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

"I have to say that Atlantic Caper is one of the best documentaries that we've seen!" -R. S.

"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 really appreciate Ray and Jenny sharing what they know and producing the kits that allow me to experience the joy of making my own equipment and using it to experience the joy of being in the wild places. Thank you so much!" -Steve

"Love my tarp, spitfire, quilt, pack!" - Brian W.

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

I am happy to have found your products. I have a Ray-Way pack, tarp and trousers. They are all good. It is inspiring what is possible, when everything unnecessary is left off. Please stay in business for a while." -Eduard M., Germany

"I have read "Trail Life" many times. Now my girlfriend is reading it aloud to us at night before we go to bed. Several months ago, we started training for the PCT. You two inspire us! We hope you are doing well." -Todd G.

"Our first Quilt (and also first ever sewing project) only took a weekend to complete--GREAT INSTRUCTIONS, thanks." -Blue & Nika M.

"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.

"We'll have another order coming your way soon if this quilt sewing project goes well. Thanks!" -Josiah G.

"I have truly learned so much from your new Tarp Book Essential. GREAT JOB!!" Michael W., GA

"I love my Woodland quilt! And now I am ready to tackle a two-person quilt." -Stefanie K.

"Dear Ray and Jenny, First off, thanks for putting together such great products. I just finished sewing the big stack of kits I ordered a few months ago - tarp, spitfire, quilt, batwing, and stowbags for all. I'm pleased to report that they all came out beautiful and professional. I'm an experienced seamstress, but having never sewed with these types of materials, I really appreciated the sewing tips. As an engineer, I found the instructions for all your kits to be a refreshing departure from the norm. The kits are for a through-hike of the PCT this summer, and I am pleased to report that after finishing all the kits, you have a new convert. I've just placed a second order for another tarp and a 2p net-tent, because my husband decided to come with me. He's going to sew the kits himself. :) Thanks again!" -Gwynneth S., AZ

"I made my first Ray-Way backpack several years ago. It has completed one thru-hike and about 3,000 additional miles of backpacking. I've made a few repairs and it's still going strong!" - Brandon G.

"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.

"I am interested in long-distance hiking. I am very impressed by your life style and experience. I especially value your hints and advice not to conquer mother Earth but to somehow immerse. Which leads me to my question: Is it possible to immerse in or to deeply connect with mother Earth (like you describe in the documentation "Wilderness Walks") on prominent long distance trails (like AT, PCT and so) or it's not as these trails are too crowded?" -Dr. Stephan R., Germany [Ray replies: Yes, it is entirely possible. These trails cover vast expanses, so the hikers tend to be spread out. So while hiking hour after hour, you may not see too many people. And the connection happens in your mind, and can happen anywhere if your mind is open for it.]

"Hey Ray and Jenny! Just ordered the tarp and net kits for my PCT thru hike this year! Couldn't go wrong with your products, I've heard nothing but praise!" -Mark D.

"I just ordered one of your two person quilt kits after enjoying your tarp kit so much!" -Scott M., WA

"I successfully sewed your backpack and quilt and used them on my hiking trip to the Altai Mountains in Russia. Most notable a 10-day hike around Belukha mountain. Everything worked almost perfectly. Next time I hope to order and sew the tarp kit. Thanks for the site, info and possibility to make my own backpack and quilt!" -Gwen F., Altai, Russia

"I was happy to receive the kits from you; thanks for the prompt shipment. I'm about 75% done with sewing the tarp, and I want to compliment you both on the detailed and understandable instructions. My partner, who has been sewing for years, is impressed that I have learned how to sew a flat-felled seam before her!" -Michael K.

