Every June 14th, we celebrate National Bourbon Day. It\u2019s a day when we get to look back at the history of America\u2019s \u201cnative\u201d spirit and take a moment to really appreciate what\u2019s in our glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, we discuss the origin of the day while providing a bit of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey history. We\u2019ll also provide you with a few of our favorite old-fashioned cocktail recipes so that you can enjoy the day in the best way possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bourbon\u2019s origins trace back to the westward migration of settlers from the original colonies during the 18th and 19th centuries. These settlers included Scots-Irish descendants, whose ancestors had invented Scotch and Irish whiskies, as well as English, Welsh, German, and French settlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From there, multiple whiskey families emerged to shape the entire history of whiskey and bourbon. Two of those families that have direct ties to Limestone Branch Distillery are the Beams and the Dants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stephen Beam opened Limestone Branch Distillery in 2011 with the goal of crafting the finest spirits in small batches. He is a seventh-generation distiller with a history of distilling on both sides of his family\u2014Beam (on his father\u2019s side) and Dant (on his mother\u2019s side).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacob Beam, Stephen\u2019s great-great-uncle, was a farmer who sold his first barrels of corn whiskey, called Old Jake Beam around 1795.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seven generations later, that tradition continues with Limestone Branch Distillery and Yellowstone Bourbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
National Bourbon Day is a great way to honor that tradition. Every year it\u2019s celebrated on June 14th, which is said to be the anniversary of the day bourbon was first distilled in 1789.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much like drinking your bourbon and whiskey, you can do it however you want. For us, we like to gather with friends and family, maybe walk around Limestone Branch Distillery, remember those who came before us, and, of course, have a wonderful drink in hand while we do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The exact origins of the Old Fashioned are debated, but the prevailing story is that this iconic drink began being served in the early 1800s. Its name emerged in the mid-1800s as a reaction to the increasingly complex cocktails of the time, which included ingredients like Chartreuse, Absinthe, and Curacao. Traditionalists began asking for a cocktail made in the old-fashioned style\u2014simple and straightforward with just spirit, sugar, water, and bitters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prohibition brought significant changes to the cocktail scene, particularly with the quality of available spirits, which were often harsh due to illegal production methods. To mask these rough edges, bartenders started adding fruit to the Old Fashioned. In the Midwest, muddled orange and cherry became common additions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After Prohibition ended, the quality of spirits improved, allowing the Old Fashioned to return to its roots of showcasing good quality Bourbon or Rye. Interestingly, whiskey was not always the default spirit for an Old Fashioned. When first referenced in the early 1800s, the Old Fashioned was not tied to a specific spirit but was a style of cocktail where the base spirit could be whiskey, gin, or even mezcal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many became familiar with the old-fashioned thanks to it being the drink of choice of Don Draper in the popular series, Mad Men<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many bartenders now view the Old Fashioned as a basic formula that can be adapted to create endless variations. This adaptability is part of what makes it an enduring favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone Bourbon, distinguished by its rich palate and Kentucky heritage, is the ideal foundation for crafting the perfect Old Fashioned. Here\u2019s how to bring this beloved classic to life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to try something different, mix up one of the following instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a twist of autumn warmth to your glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Repeat the steps of the classic Old Fashioned, substituting sugar with maple syrup and adding smoke to your glass for extra complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Infuse your drink with the zest of citrus and spice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow the original procedure, introducing the soaked sugar cube and Angostura orange bitters for a spicy, citrusy undertone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Celebrating National Bourbon Day with Yellowstone Bourbon invites you into a world of tradition enriched with modern twists. Whether you lean towards the classic Old Fashioned or venture into newer variations, each sip is a toast to the enduring legacy of bourbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find Yellowstone Bourbon near you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And if you really want to spend the day in the best way possible, join us at Limestone Branch Distillery<\/a> to learn more about America\u2019s favorite spirit.<\/p>\n","post_title":"How to Make the Best Old Fashioneds to Celebrate National Bourbon Day","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"how-to-make-the-best-old-fashioneds-to-celebrate-national-bourbon-day-test","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-06-13 16:25:43","post_modified_gmt":"2024-06-13 16:25:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/yellowstonebourbon.com\/?p=545","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw","ancestors":[],"page_template":"","post_category":[4,9],"tags_input":[],"cc_categories":[{"term_id":4,"name":"Lifestyle","slug":"lifestyle","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":4,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":3,"filter":"raw","object_id":545},{"term_id":9,"name":"Recipes","slug":"recipes","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":9,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw","object_id":545}],"cc_tags":[],"thumbnail":" $40,000 donation by Yellowstone Bourbon will support Trans Canada Trail mission of building, maintaining and stewarding the vast urban and rural trail system in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n April 22, 2024<\/strong> \u2013 Today, the Yellowstone Bourbon family of brands announces a major new partnership with Trans Canada Trail, as part of its ongoing commitment to connecting people with parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYellowstone Bourbon has a long history of environmental protection and conservation with its 150-year-old ties to Yellowstone National Park, and we\u2019re proud to make the same commitment on a national scale in Canada with our partners at Trans Canada Trail,\u201d Yellowstone Bourbon Brand Manager Kelly Panzitta said, \u201cTogether, we want to connect people with parks and nature across Canada and inspire them to enjoy the vast trail system by doing the activities they love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of the partnership, Yellowstone Bourbon is making a $40,000CAD contribution to Trans Canada Trail to support its mission to build, maintain and steward the vast urban and rural trail system, which spans more than 28,000 kilometers across land and water \u2013 the longest recreational trail in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \"We\u2019re thankful for the support of Yellowstone Bourbon and this new partnership,\u201d TCT said, \u201cOur mission has always prioritized conservation and protection of Canada\u2019s trail system and Yellowstone\u2019s commitments in Canada and the United States exemplify its own mission to support environmental initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Yellowstone Bourbon partnership with the Trans Canada Trail compliments the brand\u2019s 150-year-old roots in Yellowstone National Park after which it was named, its ongoing commitment to protection and conservation of the outdoors, and its partnership with the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re proud of the heritage we share with America\u2019s first national park and are excited to put our values of preserving parks in action with Canadians across the country,\u201d says Panzitta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 2018, Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, of Limestone Branch Distillery in Lebanon, Kentucky, has donated nearly $750,000USD to NPCA to protect and preserve National Parks in The United States.

