Photo Of The Day: Sunset After Nemo

by Jessica Marati on

Last week, Winter Storm Nemo battered the Eastern seaboard of the United States with torrential snow and sleet, not to mention a bitter cold freeze that lasts to this day.

In the calm after the storm, Flickr user Peter Rood captured this image of a stunning sunset over Boston, one of the cities hit worst by the storm. Where Mother Nature wreaks havoc, she can also bring extraordinary beauty.

Morpho AR Tent: No Poles Needed

by Justin Glow on

Tent manufacturer NEMO has been developing their air-supported backpacking tents for several years now, and they’ve recently released the Morpho AR. Although a bit on the pricey side (MSRP $395 USD), the Morpho AR is supported by a technology they call “airbeams” which are capable of withstanding twice as much force as standard aluminum poles. It’s a cinch to setup, too. An included foot pedal will get you a fully erected tent in under 45 seconds. But if you’re conserving space, the integrated pump will do the job in under 90 seconds. Check out a video of the tent after the jump. [via]
