Z5IIC Camera
$1,400.00
The “C” in the new Nikon Z5IIC stands for “casual” and incorporates scene modes for the first time in any Nikon full-frame camera. Toggle the camera to a scene and the camera does the rest—night, portrait or any of its 15 modes. Unlike a typical point-and-shoot this is a full-frame mirrorless camera with a 24.5 C-MOS sensor and the depth and clarity provided by the EXPEED 7 image processing engine – the same processor used on the brand’s flagship Z9. The biggest bonus is access to Nikon’s massive lens library, from current Z-series to historic F lenses back to 1967. Price is for the body only, multiple options are available with various lenses and accessories.

Black Diamond
Magnetron Carabiner
$54.95
Most classic locking climbing carabiners have two innate design flaws. The gate closes against a hooked beak that tends to catch the rope. And, typically, you have to thread them shut, too. Black Diamond’s latest Magnetron is better. As its name suggests, it uses magnets both at the hookless nose and for the sliders on either side of the gate, and there’s no hook. Instead, the magnets instantly fasten the lock shut, requiring no secondary action. That saves you energy during a taxing climb. Another bonus: the Magnetron is made of 25% pre-consumer recycled aluminum, so manufacturing them burns less carbon.

Opinel
Opinel No. 8 National Parks Guide Series
$50.00
Opinel is a legendary knifemaker founded in 1890 in the French Alps. Even if you don’t think you “know” Opinel, you probably actually do. Their No. 8 consists of a wood handle carved entirely from a single piece of certified, sustainably harvested beech, a simple, circular metal lockring and a steel blade. Opinels have starred in television series and films like the French Connection II, and now Opinel has commissioned a limited National Parks Guide Series, featuring Yellowstone, Great Smoky Mountains and the Grand Canyon as envisioned through the eyes of local artists. The knife artwork is unique, a bit whimsical and we love that it comes with an accompanying Wildsam field guide to each park. It’s a fun tribute; plus, a portion of every sale goes to Leave No Trace.
