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

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

"I 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

"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 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 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 decided to try to assemble your deluxe quilt kit on a long weekend. By the second night I was sleeping under it! (Quite comfy, by the way.) The directions were clear, the materials outstanding, and the work involved was not that difficult, despite tri-focals and an el-cheapo sewing machine. I want to thank you for making this wonderful project possible. I am literally a happy camper!!" -Greg D.

"Would love to meet you two but understand privacy. Highest respect!" -David M.

"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.

"By sewing my own gear from the kits that you have meticulously designed and refined, I not only now have gear that is of the highest caliber but I also now have the skills to make this gear myself." David d.

"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

"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.

"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 ordered the quilt kit last month. What a boost of confidence your clear instructions gave me! I felt like a sewing expert (once I remembered how to thread the machine). I'm looking forward to another fun sewing adventure with the tarp and net-tent kits. Thank you." -NM

"I've enjoyed making your kits: seven backpacks, four tarps, two bat wings, and three quilts, so far." - Craig H.

"I can't say enough good things about your Ray-Way designs! I've been able to go out on trips once a month all last year, call them "microadventures" and plan to do the same this year. Even in the dead of winter up just shy of the Arctic Circle, Ray-Way gear works great! Cheers Ray and Jenny for the awesomeness of your designs!!!" -James G.

"I have been an ultra light hiker for years and have purchased many of your kits. I would like to thank you for all of your time and expertise. I have been exceptionally pleased with them." -Scot F.

"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.

"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 have bought several of your kits and found them to be excellent!" -Andrew B.

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

"I just want to say thanks for the awesome tarp kit. I had a wonderful dry night despite the rain. Your Trail Life book has so many great tips to offer. A huge thanks to you!" -Valerie A., UK

"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.]

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

"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

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

"My package arrived this afternoon! Thanks again for the unmatched customer service and fast shipping. I will definitely recommend you to friends and family!" Joe W., TN

"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.

"I am enjoying making my 2800 cu in. Backpack." -Anthony J.

"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.

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

"Hi Jenny and Ray, just finished your backpack kit and tested it on Mallorca / GR221 a few days. It performed excellent without a hip belt. My next project is to sew a quilt." Andreas L., Germany

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

"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.

"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 completed my 2 person split-zip quilt kit, my third, this time using one layer of Woodland. My wife and I tried it out this weekend on a 2 day mountain bike-packing trip. It was absolutely perfect! We stayed comfortable and dry under our Ray Way tarp and Net-Tent as temps dropped from a humid 85F to a breezy 60F during the over night pop-up thunderstorms. Next on the list is completion of our new 2,200 in3 Ray Way packs that should work extremely well for our mountain bike-pack trips. Thanks for making these kits and your knowledge available!" Kerry R., MI

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

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

"I hiked the AT with my son, and we used your back packs and quilts I made almost 10 yrs ago. The gear the system the philosophy, everything worked." -Rich D., IN

"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

"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.

"We sewed like fiends for a month--two backpacks, a sleeping quilt, tarp, and net tent along with stowbags--and then took the gear on a five-day alpine trek. Everything worked so well that it was hard not to evangelize Ray-Way to our friends, who may have found our enthusiasm a little tiresome (they were carrying considerably more weight). Thanks for the excellent video guidance and the paper instructions as well as for writing Trail Life and The Tarp Book. We cite you constantly! We can hardly wait to go on our next trip . . . thanks for re-igniting our passion for trail life." -Catherine & Dan, BC Canada

"I just received Backpack Kit today!!!! Very very very excited! Thank you so much!!!" -Shonosuke K., Japan

"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.

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

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

"We are very happy with the practicality and performance of our 2 Ray-Way backpacks, 2 quilts, tarp, net tent and batwing." -Adrian, UK

"I've ordered tarps, sleeping quilts, knives and books in the past, starting in 2006. I'm now making your equipment for a friend. Thanks for your continued service." -Stewart C.

"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.

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

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

"I just made a second quilt, this one with extra insulation for winter camping, and had one of the coziest nights ever at bitingly cold Joshua Tree over the weekend. This was under a tarp, while wearing the insulated hat. A Ray-Way triumvirate!" -Scott G.

"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.

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

"I've been sewing up a storm with all the stay at home time. I'm looking forward to using all my new Ray-Way gear later this year." -Mark P.

"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.

"Just ordered Trail Life book and the Tarp Book Essential. Cannot wait to read them. Thank you so much!" -Martha D.

"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.