"I started using the Blood Cleaner, and it's working wonderfully, as well as making Nano silver I'm getting Great results! I'm so impressed with this unit, and means a lot to me knowing they are hand made by Ray and Jenny, two very intelligent people! I just bought another 300 Blood Cleaner just to put away. Everyone should have one of these, healthy or not! Just makes so much common sense. Once again Thank you both so much!" -Sherry R., Canada

"I am reading your book, Trail Life, and I am so intrigued and excited! We want a backpack that we can use for all types of hiking and after much looking and comparing we came back to your website and without a doubt know we will be forever happy with making one ourselves with your kit!" -Margie G.

"This will be my nineth quilt." -Don R.

"I'm really excited to see more Ray-Way products, especially clothing! Very excited about these kits! I really love your kits and their extreme functionality." -Kerry R.

"Hello Ray, I'm writing you to say thank you. My mother took your outward-bound class many years ago. Over the course of my life she has recollected on this, saying that it was one of the best experiences of her life. From solo camping for 2-3 days in the wilderness of the pacific northwest to hiking on glaciers must have been a thrilling experience. My mother's stories of you have helped shaped me into the adult I am today. I'm in the process of planning trips and constantly referencing your books and guides to help in the process. Your wealth of knowledge has benefited me in so many ways. I think there's no greater joy in life than spending it outside either atop a mountain or deep in the forest. Since I've heard so many stories about you; it would be amazing if I could speak to you or meet you at some point in life. I wish you all the best and thank you for all that you've done to influence not only me but so many other people who love the great outdoors." - Kevin B.

"I live in Casoli (CH) Italy, and am sewing a tarp kit and a batwing kit that my son purchased from you. I helped him sew one of your backpacks last year, and it was an extremely satisfying bonding with my son. Thank you for your "risposte" (answers) to "la mia domanda" (my questions)." -Becky W.

"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.

"Hey guys, I sewed all your gear and love it!" -Casey A.

"I ordered a Ray-Way Tarp, and I'm thrilled with my new found ability to sew a flat-felled seam. I can't believe it. Though to be fair, I did it only after a bit of cussing. Its not that pretty, but its functional and I'm so proud. Thanks for what you do." -Leah 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 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've bought a few quilts and tarp kits from you over the years and they changed the way I hike and camp." -Kane L., Montreal QC

"I made a Ray-Way backpack kit in 2011 and after perhaps 6,000 miles of backpacking it is being retired, and I'm ordering another one. I absolutely love it and it is nice having a backpack that weighs less than my friends tiny day packs! Many thanks for the kits, they are brilliant." -Robin A., UK

"Super happy with the kit. The pack is super comfortable with my 10.5lb base weight. it's the 2400cu inch and it's plenty big for a week, and carries great. Thanks for a great kit!" -Colin M., New Brunswick

"I was an Outward Bound student in 1973. I remember that the students your group had a more "challenging" course than the rest of us. What I remember best, however, is a pull-up contest you and a fellow instructor had. We were waiting most of an afternoon for a truck to take us to the next trailhead and you started trading sets of 5 pull-ups... and they continued on for several hours!" -Doug R.

"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

"Reporting that the Ray-Way quilt worked great, car camping in northern New York, night temps down to 34. This 58yo woman, a cold cold sleeper, finally slept well -really well -camping on the chilly nights. No more wrestling with a mummy bag. All my positioning pillows for achy joints accommodated by the quilt. Husband delighted, no more cursing and snarling all night from me cause now I can sleep. Maybe I'll make him one too." -Terry S.

"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

"I managed to sew the quilt (it's beautiful) and now sewing the backpack. Your instructions are great. Your book, so generously sharing your knowledge, fills me with inspiration. Thank you so much." -Kari G.

"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.

"Just dropping you a note about how pleased I am with the tarp I made from your kit. We took a group of scouts to Mt. Whitney this summer and it held up well through many days of rain keeping us warm and dry. One evening it blew especially hard, but the tarp stood firm. The other scouts and leaders were impressed as well (but not as comfortable in their domes)." Greg Z.

"My shipment arrived very promptly and the instructions are very clear and well-written." Don H.

