Trail Breakfast Nothing beats getting up extremely early before the rest of the world wakes up, hitting the trail and sitting on top of the world, on a summit, watching the sun come up....Well maybe a Fresh Breakfast on top of the summit watching the sun rise.   Here is how I make a delicious breakfast on the trail
Forecasting Weather (Clouds) “There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.” – Sir Rannulph Fiennes    So your out on the trail, hiking a multi day trek across many miles.. Sure you have brought all the gear you need to withstand anything and hike on...but wouldn't it be nice to leave behind that weather band radio and forecast your own weather, right there on the trail.....All one has to do is look to the sky for the answers... 
CAIRN on the Ipad A revolution in digital consumption   We here @ CAIRN are addicted to our iphones, and when we heard about Appl'es ipad, the first thing that came to our minds, was an amazing digital magazine experience. if you think the ipad and kindle have begun to revolutionize ebooks, just wait until the magazine industry takes foot.  
CAIRN talk (Forums)   per user request: CAIRN has launched CAIRN talk, its a nifty difty (who says that?) integrated Forums with User Blogs, so now we can talk amongst ourselves about our passions, (does that sound awkward?) Registration is Free, and you can write your own gear reviews, talk about anything at the trail head, and even post your own Trail Jounals/Trip Reports, and or Blogs all in one nifty difty (there it is again...what is that) spot  http://drafternoon.com/talk/  

What is CAIRN?

CAIRN is a hiking/backpacking Outdoor website - because the worst day on the trail is still better than a day in the office
