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.


AT Gear-Video

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.

"Ray and Jenny: I have just finished my thru-hike of the A.T using all the gear kits I have purchased from you (backpack, 2 quilts, tarp and spitfire). The gear worked out great!! Also while on the trail I have inspired a lot of other hikers to make their own gear, and to use your kits. Thanks again for your great products. GA-ME 2012" Les P., NY

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

"Over the last 15 years I have sewed 2 Ray-Way tarps, 5 quilts, 2 backpacks, and 2 Spitfires, and use them often." -Steve S.

"I have bought a lifetime supply of Blood Cleaners because I have always thought that you will be overwhelmed at some point with orders or supply shortage." -Crag C.

"Trail Life has now been read twice and sports a forest of Post-It Notes for future reference. It's remarkable. Your your writing style is so approachable, which makes the sheer amount of information sink in much better. Kudos" -Guy M.

"I ordered and completed your tarp kit and am excited to try your other products! Now I'm ordering a backpack kit" -Garrett S.

"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

"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 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

"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 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.

"Can't wait for the Trail Life book - I love to camp but haven't done much backpacking in recent decades. I want to hike the Georgia section of AT. At age 58, I'm hoping light weight will be the ticket." -Mark T. [Note from Jenny (age 63) regarding AT hike: You are correct: Lightweight is the ticket. My lightweight Ray-Way gear was key to my successful 2021 thru-hike. Also key was good footwear. Ray's chapter on Footwear is spot-on. You can do it!!] "Thanks so much - I needed to hear that! I'm also planning to purchase the backpack kit."

"My wife and I just returned from our 2 week hike on the North Country Trail, here in Michigan, using Ray-Way gear and info from Trail Life and the Tarp Book. Everything went flawlessly." Kerry R., MI

"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.

"You and Ray are both awesome - I bought Beyond Backpacking about 15 years ago and it totally transformed my outdoor adventures - so excited to be trying one of your backpack kits. - And thx to Ray for transforming my climbing life with Friends too (!)" -Olly S., Scotland

"Just got my first Ray-Way kits together (Quilt and Hat) and must say, congratulations for instructions and material! Great job! Compared to a project I finished a year ago (another brand anorak), your instructions were much, much clearer and easier to follow!" - Urs G., Switzerland

"I have enjoyed making you kits over the years and just want to say thank you for such a great products." - Bruce R.

"I have been a admirer and customer of yours for nearly 20 years. Ray and Jenny, you have been a huge impact on my life." - Eric C.

"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.

"Thanks for offering the kits Ray. You have made my wife a garage widow with all the sewing I'm doing. We just spent 4 days in the Golden Trout Wilderness in the Sierra Nevada using your gear. I think we saved a hour a day just because we didn't have to mess with hipbelts." Rick R.

"Loved Trail Life and had to buy one for my backpacking buddy so she would stop borrowing mine." Heather R.

"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.

"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.

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

"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 use a Ray-Way quilt, and it seems the advantages of a synthetic fill quilt far out weigh a down one. The main advantages in my mind? #1- Build up of moisture easier to deal with. #2-Drying much easier over a wider range of conditions. Last but not least cleaning the quilt while in town is much more feasible. A cleaner quilt is warmer/more comfortable. So anyhow Ray, thank you again for making your products available for purchase. -Scott Williamson

"I love this quilt! I have used it on several trips this year on the AT and will not go back to a sleeping bag. I have slept very warm in temperatures down to the high 30's. It is built with two layers of woodland." - William D.

"I cannot wait to get started on my kits!!!!" -Andy N.

"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 finished the one person quilt with alpine upgrade. It is way lighter than the dinosaur it is replacing. Now I'll need to do extensive testing!!" -Jeremy C.

"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.

