    Hitting The Trail? Stylish Camping Gear For Outdoorsy ...

    Camping may not be everyone's idea of a fun time, but there's a lot of adventure in store with a little trip in the great outdoors. It's nice to get away from the troubles of work and home, and while hitting the pool or beach is an obvious oasis to your summer stress, serenity may be found in a bit of fresh air! It's a great way to see some sights while getting in shape. Get out to a park or forest preserve and try your hand at some trails, or, if you're a rebel, skip the trails and forge your own. While the ax men and lumberjacks of the forest may sport frumpy bibs, coveralls and checkers, you should know you can still get down to earth in style. Hot or cold, rain or shine, there's enough out there to take care of you -- even the high maintenance chicks. Take a peek at some ways you can turn the trail into a runway -- and maybe even catch the attention of a super-buff trail guide, too!

    They're here! Fjallraven Kanken mini backpacks! Try saying that name three times fast! Fjallraven is a Swedish company that makes durable all-purpose backpacks and the Kanken minis are especially cute because... well, they're mini! They come in a variety of colors so you can pick your favorite and they have an old school 90's feel that harks back to those elementary school days. Just remember, it's not cool unless you wear your straps on only one shoulder! The Kanken Minis hold a notebook, a few textbooks and a lunch perfectly so bring the little guy with you to school! Fjallraven is actually the Swedish word for "arctic fox" which is also the brand's logo. It was named after the arctic fox because they are known for surviving the harsh Swedish winters. These bags, made of vinylon, can also withstand some heavy handling. These petite accessories are equipped with front reflectors, a detachable inner seat pocket and a side pocket as well. The Fjallraven Kanken Mini holds exactly what you need for a hike or camping excursion and is easy to manage and access. So whatever your everyday activities consist of, pack it up and take it with you in style!


    Price: $75.00
    Who Found It: idabone was first to add the Fjallraven Kanken Mini Backpack to the Hive.

    Can't Afford to Travel? Take a Vacation in Your Own City!

    These days, people are looking to get away but may not be able to justify buying a plane ticket, a room at a pricey hotel, or even a couple of extra tanks of gas for a road trip. That being said, why not take a vacation without even leaving your city? It's easier than you might think. You often don't do the touristy things in your own town, and this is your chance! If you're an outdoorsy person, spend a day at your local indoor rock climbing gym or learn to surf. Grab a picnic basket full of goodies and head to your local park. You could even make your own home into a campsite by setting up sleeping bags in your living room and making s'mores. If you normally like to completely relax on your vacations, leave your cell phone at home and book yourself a day at the spa. Or instead of cooking dinner, go out to a great restaurant you haven't tried or browse the Lonely Planet guide for your own city and explore! The possibilities are endless. Check out the SLIDESHOW and get to it!
