A tent designed for you and another to take backpacking, the Maxfield 2 is built for spring, summer, and fall outdoor activities. It’s designed with a super lightweight structure, but with every kind of seasonal weather in mind. It’s roomy and cozy comfortable inside, but also has innovative packability and super smart storage. The brand has added sizeable vestibules to maximize your equipment storage, giving you way more room to move, sleep, and live in the interior space. And the company put just as much thought into the fabrics. It’s built in sil-nylon and contains premium aluminum hardware so that you’ll have total reliability, without ever having to sacrifice weight. You can take it anywhere.

Our favorite aspects of this tent are how it’s at once tough, breathable, and lightweight. It’s made with a mesh top that allows air in and out but still allows privacy. On the bottom, there’s a ripstop material that you’ll find will stand up to almost anything, while not adding too much cumbersome weight to the tent.

It’s really easy to pack up, and set up, too. The Maxfield 2 does away with a traditional tent sack, which can add extra weight and be frustrating to pack, too. Instead, it uses a revolutionary roll style stuff sack that lets you simply put the tent parts on to the fabric, roll them up, clasp it by connecting the straps and then synch it tighter. When you’re setting up, the reverse gives you an easy-access mat with everything you need to pitch your tent.

Once you get inside, you’ll be blown away by how much room this tent creates. There’s tons of room for storage. The interior is designed with mesh pockets where you can store your supplies, especially those you’ll need for easy access, like a flashlight, snacks, your tech gear, and maps. There’s also a multi-point front vestibule that establishes a large storage area, without blocking the tent’s “front door.” And then there are the three port ventilation openings which can be used to keep you cool and dry by limiting humidity and reducing condensation.

This tent is a dream to hike and camp with; it’s super versatile because its weight is only 4 pounds 3 ounces. We’ve seen laptops heavier than that. Packed up, it measures all of 5.5 inches by 19 inches, but once it’s set up, its peak height is 42 inches and the interior space measures 84 inches by 51 inches; plenty of room for two, and all your stuff.

As travel options are limited, camping, hiking and backpacking have become great escapes that everyone can take. A 2-person tent is an amazing access point to the great outdoors, so check out the Prime Day tent deals. While supplies last, you can get

Going to the Smoky Mountains in June? Watch out for these closures
Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Repairs and renovations at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park continue as the National Park Service continues to prepare the mountains for the 2025 summer season. If you're planning on visiting the Smokies in June, watch out for these spring closures that could add additional travel time to your trip.

First, off, let's look at the closures affecting sections of Little River Road. The first one will take place from June 3rd through 4th, from 7:00 a.m. to noon. During this time, there will be no direct travel from Townsend Wye to Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area, so visitors will need to detour through Wears Valley Road (US 321) between Townsend and Line Springs Road.

This simple camping trick keeps bugs away without harsh chemicals
Looking to keep the bugs away with a natural solution? Try sage
Camping around a fire

Modern chemical bug repellents, while generally safe, can be a great way to keep away those pesky mosquitoes. However, these repellants often contain harsh chemicals, such as DEET, picaridin, and permethrin, which have been known to cause skin irritation risks, poison water sources, or even be toxic to wildlife. The NIH reports that these chemical repellents are not safe for public health and should be used with caution. Natural bug repellents like tea tree oil work great when diluted and sprayed onto skin, but what can you do to keep the bugs away from your campsite? Here's my sage advice for saying "shoo fly, don't bother me."
Use sage to keep the bugs away

Sage is a common herb that acts as a natural bug repellent due to several compounds such as camphor, 8-cineole, and thujone, which produce a strong aroma that repels insects by overwhelming their sensory systems. It has an herbaceous aroma that's both strong and earthy, and can often be slightly peppery or woody in scent. Personally, I find it to be more pleasant than tea tree oil, so it can be a great alternative.

What type of golf ball should you use? The simple breakdown every new golfer needs
Here are the three major kinds of golf balls and which one is right for you
A golf ball sitting in grass.

When you're just getting started with golf, you may not realize that there are several different kinds of golf balls, each tailored for a specific skill level, swing speed, or other priorities. The choices can be overwhelming, but they boil down to three kinds: two piece, three piece, and four piece. So now you might be wondering, what golf ball should I use? In this guide, we're going to discuss the three major kinds of golf balls and how to choose the best one for you.

When choosing a golf ball, you'll first need to assess your skill level, swing speed, priorities for distance control, materials, and budget. These five factors aren't the only things to consider, but they will get you to a great starting point. The key is to understand the construction and performance characteristics of each golf ball. In a nutshell, two-piece, also known as low-compression balls, prioritize distance and are great for beginners. Three-piece golf balls have better control for more intermediate players, while still giving you great distance. And lastly, the four-piece golf balls, or high-compression balls, are perfect for advanced players for their precision. Here's the breakdown:
Two-piece golf balls