"I just returned from a trip along the JMT and my Ray-Way tarp worked fantastic! There was quite a bit of rain, thunder, lightning and hail but the tarp took it all in stride. My Ray-Way quilt also worked great!" -Darren O.

"My fiance and I are devouring 'Trail Life', which is changing almost every thought we had about our PCT attempt which we are planning for next year. Thanks for a fantastic book!!" -Martyn H., Paris

"I just wanted to make a comment about the thread you sell. After playing with the bobbin tension per the instructions, this thread sews perfectly. It's stronger than store bought, and seems to feed better. Also, virtually no lint buildup in the bobbin case. I've sewed 2 tarps and several stuff sacks with it, and I am a lifelong customer." - Robert G., TX

"I've bought a few Ray-Way quilts and tarp kits from you over the years and they changed the way I hike and camp." -Kane L., Montreal

"I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and backpacker from Minnesota. Unfortunately this year I contracted Lyme disease while backpacking. I've gone through several weeks of antibiotics and tho my situation has improved greatly, I am still experiencing some lingering symptoms. My doctor is not recommending continued antibiotic usage at this time, so I'm searching for alternatives. For this reason, I am extremely interested in purchasing a blood cleaner (probably the Apocalyptic). I have researched several other devices and believe yours to be (by far) the best for my specific situation." -Brian M.

"I just completed my shell pants and shorts kits. They both fit very well, and I enjoyed making them. Both fit comfortably loose, but not too loose, with adequate material for movement and sitting/squatting/kneeling in various positions on the ground. I REALLY like the fit and feel. I really enjoyed not having to cut the fabric to a pattern. Thanks for putting these kits out there. I really enjoyed them! I'll probably be making a set for my wife, too, and I'm actually pretty excited about the Sleeping Hat Kits. I like the idea of keeping my face cozy by breathing through the fabric. Thanks for all your work. My backpacking experience would be far less fulfilling without your books and kits. They've been very formative for me, on a lot of levels." - Kerry R., MI

"I have been on the Blood Cleaner on the order of 100 hours, and it's holding up very well." -Peter O.

"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 purchased your tarp and quilt kits. The instructions are easy to follow and the finished quality is equal to or better than anything store bought. I took my first lightweight trip with my dad and my dogs. The tarp and quilt kept me more than warm in the 30 degree weather. When it is not in use I leave the quilt laying out on a spare bed so that it stays lofted. I also made it a little larger as my dogs like to sleep under it with me, it is probably more of a two person. The quilt is so comfortable that I stripped the blankets and sheets from my bed and use it instead. Camped along Reavis Creek in the Superstition Mountains, this was also the first time I had ever slept under a tarp and it was amazing. Warm, no condensation in the morning, no getting up to let dogs out for bathroom breaks, and I had it stowed and my pack loaded the next morning before my dad made it out of his tent." -Daniel S.

"your 2-person tarp performed flawlessly in our last outing, bivouacing at 1900m in a pretty stiff breeze (Fahn), temperatures around 10° (50°F). The next official weather station (Adelboden) recorded gales up to 52km/h that night. We were on 1900 and certainly got our share of that: Anything not weighed down with a rock or staked to the ground would be blown away" I actually was surprised how little your tarp was affected by the wind." - Urs G.

"Dear Ray, I'm the digital editor for Alpinist magazine and I am writing a feature story about Yosemite for Issue 76. We are in the fact-checking stages for the magazine. Can you please confirm or correct the following information, and tell me if the description pasted immediately below is accurate?" -Derek F.

"I ordered another Blood Cleaner for mum and Dad. They seem pretty excited by the idea." - Ben D.

"Jenny's AT hike inspires me to keep backpacking!" -Janice J.

"I have had your blood cleaner for several years and It has been great. I did a course of treatment a couple of times and it made a real difference in my health. You may be slammed with the COVID-19 crisis, so I am ordering another one!" -Mark T.

"Beyond Backpacking and your's & Ray's philosophy have taught me so much. Can't wait to finally sew a quilt!" -David S.

