10/19/2015 Backpacking Genius › Reviews | 0 comments
The North Face Ultra Fastpack Mid Gore-Tex is the reason we make wishes when we're blowing out birthday candles or if we see a shooting star. It doesn't happen often but every now and then wishes do come true. Like the time I wished for a light weight shoe with great ankle support that would be perfect for knocking out some long hikes but still be plenty fast on the trail.

The thing I love about running is how accessible and relatively inexpensive it is. Any of us can open our front door and go for a run.

While it probably won't set any box office records, Meru has been high on my list of must see summer movies.