This is the latest inspiration from Limestone Branch Distillery Master Distiller Stephen Beam, and it is set to hit retail shelves in March.

The resulting bourbon features a flavorful blend of spice and tropical sweetness; a medium body with notes of toasted marshmallow, cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e and toffee toasted oak; and the finish is highlighted by tobacco, clove, cocoa seasoned oak and honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRum has the sweetest notes of all the casks we\u2019ve used for secondary finishing, and it was an ideal choice for the next adventure in our Special Finishes Collection,\u201d said Beam. \u201cRum is an exceptional compliment to bourbon, and they come together to create subtle notes of sweetness and brown sugar, which are soaked up and stored within the staves and perfectly complement the vanilla, caramel and rye flavors of Yellowstone. Our four-year bourbon is a classic Kentucky bourbon and makes for a fantastic base. This allows me to go in many directions with the finishes while remaining true to or original profile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The packaging for Yellowstone Special Finishes Collection features the brand\u2019s iconic bottle and Roosevelt Arch artwork, as well as a more prominent version of the Yellowstone brand name and a Special Finishes Collection call-out.

Because of this, many innovations and spins have been put on this beloved spirit. The rise of the American single malt is one of the most exciting developments in recent years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This article explains American single malt whiskey, how it's distilled, and what differentiates it from the more well-known whiskeys like bourbon, rye, and Scotch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n American single malt whiskey is made from 100% malted barley and distilled in pot stills. The barley is usually locally sourced, and the whiskey is aged in oak barrels for at least two years. Like Scotch, American single malt whiskey is non-blended, meaning that it is made only from a single distillery's output. However, unlike Scotch, there are currently no formal regulations around the production of American single malt whiskey, meaning that distilleries have a great deal of leeway in making and marketing their product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the key differences between American single malt whiskey and other types of whiskey is its flavor profile. Due in part to the use of pot stills in the distillation process, American single malt whiskey often features sweet, nutty, toasty, biscuit, bread, and toffee-like notes. It has a distinctive taste thanks to processed cereal grains that are used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Though they share some characteristics, American single malt whiskey is different from single malt Scotch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike Bourbon, which must be made with a minimum of 51% corn, American Single Malt Whiskey is made entirely from malted barley. The malted barley is mashed with hot water, releasing the sugars that will help with fermentation. The liquid produced is called \"wort\" and is then fermented with yeast, which converts the sugars into alcohol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The resulting liquid, or \"wash,\" is then distilled in copper pot stills. The filtered liquid is then aged in oak barrels, giving it a unique flavor. The aging process is what really sets American Single Malt Whiskey apart from other Whiskeys. The Whiskey is usually aged for at least three years, with some distilleries aging it up to 10 years. This results in a smoother and more complex flavor profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Compared to bourbon, American Single Malt Whiskey tends to be less sweet and more aromatic. Its flavor profile varies by brand, but it typically has hints of vanilla, fruit, and sometimes even chocolate. Its finish tends to be smoother than Bourbon, with a more prolonged, complex aftertaste. Think orchard fruits, honey, and a gentle smokiness more like a cozy campfire than a roaring bonfire like higher-proof whiskeys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone American Single Malt<\/a> blends tradition with innovation. It tells a story of meticulous aging and a commitment to quality. An exploration in taste, it offers layers of caramel, oak, and a hint of fruitiness, balanced with just the right touch of smoke. It's an American original paying homage to the single malt heritage while carving out its identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone American Single Malt has won multiple awards, including two golds at the 2023 Sip Awards and the 2023 Bartender Spirits Competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Find Yellowstone American Single Malt near you.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n American single malt whiskey is a unique and delicious spirit gaining popularity in the United States. Its rich, complex flavor and artisanal production process make it an exciting addition to the world of premium spirits. Yellowstone offers an authentic and refreshing experience, whether you're a seasoned whiskey enthusiast or are being introduced to the world of single malts for the first time. <\/p>\n","post_title":"What is American Single Malt Whiskey?\u00a0","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"what-is-american-single-malt-whiskey","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-02-15 22:25:08","post_modified_gmt":"2024-02-15 22:25:08","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/yellowstonebourbon.com\/?p=471","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw","ancestors":[],"page_template":"","post_category":[5],"tags_input":[],"cc_categories":[{"term_id":5,"name":"News","slug":"news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":5,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":10,"filter":"raw","object_id":471}],"cc_tags":[],"thumbnail":" You likely already have a few favorite whiskey-based holiday cocktails.