"Here's why I love my Ray-Way tarp and net-tent (not to mention my Ray-Way quilts and backpacks...): For "fun" this past weekend, I reverted to an old tarptent from an established small manufacturer of light backpacking shelters, a shelter I had from the days before I made all my Ray-Way gear. I'd forgotten how vastly superior the Ray-Way tarp and net-tent are to the older shelter. Because the old tarptent has only one configuration, there was no way to pitch the roof high enough to prevent extremely heavy condensation on the underside of the shelter. While it didn't rain outside, it certainly did inside. I've never had this happen anywhere near this extent in my Ray-Way setup, and, when there is some condensation under my Ray Way tarp, I know I just didn't pitch high enough for conditions. I won't be making that mistake again, and, really, I knew better in the first place. It's time to make stuff-sacks from the commercial tarp tent. Thanks for having made Ray-Way available. It's truly great stuff!" - Kerry R.

"I have made 3 of your backpacks, 2 quilts, a tarp and a two-person net-tent. They are great!" -Mary E.

"Dear Ray, I am reaching out to say hello. You and I did a bit of climbing in Yosemite and you made a lasting and profound difference in my life. Thank you for taking me under your wing, however briefly." -Jeff A.

"Just completed a knife purchased from you. It turned out great. When I went to sharpen it more (it was already very sharp), I used the sharpening method from your video. I have never been able to get a knife as sharp as this one. I love the blade, the sharpening system, and video sharpening instructions. Another great Ray-Way product." Ron S., VA

"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 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've been a fan of yours for over 10 years, I've section hiked over 300 miles on the AT largely with your gear, countless trips to Colorado and California on the PCT, and my wife and I are just die hard fans of what you do and the unique position you're in to give back to the outdoor community. Thanks for all you do." - Robert G., TX

"Ray, I hear your voice in your words as clearly as I did over 50 years ago. What are years when our minds preserve memories so presently and clearly? I hope you and Jenny are well, still finding adventure in any of its forms." -Chard D.

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

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

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

"I'm really enjoying making your wonderful 'back pack kit' with my children. Thank you so much!" -Atsuko K., Japan

"Ray and Jenny, you produced the best book I have ever read. I'm giving a copy of Trail Life to a friend, and think it is the best advice out there." -Charles K.

"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

"I finished my pack yesterday. In spite of some rather crooked stitches, I'm excited how it turned out. It seems much tougher and strong than I had hoped and I know I'll get a lot of use out of it. I like the front and side pocket drawcords. Perhaps you have drawcords in the description on your website but I had assumed they'd be elastic cord. I think the drawcord is a much better design! I was also very impressed with the shoulder straps, both construction and placement. They turned out very well and your instructions throughout were excellent. I love the pack and I'm excited to try it out on a backpacking trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. BTW, the end weight with a sternum strap is 9.5 oz!" -Reed S

"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

"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 have made a tarp, quilt, stowbag, and storage bag. They came out great!" Brian K., WY

"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.

"I finished my pack yesterday morning! I think it came out very well, I am quite proud of it. For me the combination of the book and the video were superb, and you did a wonderful job with the instructional materials and the plans!" David d.

"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 have been using the Blood Cleaner, and have been getting zero sore throats. - previously I could barely avoid them recurring. I am so grateful to have definitely been freed from those virus infections." Regarding clinical trials, "you don't need to document the obvious" -Stanley B.

"I am so excited to be ordering your kits! Thank you :)" -Mark G.

"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 took up backpacking but didn't get very far because I was not strong enough to carry all the recommended gear. But adopting your gear with the training I'm doing now, I'm looking forward to a lot of fun backpacking this summer. I'm loving my just completed quilt and am working on my tarp and spitfire. Thank you for your kindness in sharing your experiences and your encouraging attitude." Kristin B., VT

"We have placed two orders for a trip to north Sweden, laponia. We have heard and read enough about your kits to be absolutely unconcerned about the high quality. Thank you so much for the opportunity to order such great stuff. We are completely amazed by your business." - Eddie and Helene P., Germany

"I have just ordered my second backpack from you. The first was for me, the second for my daughter. She is really looking forward to making her backpack, with my mum. I have finished my backpack and it is amazing, can't wait to use it as we walk. Te Araroa." -Jay J., NSW

"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 bought a Blood Cleaner for a friend and she is feeling so much better she ordered me one too." -Marc C.

