Backpacker Magazine
Get Out More Tour 2015
Guess who got to represent Backpacker Magazine on their 2015 Get Out More Tour? These Dirty Turtles! For the summer of 2015 we lived our dream job--spending the summer traveling the country, camping, hiking, testing gear, leading backpacking seminars and sharing our love and passion for the outdoors. From March to October we visited 60 retail locations throughout the lower 48 states along with 5 outdoor festivals. Below is recap of our summer of adventure!