"We are just back from cycling the north sea cycle way - 2768 miles in 61 days - used the quilt I made and it kept us snuggly warm in the cold weather we experienced. My husband was very skeptical but is now converted to the quilt idea. it saved on space and weight. THANKS." -Brenda C., UK

"I've just returned from a six day hike of the Wonderland Trail around Mt. Rainier. I think that was the toughest ninety+ miler I've done but the weather was super and I had a really fun trip. I was glad to have a light setup using the Ray-Way backpack, tarp, spitfire, and quilt I've made from your kits." -Russell C., AZ

"Just a note of appreciation for all you two do. I've been an avid follower of your hiking techniques since reading Beyond Backpacking in 2004, and while we have never met, your insight and knowledge has played such an important role in my life I felt compelled to write you both a "fan letter". I hope you start teaching classes again, because I'd be there for certain. See you on the trails!" -Clint B.

"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 just am putting the finishing touches on the backpack kit. When I first read the instructions I was a bit overwhelmed and thought "What have I gotten into." However, by following the instructions one step at a time they made perfect sense. I don't think I have ever worked with another set of instructions that were as detailed and well thought out as yours. The pack gradually took shape before my eyes and the daunting process ended up being a series of small steps. Thanks for all the effort you put into the instructions and the kit. After completing the process I now see the genius in the order and progression. Again superb. I will be ordering some more Ray-Way kits in the future." Ron S., VA

"Thank you very much for your help, Jenny. I appreciate the follow up and really look forward to sharing these projects and outdoor time with my family." -Jan M.

"Just wanted to tell you what an impact you guys have had on my life. I read your book in 2009, then purchased the backpack kit (which I'm still amazed I was able to sew), and promptly thru-hiked the AT in 2010. Anyhow, the confidence you guys exude in your books, and reading about other adventures via your website over the years has been motivational. I just ordered a couple new copies of Trail Life to create that spark of adventure in my life again! Hiking the AT was the best experience of my life, it's been a real touchstone, and it started with your book." -Craig T.

"Hey guys, Just wanted to say that I very much enjoy my Ray-Way Tarp. I've used a lot of products and have the ability to purchase most products at a discount. However, I'd rather use the tarp in most cases. Simplicity is elegance. Solid work on your product design. I want to put together a Net-Tent as well, so my wife and I will be sewing that up." John W., UT

"Thank you for inspiration and providing a method for a 62 y.o. retired guy to even think and plan an AT adventure." -Jim C.

"I received the shipments, and this weekend began on the tarp! This is my first sewing project, and I'm excited to dive in. Thank you so much, this is a lot of fun already!" -Isaac S.

"Hi Jenny and Ray, You both are doing great stuff. I read 'Beyond Backpacking' years ago and got hooked on ultralight backpacking. My first project was your Backpack-Kit. Your kits are of outstanding quality and, especially because of the very good instructions, worth every cent! Thanks for sharing your experiences. You both raised a new generation of backpackers - free in their minds, free of commercial influences, thinking for themselves. All the best from Germany " C.F.

"Over the last 15 years I have sewed two Ray-Way tarps, five quilts, two backpacks, and two Spitfires, and use them often." -Steve S.

"I've made several of your kits. Really like them!" -Brad J.

"Thanks for designing these wonderful kits. I've finished two quilts in addition to the tarp and net-tent. What a great feeling of accomplishment, and empowerment!" David S.

"My 2nd alpine quilt is finally coming to its end of life, so I've bought my third quilt kit to sew." -Curtis W.

I'm buying some more Blood Cleaner units for friends. Blessings." -Diana, Panama

"Wow fantastic service. Many thanks!" - Andy D., UK

"Since making my 2200 in3 backpack last year, I have used it and LOVE it. The weight of the pack alone is so much better than my old packs that every time I take it out it makes me SMILE! I just ordered my quilt kit and will have that ready to go. Thanks for making wonderful projects and sharing such wonderful ideas with all of us." Isabel T., CO

"Thanks for all your impact on the ultralight hiking community, and for offering such great products. Best regards from Germany" Jan W.