"I recently completed my first project - a 1P quilt made with Light fabric and the extra layer. It looks great, especially considering its the first time I've used a sewing machine! I had ordered the extra layer knowing that my wife sleeps cold, and figuring that the quilt would catch her eye immediately. I guessed right, so have ordered a 1P quilt kit for myself. So if you've got a list of delighted customers, put us at the top! We'll be ordering the backpack kits next. Thanks for all your efforts." -Don H.

"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

"I just received the order placed earlier this week, and I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the good service, taking care to ensure your products are high quality and that orders exceed expectations. Thank you for the kits, which have enabled me to learn new skills and rethink what I really need in the outdoors. This order included a third backpack kit, for my growing son, 10, who will be taking the lead in sewing it this time. I would not be able to pass on this skill if not for encouraging people to "break out of the mold of imagined inabilities". It is greatly appreciated." Mike W., CA

"I received my order yesterday, and really appreciate your business! Before you made your products available I was always searching for the materials you recommended and settling for what I could find. Now when I order from you I get the very best!" George M.

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

"Hi Ray and Jenny, I've started using the Blood Cleaner again. Thanks so much. Its a great device." -Noah 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 truly believe your Blood Cleaner has helped me." -Cheri Y., Panama

"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., CA

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

"I have made your two person tarp, net and insulated hat and have found them to be excellent for use in the Australian climate. It gives a real sense of satisfaction to know that you made it yourself and results in no end of questions from fellow bushwalkers. They all want to know where it came from and how good it is. In Australia we don't have the range of materials available to us from local suppliers and your kits make it possible to get the best and lightest at a sensible price. Thanks for making my walking so much more enjoyable." Duncan C.

"I am 14 years old and have recently finished a tarp kit from you. The tarp works great and I plan to use it during my scout troop's 50 miler on the Appalachian Trail. I am going to make a backpack kit next. Thank you for your great products." Ben B.

"Hi Jenny and Ray, I just ordered your Blood Cleaner. I love your products (3 quilts, 3 books, 2 videos, a backpack and 2 stowbags), your instruction manuals and your website. I love your thorough and responsible planning and preparing for your trips and projects, your curiosity and love for nature (and each other) and that you share them with us. Thank you!" - Carsten, Germany

"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.

"I'm 33 years old and grew up in California and am a huge fan of your books. It was your Beyond Backpacking that gave me the knowledge, inspiration and confidence to do two thru-hikes, including the PCT and Arizona Trail. Thank you so much." -Daniel D.

"We just completed the PCT using your tarp, quilt and backpack. This was the first time we had really camped with a tarp and found it to be so versatile and simple. We used it in all kinds of weather and situations and every time it was put to the test, it passed with flying colours. The aspects of its simplicity, effectiveness, versatility and weight have halted any desires I have to search for the perfect shelter, as I think it is pretty close. We were so happy with it. This was also the first time we had used the quilts. Like the tarp, it did not cease to impress. At one camp, near Forrester Pass, we endured a significant dumping of snow and temperatures into the single digits (Fahrenheit). Aside from our solidly frozen shoes, we remained quite comfortably warm. The well thought-out design for the backpack was excellent. The pockets were great, directions on packing it from the AT video were excellent. You would probably be disgusted by how much food weight your poor little bags had to endure but they definitely stood up to whatever challenge we could throw at them, although there were a few patched and unpatched holes by the end. We would both like to send you guys are heart felt thanks as the gear was amazing." Ben D. and Kate M., Australia

"I have just ordered my second backpack from you. The first was for me, the second for my daughter. She is really looking forward to making her backpack, with my mum. Thanks for a great product, I have finished my backpack and it is amazing, can't wait to use it as we walk the Te Araroa." -Jay J., NSW Australia

"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.

"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

"I made Ray-Way quilt, tarp, and spitfire and used them on my 2010 AT thru hike, and loved how they performed! Thanks soo much for offering these kits!" -Jason T.

"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.

"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.

"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

"I watched the backpack making DVD. WOW!, great job, it is really clear, easy to follow and professionally done. I also finished my knife and sheath and am very pleased with how it came out. The steel in these blades seems to be particularly good" -Richard M.