"I want to thank you for providing the kits. I put faith in your tarp (and quilt) and it paid off. Using it for the first time ever I was caught in an amazing thunderstorm. My buddies had their fancy ultralight tents, and my tarp seemed out of place. But I was to find out why the tarp is much more beneficial. During the amazing lighting and thunderstorm my friends only were able to witness the storm from inside/underneath their rainflys. I was able to witness the beauty of the storm as it lit the forest up. Also the combination of two eliminated the condensation that both my friends tents were doused in. Thanks." Vincent F., AZ

"I bought your tarp and backpack kits a few years ago, and am so happy with both." -Noah, ME

"On the hundred mile wilderness, Maine AT, I carried my 2800 Ray-Way pack plus tarp, spitfire, and quilt (and plenty of food :). I am really proud of how beautifully the kits came out. But more importantly they made my successful completion of hike possible. I love the feeling of freedom your light weight kits have given me. I also love how the system allows me to go from hiking to camping in minutes. The simplicity of Ray's roving hitch really makes setting up the tarp a breeze. The illustrated guide to pitching the tarp in the TBE has really improved my pitching skills. I feel confident in my ability to complete longer treks." - John B.

"Looking forward to getting order (Quilt Kit, Quilt Stowbag kit, Backpack Kit, Backpack Pocket Kit, Backpack DVD, Thread) My niece loves the backpack and quilt she made!" -Susan G.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"I LOVE my Ray-Way quilt and have ordered another quilt kit for my sis for Christmas." -Deborah H.

"I really admire how you and Ray live your lives. And as a rock climbing engineer, Ray has been one of my heroes for many years. I even used spring loaded camming devices as the subject of a paper in engineering school. Thanks, also, for sharing your knowledge on lightweight backpacking. I’m grateful for all that you two have done to make backpacking more enjoyable." -Jason 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.

"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."

"Jenny: I have made 3 different sizes of your Ray-Way backpack, as well as the tarp, a batwing, the Spitfire, 3 different weights of quilts, the sleeping pad and several stowbags. I happily used my Ray-Way gear over 4 summer sections to finish the AT. I especially loved being able to survey my surroundings as I lay in my comfy quilt in the twilight and the dawn, instead of being stuck inside a fully enclosed tent. So when placing an order today, and reading your narrative of your solo thru-hike on the AT, I suddenly realized that we met! We had a nice riverside chat, and I remember your highly appropriate trail name and your backpack, but I didn't realize that you were Jenny. We hiked a bit, but I sent you on your way because of your faster pace. Your 5 months of training really served you well. I’m so glad I got to meet you! Congratulations on your highly successful adventure." -Ruthless (Jenny replies: Thank you for your Ray-Way Products order, and sending the photos from the AT. I remember that day very well when we met at the Marble Brook. It was fun talking with you and we hiked together maybe a mile. Have a great CT trek!)

"Ray, I Just found a picture of you and me, taken not far from Telluride. We traversed an ice field where you fell through. I was fortunate enough to help pull you out, and I got close enough to see all that darkness beneath. I think of you often, Ray. You changed my life. I hope we’ll get a chance to meet up before too long. All my very best to you and Jenny." -Chard D.

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

"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

"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

Given Ray's engineering background, the Blood Cleaner is more credible than units from fly by night operators." - Frank V., ID

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

"The careful explanations and innovative approach of your "Sharpening The Ray-Way Knife" are wonderful and much appreciated." - Karl K., NC

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

"I'm ordering more Trail Life books to give to friends...appreciate your sharing your trail-learned knowledge...I'm incorporating more of it all the time. Your Trail Life book is a great value." - M. Feltis

"I truly believe your Blood Cleaner has helped me." -Cheri Y., Panama

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

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

"I have made your backpack, tarp and net tent, 2 sleeping quilts, several stuff sacks, sleeping hat, 2 insulated hats, trail life, the tarp book; I love them all. I just ordered the shell pants and shorts. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. You have really helped me." -Frank A.

"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.

"Thanks for the quick and helpful response. Can’t wait to dig into all of it! (Trail Life, Tarp Book Essential, and AT Gear Video) Much appreciated." -Dodge

"I can't wait to start working on my Tarp and Spitfire Kits!" -Patrick M.

"Thank you for sharing your journey around the world! I really enjoyed it. Now when I am working on my quilt I can have a better appreciation of the wonderful people who designed it." - David B.

"I noticed a recent thru hike for Jenny on the website, congrats! I am quite jealous." -Matthew Z.

"Yesterday I made a purchase for one of your backpacks (the 2600 size). I will be using the pack to trek from France to northwestern Spain (Santiago de Compostella)." -Richard S., France

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

"I'm so proud of what I accomplish with the Ray-Way projects. I'm learning a lot, sewing them. Sometimes I get so excited that I get hasty and make an error, but all-in-all, it's been a great ride." -Casey A.

