We lost an hour, got teased with consecutive days over 60 degrees; spring is more or less here and everyone is ready to start removing layers. Just feeling the sock-less liberty of air on my ankles last weekend was enough to start looking forward to rafting trips in three months time.

Satisfy your renewed itch for adventure. Start looking at maps of the Portland wilderness and beyond, and stock up on deals like these before camping season prices return as well.

Set Of 3 Waterproof Dry Bags By Freegrace

I'm a child of the Umpqua Valley, where floating down the river was a daily past time done with minor preparation. That hinged on the fact that someone always brought one of these to protect our sunflower seeds, disposable cameras, and cannabis accoutrements. This $11 3-pack includes a 5L bag with a strap to wear while hiking or kayaking, and two smaller pouches for items like a phone and vape pens.
