The Gear Garage
When talking with fellow outdoor enthusiasts, the question we hear most often is, “So, what are the good bits of kit you actually take with you?” The Gear Garage holds our answers. We look past the obvious, well known gear to share with you the little known gems, all fully tested in the field during our adventures. The intent is to fill this part of our website with all the things we wish we knew about our outdoor gear before we parted with our hard-earned cash. Hopefully making your next adventure as safe and comfortable as possible.
