clear. After nearly ruining my leggings with the little plant stickers and watching ticks crawl up my legs, I was able to give the shell pants a good test. The ticks can't hang on, and the little plant stickers and burrs don't ruin my leggings. I also like that you can see my fancy yoga shorts underneath." -Diane S.

"I completed my quilt last month. It turned out great! Just ordered 2 more. One for my son, and one for my son in law. I also ordered the tarp book, so that will be my next project! Thank you!" Will N., NZ

"We love all our Ray-Way gear!" -Brian K.

"Hope y’all don’t mind my sewing for others." -Craig H. Ray replies: Hi Craig, No, we don't mind, at all. It actually helps us out, indirectly, because more people can enjoy our finished products. So, thank you, we appreciate it. -Ray and Jenny

"I've enjoyed reading of your adventures for years, and I have several of your books. Thank you so much for your service, and keep up the good work." -dave b.

"I made a order back in August and have been slowly working through all the kits. The instructions are great and very clear! I am placing another order for more Ray-Way kits. Thank you!" -David T

"I recently ordered your 2 person quilt kit, and found the instructions and materials to be of superior quality. The project took a little longer than expected, but the results have been well worth the time and effort. The quilt fits perfectly. As for performance, we hurried off the very next weekend to try it out. The weight savings was incredible, weighing less than one of our traditional bags. The trip was a bit blustery and got down into the 30's but we noticed no loss of comfort. Thank you for such an innovative idea."-Jason M.

"I'm thrilled with the hiking shorts and shell pants kits. I found the instructions easy to follow, especially having sewn your other kits (backpacks, tarp, net tent, quilt). We are starting on the PCT full of anticipation! We appreciate so much all that we have learned from reading and re-reading Trail Life, and from learning how to make and adapt our own gear." - Catherine O., BC

"The quilt kit just arrived and I've already sewn it together and slept in it in my back yard. I woke up and thought I would check the temperature and I was blown away to find out that it had dropped to 37F overnight. The quilt kept me absolutely toasty the whole night, even below the rated temperature and all I was wearing was a t-shirt and cotton pants. I had a blast making it and it weighs 1lb 9oz. Thank you so much for this great product." Tom C.

Sea-kayaking the Coast of Arctic Alaska
Shishmaref to Herschel Island
78 days, 1,440 miles

Sea-kayaking the Coast of Arctic Alaska
Northern Paddling Trip #3
We returned to Shishmaref the summer of 1996. The ensuing kayaking journey proved to be more interesting and rewarding than we possibly could imagined. It was also the most difficult and dangerous, but by then we felt we had developed the appropriate skills, and were better equipped to handle the conditions. The weather had turned genuinely cold, with icy gales and considerable snowfall. Some days, while paddling among the floes, frozen sea spray glistened on the kayak's deck; some days snow. Yet even this part of the trip was enchanting. The expanse of virgin coastline, the beauty of the sparkling sea and its ice floes, the wildlife and the tundra adorned in its fall colors, and the jagged mountains glistening with fresh snow - all were beyond description.

Near the end of the trip Jenny joined Ray on a borrowed bike, and they finished the journey at saltwater's edge on Chesapeake Bay.

Paddling on the Brink
San Felipe to Bahia Animas
24 days, the Sea of Cortez with Linda

Paddling on the Brink
Baja Sea-Kayaking Adventure #3
Ready to begin, we feel suddenly alone. Immensely alone, to say nothing about committed and vulnerable. A wave of misgiving floods over me, and for the first time in months of planning and preparation the prospects of a successful outcome seem absurd. I utter those classic words aloud: "What have we gotten ourselves into this time?" Having heard this many times before, Linda breaks into a grin. And with that we shove our kayak into the sea and begin our paddling adventures.

Canoeing Fulton Chain of Lakes
In the Adarondacks of Up-State New York
12 days, 125 miles

Canoeing Fulton Chain of Lakes
Canoe Trip #1
On a Break Between Standard and B2B Classes, Ray and Jenny Rode a Bus to Upstate New York and Rented a Canoe. Spent 12 Days Canoeing the Fulton Chain of Lakes in the Adirondacks of upstate New York, Along the Historic Fulton Chain of Lakes. In past times this route was plied by fur traders, at a time when the principle means of wilderness transportation was by canoe. Having recently sea-kayaked 1,440 miles of Arctic Alaskan coastline, we were in fairly good physical condition. However, neither of us knew how to paddle a canoe. However, by trip's end we had figured out how to handle the canoe fairly well.