"I am sewing the kits with great enjoyment and sense of accomplishment. I finished the stowbag, and am now working on the quilt. Planning to do the backpack next, then the tarp & net-tent. I think that your materials, designs and instructions are simply superb. I can hardly wait to get out in the Sierra this summer and use the new gear." Steve S.

"Ray and Jenny, THANK YOU for sharing your ideas, inspiration, experiences, advice, insight, philosophy, positive /limitless attitude, etc!! I have always enjoyed backpacking and what you call *elbow* room. However, as hard as it is to admit, I, like many others, have been disillusioned by marketers, advertisements, etc...until now! Early this year Molly and I decided to hike the John Muir Trail in August. We purchased 2 backpacks + the DVD, a Tarp, a Net-tent, a Quilt, 2 spools of thread and a sewing machine. Having never sewn before I was a little nervous, but your encouragement and the success of others gave me confidence. I completed my backpack, tarp, net-tent, quilt, several ditty bags, stwobags for the quilt, 2 umbrella modifications, and a hiker's friend filter. Molly sewed her backpack and dehydrated our homemade food for the trip. In retrospect we are really glad we got these made as they proved indispensable! We were very pleased with the performance of all the gear." Brian L.

"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 kits." -Eric B.

"I'm nearing completion of my Ray-Way backpacking kit. I'm enjoying the process and looking forward to using the backpack as soon as the trails open up again!" -Michael P.

"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

"We are building a robust collection here in our university archives. Our goal is to preserve photos, writings, sketches, documents, etc from influential brands and individuals in the outdoor products space. We would love to work with you to create the Ray Jardine Collection where your papers, writings, as well as any materials relating to the development of the Friend as well as your other countless contributions could be preserved, protected, and appreciated long term. Please let me know if you'd be interested" -Chase A. [Ray responds: apologetically: no, I'm not.]

"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

"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 wanted to buy the Backpack Kit for years now and finally bought a sewing machine to make it happen! Thank you so much" -Nigel G

"If you are considering hiking all or part of the PCT, I recommend you forget all that you know about hiking, especially if it is based on conventional backpacking knowledge. Study Ray's advice and you will learn things the easy way, rather than having to learn from your struggles like I did my first year on the trail." - Scott Williamson

"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

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

"I am really enjoying the process of building your kits. So far I have finished my first quilt and stuff bag. They are beautiful and I can't wait to try it out in two weeks on the Tamarak Trail. Thank you so much for your guidance and your very useful information." -Frank A., NY

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

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

"I'm super excited to get started sewing this 2-Person XL Quadratic Net-Tent together!" -Jeremy H.

"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

"Genius Tarp Design: I'm 66 and still backpack the Rockies. In large part, because of the concepts and approach that you put forth in Beyond Backpacking. In truth, you not only kept me in the game but your light weight concepts and make-your-own-gear approach lead a large portion of the backpacking community away from the dictates of big business to a more intimate experience with nature. I'm sure that you have witnessed big business's attempts to commercialize your ideas, to no avail. They don't get it. But imitation is the highest form of flattery. I have been thinking of writing and thanking you for years. Well done!" -Paul B.

"I enjoyed making your tarp, batwing, net-tent, stowbag, sleeping quilt and backpack very much! My fabulus 260 gram light backpack was pretty easy after making all the other stuff :-) I love it!!" Bianca H., Germany

"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 placed an order today for a 2600 ci backback. Thanks, I'm so excited to sew up my new pack." -Matt M., NJ

"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.

"Thanks for making the kits available--we were in the process of locating and pricing the materials ourselves, but yours are actually cheaper by far, and we live near a sizeable outdoor fabric retailer." Trent H.

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

"I've been a devotee of Ray-Way hiking since I read Beyond Backpacking in about 1999. A few years ago I ordered and sewed a two-person tarp, and I've used it on Outward Bound trips in Colorado these last two summers. It has worked really well! The tarp has even sheltered three people on two courses; I know it's not designed for that, but we were all fairly short, and didn't mind scooting close together when it rained. Thank you for the high quality kit, and for the inspiration over the years!" Priscilla H., CO

"Thank you so much Jenny and Ray, for assembling and shipping my new life on the trail! Your life of exciting adventure breathes vigor to my dreams." - Chris H.