"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

"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.

"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 love these projects." Nick R.

"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.

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

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

I just ordered two quilt kits for my kiddos. I'm being bombarded with excited "when are we going to make them?" questions." -Joe C.

"I just received my Quilt Kit in the mail. Thank you for making these kits available. I've enjoyed making them and using the gear every time." -Aika M.

"I cannot express in words how excited I am to be almost completely finished with my first quilt! I am so grateful and really appreciate what you provide for facilitating make-your-own lightweight, quality quilts (and backpacks are next). I can't wait to utilize so many more of your products." -Stefanie K.

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

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

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

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

"After doing a 50 mile slog through Kings Canyon in California with my son's scout team, I wanted to try lighter weight backpacking gear. The thought of making it myself with your kits intrigued me. My wife got me started sewing the 2-man tarp on her sewing machine. I heard her laughing and telling my daughter that I was actually sewing. The instructions provided told me everything I needed to know. My son and I tested the tarp out tonight in the backyard with a hose. It's water tight and ready to go! I'm starting the backpack next." -Steve S.

"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.

"I have been contemplating making a Ray-Way backpack for sometime and am very excited as I finally ordered the kit! Jenny I really enjoyed reading about your adventures on the AT trail, it sounds like a wonderful adventure, Thanks for posting." -Michaela CP.

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

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

"The make it yourself style you two describe on your website has inspired me. I’ve been bothered by today’s consumerism and the writing on your website struck a chord in me. And I have to thank you, Ray, cams have been saving my friends lives and my life for a while now. Your design started it all. Thank you for the curiosity and drive to find better solutions." -Devon M.

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

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

"I purchased a bunch of gear from y'all this summer, and was on a weeklong solo trip in the Colorado Rockies and tested the tarp, sleeping hat, and shell pants. They all worked flawlessly. This was my first trip using a tarp and I loved feeling so much less separated from nature than with a tent. Having my wet gear actually dry overnight due to the increased ventilation vs. a tent was awesome. One night had high winds (~30mph gusts) and a few inches of snowfall, and the tarp held up great. Thank you! I also bought a copy of "Trail Life" and it has been invaluable as I work to lighten my pack load and increase my outdoor enjoyment. An absolute treasure trove of knowledge." -John M.

"My sewing is going along extremely well. Now I look back and realize my fear of sewing was only what you call *lack of familiarity*. I sure am glad I'm a little more familiar now. Sewing is fun, and your Ray-Way kits are pure magic! Everything falls into place beautifully, one stitch at a time. Thank you Ray and Jenny, your teachings are truly priceless." Will L.

"I hiked the John Muir and High Sierra Trails, and once again I used my Ray-Way backpack, tarp, and quilt. The larger Ray-Way backpack handled the large bear can and 8 days of food. The 2-layer Alpine quilt was plenty warm. The tarp was as versatile as ever, in wind and rain, tight spots and wide, with trees or with sticks, always giving me the feeling of being outside while still being well sheltered. Thanks again for encouraging people to develop new skills and seek new adventures." -Mike W.

"Our ($800) order is large because we figured we might as well just jump into the Ray-way with both feet. It is perhaps a bit rash to order everything at once, but we've read through your website thoroughly and from what we've read, to use the Ray-way backpacks we need to pare down our shelter and sleeping bags, so we want to go ahead with the whole deal and try it out as it was meant to be used. I don't anticipate any trouble with the sewing. And your testimonials are numerous and highly positive, so we are pretty confident! We're looking forward to getting started on the sewing and to using our new lightweight gear on the next adventure!" -Catherine & Dan 0., BC

"Hey Ray & Jenny, The last Ray-Way backpack I made has done over 10,000 miles, but I need a new one. I still have my old video for making the pack, hopefully it still applies to the one I ordered here. Still the best backpack out there!" Scott Williamson, CA

"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.

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 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

"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.

"My 1st quilt was finished last weekend - 5 more to go for family, 2 kits arrived today. Slept in mine for 2 nights @ 36'F - lovely! Perfect instructions." -Cassi Y.

"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 have finished construction of the Ray-Way Backpack, and love it! And I read your book about your AT thru-hike. Fascinating and very insightful. Thanks again for all your insight and seriously great products." -Jason D.

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.

22 days, 22,205'

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. I was super active in the outdoors before, as a proficient climber and mountaineer, but this was the trip that started my lifestyle as a full time adventurer. 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