Canoeing the Kazan River
Kasba Lake to Baker Lake
25 days, 560 miles

Canoeing the Kazan River
Northern paddling Adventure #7
The Story of Ray and Jenny Jardines' canoe trip down the Kazan River, summer 2001, paddling 560 miles in 25 days Across the Barrenlands of sub-arctic Canada. A key feature with these trips is the urge to explore and discover, traveling day after day without seeing another person. The beauty of the Barrenlands, its lakes and rivers are incomparable. We love the feeling of openness that goes on and on for hundreds of miles. The feeling that we have practically the whole river - all 560-miles of it - to ourselves. Every stopping place is new, different and fresh. What a privilege to have so much land to explore and enjoy.

IUA Hiking & Biking Adventure
Bicycling Trip #1
IUA Hike & Bike, Canada to Mexico Through Idaho, Utah and Arizona. After Hiking for a Month Through Idaho, Generally Along the Rugged Idaho/Montana Border, we came down of the mountains to the plains of northern Utah only to meet our nemesis - a lack of drinkable water caused by cattle pollution. After a gruling 24 hours without water, we turned back and managed to reach a town. Rather than abandon the journey, we bought mountain bikes at a x-mart for $149 each and switched to riding. What we did not expect was how much fun riding these bikes was! And even though the bikes were less than optimal, we averaged around 75 miles a day, with a high of 95 miles.

Climbing Vinson Massif
The highest peak in Antarctica
16,050 ft. (4,897 m)

Climbing Vinson Massif

Vinson Massif is the Highest Mountain in Antarctica. In the Wake of our South Pole Trip, I Didn't Want to Leave Antarctica Quite Yet, and Climbing the Highest Mountain Appealed to me Greatly. Never mind that I didn't have climbing boots and gear. I bought or borrowed them, and joined an incoming climbing group. The climb was a success, and in retrospect I might have been the first person to ski to the South Pole and Climb Antarctica's Highest Mountain in a Single Trip. Never mind that, it was a lot of fun!

Sea Kayaking Mackenzie River & Arctic Coast
Northern Paddling Adventure #4
Ray and Jenny paddled their homemade sea-kayak "Nunaluk" down Canada's Mackenzie River, 975 miles in 24 days from Ft. Providence to Inuvik. Then they float-planed to their turn-around point of the previous summer on the coast, then paddled to Tuk - 200 miles in 12 days. East of Tuk the ice was solid and looked like it would stay that way. So they switched to plan B: paddling one of the inland rivers.

Canoeing Thelon River
Lynx lake to Baker Lake
24 days, 575 miles

Canoeing Thelon River
Northern paddling Adventure #5
Continuing Northern paddling trip #4: Thwarted by polar pack ice on the coast, Ray and Jenny switched to plan B, which was to paddle one of the inland rivers. We tried to air cargo the kayak to Yellowknife, but after waiting in Yellowknife a week for the yak to arrive (got in a ton of great hiking) we arranged to truck the yak home. Unfortunately most of our gear was in the kayak. We went to the Wal-Mart and bought a cheap canoe, paddles, life jackets and rubber boots. And at a grocery we bought a month's supply of food. The next morning (July 25) we float planed to Lynx lake, the headwaters of the Thelon River. Then we paddled 575 miles down the Thelon in 24 days to the Inuit hamlet of Baker Lake, near Hudson Bay.

Adventures on Mt. Aconcagua
Mountain Climbing
Three Weeks, 22,025 ft,

Adventures on Mt. Aconcagua

In the wake of my Antarctica trips (skiing to the South Pole and Climbing Vinson Massif) I wasn't quite ready to return home, so I stopped by Aconcagua to give it a try. I had a great time, but discovered that I wasn't acclimatizing to the high altitudes fast enough, no doubt due to the extreme energy drain of skiing to the pole. Nevertheless I climbed to 22,025 feet, (within 300 meters of the summit).