"Having completed the wind pants kits (S, M, L, and XL) I can tell you they all fit their wearers without modifications. Thank you very much for having the kits available at such a reasonable cost. Having spent the cold months sewing, I am quite anticipating the pleasure of being out-and-about in the new gear." -Steve P.

"Dan and I had an epic summer hiking the PCT, and our Ray-way gear all worked so well for us. We found ourselves explaining it quite often to other hikers, many of them young people sporting commercial backpacks of a design based on yours. We directed a lot of people to your website! I've just sent in an order for another (smaller) backpack and a few other things. Can't wait to get out the sewing machine again." -Catherine O.

"I received my Trail Life book just as the snow in Arkansas put me next to my fireplace for a week. Thus the large order. I did self-impose a 48 hour cooling off period before I placed the order just in case I had cabin fever. But I share much of the Ray Way philosophy. And as the daughter of an engineer, I love the logic of your designs. Wish I had found you sooner!" -Lori G.

"I am exposed to heavy corona virus load in the hospital, and am using the Ray-Way Blood Cleaner as an added precaution." -Dr. W. Sean C. MD: Head and Neck Surgery and Otolaryngology.

"Thanks for all your kit and weight shedding inspiration. lots of snow this summer in the Swedish wilderness Sarek, but the tarp and quilt worked well. Just had to lower it a fair bit in the winds to block the rain and draft. Quilt with Alpine thickness worked really well." - Magnus O., Sweden

"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.

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

"I ordered an insulated hat kit for my husband. I made my hat over 15 years and I never leave on a backpack trip without it. I definitely agree with the assessment provided by Mike G on your website -- it is a really an "understated item." -Carol R.

"So far, i've made your tarp, sleeping quilt, knife, batwing, and now this will be my second backpack. You seriously provide the best products of anywhere out there - no competition! I don't think people realize what a huge value your kits are. I would pay double the price of these kits. Thanks for providing such incredible materials, books, and service!" -Agnieszka G.

"I started the Blood Cleaner 4 weeks ago and I have noticed a Huge improvement in my health. And I look forward to getting so much better! Iam feeling this is all too good to be true! but I honestly can say...I was a person very near death and suffered like there was no tomorrow. Iam more than happy to be you and Jenny's Customer, you two are saving my life!! Thank you!!" - Sherry B.

"I ordered some kits because I just wanted to work on them over the winter. Thanks for your great products!" -David B.

"I am very grateful for the insight you provide in your writings, your encouragement that you provide in the kits, and guidance for folks like me who have never sewn in their life - as well as the incredible support you have provided when we go astray. It is obvious you take great pride in your products and truly care about your customers. Thanks again" Michael B., MD

"Hi Ray and Jenny, I've started using the Blood Cleaner again. Thanks so much. Its a great device." -Noah D.

"I found 'Trail Life' so fascinating. Just as relevant now as when Ray wrote it. Even more so, if the reader scratches beneath the surface." -Guy S., Dubai

"Just wanted to let you know that I finished sewing the backpack and I'm really thrilled! The instructions were great and easy to follow, even for a guy like me who hasn't used a sewing machine in 30 years." -Daniel P., Switzerland

"Just finished the first two quilts, boy is that fun. My son had a few friends over while I was sewing and he was bragging about his dad sewing and about how lightweight his gear is. What fun to see the look on the boys faces when they saw a dad sitting at a sewing machine. The quilts are awesome and so much better than the pictures elude to. The construction is excellent (as with all your kits) and the instructions are easy to follow. I just ordered more thread because with one backpack, a tarp, 2 quilts, (so far) 3 quilt and stowbags, and other ditty bags and many other little repairs and projects, I finally need more." -Geoff G.