The new ads, which began airing Oct. 1, follow the theme: \u201cAlways keep the park within reach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSince its inception in 1872, Yellowstone Bourbon has shared a connection with America\u2019s first national park, and we\u2019ve sought to highlight that through our brand story,\u201d said Yellowstone Bourbon Brand Manager Kelly Panzitta. \u201cAs we look to the future of the Yellowstone brand, our focus is on leveraging the bond between our bourbon and the park it was named after.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone Bourbon tapped St. Louis-based Rodgers Townsend to create the new spots. The agency most recently worked with the brand to create the \u201cYellowstone \u2013 For All\u201d campaign, of which the current advertising theme is an extension. The new ads illustrate by choosing Yellowstone \u2013 at the bar or at home \u2013 the spirit of the park is never more than a pour away. The series of new ads was designed to appeal to the brand\u2019s loyal customers, as well as to attract its emerging female audience and younger consumers 21 and older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The brand team called on media buying agency Ansira to help Yellowstone Bourbon reach a broader audience for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024. Among the changes, Yellowstone has finalized an ad buy with CBS Sports to appear during NFL broadcasts this fall for the first time ever across several platforms. The spot began airing on Oct. 1 on digital, streaming and linear TV.

In 2011, seventh-generation Master Distiller Steve Beam \u2013 a descendant of both the Dant and Beam distilling families \u2013 founded Lebanon, Kentucky-based Limestone Branch Distillery and resurrected the Yellowstone brand with the creation of Yellowstone Select Bourbon. Since then, Yellowstone has been one of the fastest-growing American Whiskey brands in the industry. Today, the Yellowstone family of brands includes Yellowstone Select, Yellowstone Limited Edition and Yellowstone American Single Malt Whiskey.

LOUIS (July XX, 2023) \u2013 Limestone Branch Distillery Master Distiller Steve Beam announced the 2023 release of Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. This latest bourbon \u2013 featuring a blend of 7-year, 13-year and 16-year aged bourbons finished in Tokaji casks \u2013 was bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV), with a limited allocation of 10,000 3-in cases offered nationwide at a suggested retail price of $99.99 per 750 ml bottle starting this August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As he has done with his limited-edition Yellowstone Bourbon offerings since 2015, Beam hand selected the three aged bourbons, which were then blended and finished in Tokaji casks. Tokaji is a traditional sweet wine from the Tokaji region of Hungary made exclusively from white-wine grapes. Tokaji wines are known as much for their complex, layered flavor profiles as they are for their sweetness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith each year\u2019s Yellowstone Limited Edition offering, I seek a finish that I both personally love and believe will make for a flavorful, well-balanced bourbon. This year, I found the perfect finish in the Tokaji casks sourced from northern Hungary,\u201d said Beam. \u201cConsumers can expect aromas of honey, green grapes and freshly baked cinnamon; a body highlighted by dry spice, followed by caramel, dark cherry, citrus and white pepper; and a finish containing notes of dry tobacco, honeysuckle and smoky oak. Fans of Yellowstone Limited Edition offerings will have a new contender for their favorite!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2023 Yellowstone Limited Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey features custom designed bottles with embossing, a high-end natural cork and label containing the 2023 Yellowstone Limited Edition emblem and a 101-proof callout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About Limestone Branch Distillery<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stephen Beam opened Limestone Branch Distillery in 2011, with the goal of crafting the finest spirits in small batches. Stephen is a seventh-generation distiller with a history of distilling on both sides of his family \u2013 Beam and Dant. In 2015, he brought the Yellowstone brand back to the family. The distillery is now home to Yellowstone Select, Yellowstone American Single Malt Whiskey, Yellowstone Limited Edition, Minor Case Rye Whiskey and Bowling & Burch Gin.