"I have made your 2P tarp. I'm now ordering a net-tent. I think you and Jenny are amazing. Thanks you so much for sharing your enormous amount of knowledge. It keeps me sane when shopping for hiking gear." -Wendy W.

"Your kits bring a sense of satisfaction that one doesn't get from buying gear! I know you care about others' experiences, so thank you from the bottom of my heart." -Elleyne B.

"I just wanted to thank you for the excellent backpack. I bought your kit last year while I lived in the US for a short while. As I did not have a sewing machine, I made it fully by hand - it took some 2 weeks several hours per day, but it was fun for most of the time - I was constantly mixing inches with centimeters. I took it canyoning for 2 weeks and it behaved extremely well - just some minor scratches, although I never seriously believed that the pack would stand all the abuse it went through. Now I am also using the backpack for hand luggage while traveling, perfect size even more perfect weight, I am going shopping with it 35 kg (70-80 lbs) without problems and, of course, backpacking. This year I am taking the pack ice climbing and on several backpacking and canoe trips." -Atis R.

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

"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.

"Finished my 2200 Ray-Way pack and used it on the Finger Lakes Trail. My only regret is that I didn't discover your website or the Ray-Way sooner. Such light weight packing would have made backpacking so much more enjoyable when I was in my 20's! I love this pack. Thank you Ray and Jenny." -David D.

"I'm sure you get this all of the time, but I just adore you guys. Not only because of the amazing things you do or the awesome advice you give, but because you do all of these adventures together. If I could pick any two people in the world to meet, it would be you. May you have many more adventures to come!" C. P.

"I have been hauling camping gear around in my 10+ year old Ray-Way backpack and have enjoyed it so much. Now I use it to carry groceries from the local farmers market on my bicycle." John G., TX

"Hey guys! Just wanted to say I am a huge fan! I am looking to order some stuff to Ottawa, Ontario. I would love to use some of your products as I hike the West Coast trail and other things during the summer." -Frank H., Ontario

"This is to let you know that I am forever grateful for what you have done for me, and always feel blessed that because of you my life was saved! I am such a lucky person coming across your path. God Bless both of you." -Sherry B.

"I just finished my AT thru hike and I am so glad I took the time to read "Trail Life" and make my backpack, quilt, and tarp with your instructions. This was my first backpacking trip ever and I left for it feeling prepared for anything with my 12lb base weight, and I truly enjoyed the whole experience. Thank you!!!" - Elisa Brown

"I have such a large order to place that I cannot place it over your order form. Can you send me a paypal invoice or a link where I can enter my credit card?" -Jane A., Switzerland

"I use Ray-Way camping gear on bike tours. I am really proud of my backpack! Thank you!" -Francois L., Québec

"I have to say again Ray and Jenny, how much I love using my 2200 Ray-Way backpack." -David DeL.

"I have ordered eight backpacks for gifts and extras for if friends go hiking with me. Am ordering four more now. Thanks so much for the ideas and kits, Ray and Jenny!" -Paul W.

After a year and a half of training and preparations, we went to Antarctica. Starting from near the coast, we skied 57 days to the South Pole. Along the way encountered fierce winds, ultra cold temperatures, and rough ice. We dragged our gear behind us in sleds containing enough food for a month. At the half-way point we resupplied with a food drop. Reaching the South Pole in another month, we flew back to the starting point.

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.

After completing two thru-hikes of the Appalachian Trail, Ray cycled across the country, coast to coast, generally following the "TransAmerica Trail" Cycling Route. Peddling thorough 11 states, the many and often-steep hills were challenging, but the scenery along this route was very beautiful. 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.

Climbing Huascaran

Climbing Nevado Climbing Huascaran, Peru's highest at 22,205' in 1969. I took a month's leave from my job as an aerospace engineer to join a mountain climbing expedition to the Peruvian Andes.

With Gene and Betsy White, Mark Bostwick, and John Larson.

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
Canada to Mexico thru Idaho, Utah, Arizona
63 days, 2,000 miles

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).

Argentina Adventures