"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 received the backpack kit and video, along with the quilt, etc. The video hits just the right spot for demonstration and explanation of the steps involved. I know it's not meant to replace the instructions, but seeing it done is a great help and worth every penny. Thank you again for doing the video, this way many people can take a sewing class with you. I also want to note that your instructions for the tarp kit are clear and easy to follow as well as helpful in teaching sewing techniques, i.e. a balanced stitch and different types of seams. Needless to say, what you provide at any cost is a bargain, so much gratitude to you and Jenny." -Steve B.

"People have commented that your thread lasts forever." -Julius D., FL

"I just wanted to let you know how impressed my wife and I continue to be with the versatility and functionality of our single layer Alpine 2-person quilt. We easily cover temps to 45 without adding more than a thin hat to our shorts and hiking shirts, impressive for a single layer of 3/4" insulation. Yet we don't get too hot at 75. Sharing body heat is a massive plus; it's amazing how much less insulation this allows us to get away with. The Gorget ensures a lovely warmth-snaring drape. It's amazing how much warmth is felt the second the Draft Stopper is tucked under our bodies and between our necks. The split zip makes it feel nearly weightless in our pack. We love all our Ray Way gear, but the quilt is really my favorite! Thanks for taking the time to refine this lovely piece of gear and make it so accessible through your kits." Kerry, MI

"I always recommend your Ray-Way tarps and backpacks and we used them for the 650km Australian Alps Walking Track in very late autumn in Australia: They worked wonderfully." -Phillip B., Australia

"Big fan of your books and the Ray-Way hiking products. Ive completed two of the Ray-Way tarp kits and just ordered the stow bags and shell pants kit. You guys are the best!" - Dan D.

"I see you are writing new books! I’m very excited to read them. Your style of adventuring together has been a HUGE inspiration in my life. And a happy 40 years together. Oh, also I rowed from Catalina to Long Beach finally! You were the first one I heard of to kayak the San Pedro channel years ago. Finally checked that one off too! So fun! Stay safe and always thinking of you guys. Thanks for everything!" -James G.

"I received my quilt kit just a few days after I ordered it. I thought the kit was excellent. It took me exactly six hours to make from opening the box to sewing the last stitch. Just wanted you to know I'm a very satisfied customer." -Patrick M.

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

"I have just completed my backpack after making a quilt and a stowbag for the quilt plus a knife. I still have a tarp to put together. I really enjoyed making my backpack. As soon as I was done I loaded it with all the gear that I could find, and found that even with the quilt and a bunch of stuff that it weighs less than my old pack did empty!" -Eric S.

"Thanks for the great products. I've really come to trust your equipment." Thomas C.

"My wife and I put together a Tarp and Net-Tent last year and have been loving it. Finally, no condensation here in the Deep South where it is ALWAYS humid. We are putting together another order." - Matthew H.

"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.

"Thank you for your wonderful kits. They are much more than a weekend project, they are passports to freedom - spiritual, physical, and material." Elleyne B.

"Thanks again Ray and Jenny for the awesome products you have made available. I have read your books several times and have given them away several times. I have thought about making my own quilt, tarp and pack but wanted more instruction and *hand holding*. Your kits are the answer. You guys are doing wonderful things. keep it up." -Geoff G.

"Your gear and ideas are priceless and have afforded me much greater comfort, adventure, and accomplishments than you could ever imagine. I sing your praises to this day!!" - Geoff S.

"I am thru hiking the AT and now under my Ray-Way tarp and quilt in the middle of a thunderstorm 19 miles north of Harpers Ferry and am dry as toast. Lots of people have recognized the tarp as being a Ray-Way product so I must have done an ok job of sewing." James G.

"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

"My wife and I recently did a nice 7 day hike on the North Country trail here in Michigan, using Ray-Way Backpacks, Tarp, Net-Tent and Quilt. One of the nights we weathered a torrential downpour during a heavy (but windless) thunderstorm. We had never seen rain like that. We found out from a local person the following afternoon that it had rained at a rate of 5" per hour where we were-- torrential indeed. We stayed completely dry under the tarp, if not kept awake by the extraordinary noise of that rain. Site selection gleaned from your books also played a role-- no pooling to speak of on our elevated site on a very thick bed of pine needles." Kerry R., SW Michigan

"I've made many of your products and was very happy with them during my month on the AT." -Ruth M.