April 24, 2023 \u2013 Today, in recognition of their commitment to national park protection, National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA)<\/a> has named Yellowstone Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey<\/a> the recipient of its third annual National Park Defender award<\/a>. This award, given out each April during National Park Week, recognizes and honors a partner who shows exceptional dedication to national park protection through authentic, impactful partnership with NPCA and educates their customers about the importance of taking action to protect parks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Partnered since 2018, Yellowstone Bourbon has donated nearly $500,000 to NPCA to preserve national parks and inspire the next generation of park advocates; and in 2023, they became NPCA\u2019s largest annual corporate partner.*<\/a> The brand\u2019s connection to national parks stretches back over 150 years \u2013 in 1872, Yellowstone Bourbon was first crafted in the same year Yellowstone National Park was designated America\u2019s first national park. Today, Yellowstone Bourbon continues to commemorate this heritage through their passionate commitment to the protection of public lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYellowstone Bourbon has a shared history with our country\u2019s national parks dating back to 1872, when our family named the bourbon after the very first national park,\u201d said Limestone Branch Distillery Master Distiller and Founder Stephen Beam. \u201cI am proud of our continued partnership with the National Parks Conservation Association and its ongoing efforts to keep our parks wild and wonderful. We are doing our part to help educate consumers about the importance of conservation and keeping our parks protected, preserved and accessible for future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellowstone Bourbon has partnered with NPCA on numerous campaigns to educate and inspire customers to take action on behalf of parks, in addition to their efforts to directly support public lands in immediate need. In 2022, Yellowstone Bourbon responded within days of floods that devastated Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area resulting in nearly $100,000 raised for the Southwest Montana Relief Fund and the Red Lodge Area Community Foundation in conjunction with a fundraising event hosted by NPCA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This week, Yellowstone Bourbon released a special edition NPCA collector\u2019s label<\/a> on bottles of Yellowstone Select Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The bottles feature an illustration of the bears from NPCA\u2019s logo as well as a ribbon in NPCA\u2019s iconic green. Additionally, each bottle includes a QR code that directs to a landing page<\/a> where customers can learn how Yellowstone Bourbon and NPCA work together to protect public lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cProtecting our national parks is a collective effort that succeeds when the movement is as inclusive as the parks themselves,\u201d said Theresa Pierno, President and CEO of National Parks Conservation Association. \u201cBusinesses grounded in values, and who put those values into action, are a critical part of ensuring our national parks thrive now, and for generations from now. Based on our five years of partnership together, it\u2019s clear that Yellowstone Bourbon is one of those committed companies. We\u2019re proud to name them this year\u2019s recipient of NPCA\u2019s National Park Defender award for their ardent efforts to educate and empower national park advocates and their dedication to working with NPCA to preserve our public lands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about NPCA\u2019s annual National Park Defender award, please visit here<\/a>.

Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection law. The bourbon was specifically created to honor the park\u2019s beautiful landscapes, vast wilderness, and the pioneering spirit of those who first explored its interior. We like to think those hardy individuals would have loved sitting back with a glass of Yellowstone Select Bourbon while spinning yarns about their escapades across the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, now, Yellowstone National Park is a little more visitor-friendly than it was back in the 1870s \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t mean that a glass of Yellowstone Select Bourbon won\u2019t still pair perfectly with a visit to the park (though be sure to do so safely; save that cocktail for when you\u2019re back at the lodge or ranch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re heading to Yellowstone National Park this summer, here\u2019s what you need to know and how to experience the rugged, historical aspects of this great spot on the map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See the Top Sights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s no secret that Yellowstone can get crowded, and it\u2019s no wonder why. If you\u2019ve never visited Yellowstone National Park before, you\u2019ll want to see the same sights that draw in millions of tourists annually. The top spots within the park include Old Faithful, the Grand Prismatic Spring, and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. All these will deliver breathtaking views you won\u2019t find anywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These spots are great, and you should 100% check them out. However, everyone knows about these, and you can find information about them just about anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, let\u2019s discuss some other places worth exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lesser-Known Areas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To get in some quieter views, visit some of the less-crowded spots in the park if you\u2019ve got the time. With 2 million acres, the park does have them, despite what you might think when you first visit Old Faithful. You may have to strap on your hiking boots and channel your inner sense of adventure to reach them, but the effort will be well worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try a hike out to Shoshone Geyser Basin. Or, go wildlife watching in the remote Lamar Valley, sometimes called the Serengeti of North America; keep your eyes peeled for bison, elk, bear, wolves, and other animals that call the park home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you pack your swimsuit? Then take a dip in Boiling River, one of the few places where you can legally swim in the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a Professional Park Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The official nonprofit partner of Yellowstone National Park, Yellowstone Forever<\/a>, offers a range of programming to experience the park beyond what you can plan on your own. The organization\u2019s private tours cover everything you need \u2014 delicious breakfast and lunch in the field, transportation services, equipment like high-powered scopes and binoculars, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your private tour is planned around what you want to experience most during your visit, whether that be wildlife watching and photography, backcountry hiking, or any other adventure the park offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay Longer or Come Back Soon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t just stop by the park for a single day and then go on your way. Spending a night (or a few!) in the park will allow you to enjoy the park\u2019s attractions more leisurely. You can\u2019t beat a stay at the Old Faithful Inn<\/a>, built in the early 1900s and one of the largest log structures in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can\u2019t stay, come back and explore more of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Can\u2019t Get Away?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There are still ways for you to support our national park system from afar \u2014 like when you add the Yellowstone family of spirits<\/a> to your bar cart. Yellowstone Bourbon is a proud supporter of and one of the largest annual corporate donors to the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), which independently works to strengthen and protect our park systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year alone, we\u2019ve donated $250,000 to the NPCA to aid in the organization\u2019s tireless work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re actively planning your exploratory excursion to Yellowstone National Park this season or have added it to your travel bucket list, when you sip a glass of Yellowstone Select Bourbon, it\u2019s almost as good as being there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find Yellowstone Bourbon near you<\/a>, or visit Limestone Branch Distillery for a tour<\/a>!<\/p>\n","post_title":"Visiting Yellowstone National Park During the Summer?

There are many ways to enjoy a night in the great outdoors, from a one-night sleep-out to serious backpacking to glamping in luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some essentials are in order if you\u2019re heading out for your first such trip. Let\u2019s assume there are at least two of you. You\u2019re not looking to tackle sub-zero temperatures in your opening venture, and while not quite willing to break the bank, you want some good and dependable new gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tenting Tonight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since you\u2019re turning the outdoors into your home, what about the house? There are only about a trillion kinds of tents to choose from, but we\u2019d suggest the Coleman Sundome Dark Room tent for a reliable and reasonably-priced starter. It's easy to set up and good by day, too, for blocking the sun's heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Bedroom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Your highest budget item should probably be for your sleeping bag because, well, sleep\u2014and warmth if it does get a little colder than you\u2019d expected. The Kelty Cosmic Down 20<\/a> will keep you toasty and rested at under $200. Add a NEMO Switchback Sleeping Pad<\/a> for comfort, and think seriously about a Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow<\/a> for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let There Be Light<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Compact and under $30, the Ultimate Survival Technologies Spright Solar USB LED Lantern should keep things bright around the campsite. But we\u2019re also partial to the lighted gloves, in various styles, from Mangata<\/a>. While created with runners in mind, the gloves are great for directing light to whatever camping task is, well, at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Larder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you\u2019ll be a regular before investing in a good camp stove. But start with a Biolite Kettlepot<\/a>, which will serve for meals or coffee and will work well when you think about upgrading with Biolite\u2019s stove or portable grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Goes Without Saying<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The more you camp, the more you learn about what is essential for your next trip. But be sure to pack some matches (or wind-resistant cigar lighters), toiletries, and some rudimentary first-aid items. The Houmass 29-in-1 Tool Bracelet<\/a> is an easy way to tote around some basic tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a Seat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It may not be essential, but a good camp chair will also serve you well at your next music and bourbon festival.

President Ulysses S. Grant established the first (and therefore oldest) national park in March 1872, the same year<\/a> Yellowstone Bourbon was created to honor the park. Located mainly in Wyoming, the 3,500 square miles of Yellowstone spill into Montana and Idaho, and millions of people visit the park each year to see such popular attractions as the Old Faithful geyser. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
