LOOT
Outside Essentials, To Go
Gear:
A trip up the mountain shouldn't devolve into a quest for fire. That's why you might consider packing Colibri's Xtreme lighter on your next ascent. A wind-resistant electric ignition and adjustable butane fuel mix make the Xtreme good to go up to 15,000 feet—well beyond the death zone for most lighters. $100; 800-556-7354.

Guide:


Volcanoes in America's National Parks gives up the goods on thermal areas and calderas in 31 vulcan-themed parks and monuments, from Alaska's grumbling Redoubt Volcano to the ancient lava flows at Idaho's Craters of the Moon National Monument. $25; 800-233-4830; www.wwnorton.com.

Video:
In Alpine Mountaineering on Mount Rainier, Ed Viesturs and other veteran alpinists invade your living room to walk you through high-altitude basics such as crampon technique, self-arrest, and the essential rest step, while tackling one of the toughest endurance climbs in the Lower 48. $20; 360-569-2992; www.summitsmedia.com.