"I ordered Trail Life and it changed my whole backpacking paradigm. Now after 20 years of health issues, i have been able to hit the trails once again. So I'm putting another order together. Thank You!" -Ron T

"Hi Its Quilt Addic Fred, This Will be my 3rd quilt with you. Thanks a million. The quilts that I have already made are all that I now use to sleep in!" -Fred W.

"While preparing for our FFT (first Ray Way!), few things have been as valuable as "Trail Life". Early in my studying the book, I started making notes. My notes quickly turned into pages, too large for a web post. So rather than trying to convince experienced outdoor enthusiasts to buy your book, I just started buying extra copies and gifting them. If I hadn't buddied around and climbed with Ray in Yosemite, I might find what the two of you have accomplished as somewhat unbelievable. For the less experienced adventurist, in a one-liner summary I would simply suggest the following: "Ray and Jenny provide not only useful products and trustworthy information to believe - but also, and more importantly - two people to believe IN." You can quote me on that. Thanks again for sharing your experiences, tips and inspirations. I love what you have done and are doing." Craig C., AK

"I bought two Blood Cleaners, one as a spare. My lyme seems to be a non-issue now and I look forward to it always being that way. Thank you for helping to get me through it so fast. I feel very fortunate." -Angela A.

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

"I made my Ray-Way camping quilt in a small NYC apartment on a very small sewing machine-a 1943 Singer Featherweight. the quilt works great, very soft and comfy. This 58yo woman, a cold cold sleeper, finally slept well--really well--camping on the chilly nights in northern New York, night temps down to 34. No more wrestling with a mummy bag, all my positioning pillows for achy joints accommodated by the quilt. Husband delighted, no more cursing and snarling all night from me, cause now I can sleep. Maybe I'll make him one too! Great work Ray and Jenny, Thanks again." -Terry S.

"I will thank you for this wonderful backpack! I came back from my first trip with it, and I fell in love with it! So light, comfortable and nice." -Thamar K., Netherlands

"Never, ever, will I forget that it was you - Ray - who saved my life [Blood Cleaner], and I will always feel grateful and very blessed to have come across your path... thank you!" -Sherry

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

"I just finished a very successful weeklong shakedown hike on the AT, north out of Harpers Ferry. I was extremely happy with my tarp, spitfire, 2800 backpack and two-layer alpine quilt. I wouldn't change a thing. Using products that I made with my own hands brought me so much pleasure on the trail. And the fact that they all functioned so well and made my hiking and camping so much easier, completed the picture." -Ruth M.

"I am British and live in Finland and a big fan of your Guys! I made a R-W tarp some years ago and the net-tent with a flap. They are awesome. I love your ideas, well done." -Chris T

"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.

"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.

"This will be my second Ray-Way backpack. You wouldn't believe all the places the first one's been. Thank you!!" -Melissa

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

"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 was a lot of fun sewing up my Ray-Way Jarred H. I learned a lot. Thanks for offering it. My new favorite pack for most trips. Those thick shoulder straps are the best." -Jarred H.

"I'm just delighted to have discovered that you're still on the web. Thank you so much for all your work in the backpacking world. Even though I don't have any of your gear (yet), it's clear that the light weight gear I currently own wouldn't even exist if you hadn't pushed the world into lighter weight gear. So thanks again for your work!" -Carol D.

"I like my Ray-Way tarp. It is so very light yet so very effective." -Richard C.

"Thank you for all your contributions you have provided to the world of backpacking. Your innovative efforts are the reason ultralight exists." -Constance D.

"Thank you Ray and Jenny, for your amazing customer service." -Jake J.

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).
