BioLite Releases Fifth-Year-Anniversary Birthday Bundle for the Off-Grid Camper

Way back in 2013, we introduced our readers to the Biolite CampStove as one of our top picks for basic camping essentials. At the time, Biolite was one of the first camp stoves on the market to move away from small propane canisters as fuel and instead turned to natural ground-litter. Powered by nothing more than sticks and twigs found at your campsite, Biolite’s CampStove provided the first-real opportunity to go completely off grid without needing any sort of fossil fuel to cook your camp food. The best part though, was the addition of a thermo-electric generator, allowing you to charge up your phone or other device using the built-in storage battery that charges itself with the heat from the burning fuel.

In the five years since Biolite launched, they have expanded their cooking scope from just camping gear to other options, including the Biolite BaseCamp stove, perfect for larger camp gatherings or the patio, a pizza dome to create wood-fired pizzas right in your own backyard, and even an Energy Bundle which includes a portable solar panel, lights, and, of course, a Biolite CampStove.

And now, to celebrate Biolite’s fifth anniversary, the company has announced their Birthday Bundle. Featuring a CampStove 2, a Kettlepot, a free CoffeePress and limited edition Bioloite x Brooklyn Roasting Co. coffee packet. Erica Rosen, Biolite’s Direcotr of Marketing acknowledged, “Coffee, specifically Brooklyn Roasting Company coffee, is an unofficial member of the Biolite team. it took a lot of late nights and early mornings to get the first CampStove off the ground and BRC has been fueling us since Day one. They even took us in during Hurricane Sandy when our office was knocked out. It seemed only fitting that we celebrate this milestone year with a coffee we know and love and package it in a ready-to-go format for the outdoors.”

It's much better to have a chainsaw ready in your arsenal of power tools than to scramble to get one when you need it. You may want to take advantage of this offer from Walmart: a $30 discount on the Untimaty 6-inch Cordless Chainsaw that halves its price from $60 to just $30. That's an incredibly affordable price, but you're going to have to hurry with your purchase if you want the savings because there's no telling how much time is remaining before stock runs out.

This popular Great Smoky Mountains trail will be closed for 18 months — where to hike instead
You won't see this Great Smoky Mountains Favorite for another 18 months. Here's why.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Laurel Falls Trail is a popular destination at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Seeing over 300,000 hikers annually, it's one of the park's most iconic trails. While Gatlinburg was largely spared by Hurricane Helene, Laurel Falls Trail has become unsafe due to loose, broken pavement and other safety hazards. This is largely because the trail hasn't been repaved at all since the trail was made in 1963. The National Park Service is committed to the safety of this trail, so the park has funded a rehabilitation project to give Laurel Falls Trail a well-deserved makeover.

This project will be extensive. The National Park Service reports that they will be making huge upgrades to the trailhead parking area, expanding it by about fifty parking spaces and adding a designated pathway with a guardrail to connect pedestrians to the trailhead. They will also be repaving all of the trails and installing new educational signage along the way to provide wayfinding, bear safety, and Leave No Trace guidance.

How to sharpen a knife for camping: The ultimate guide

One of the most reached-for camping tools in my pocket is definitely my camping knife. I wouldn't dream of going camping without it, just because it's one of the most useful tools to have. Handy for any number of tasks, I use my camping knife for food prep, making kindling for a fire, and even first aid.

But when your camping knife is blunt, it can easily become a danger. While it might seem safer to have a less-pointy object around the camp, having a blunt camping knife can cause all kinds of problems like crushing and tearing instead of slicing cleanly. The amount of force you'll need to do the job could easily send you to the emergency room, so here's everything you need to know about how to sharpen a knife for camping.
