Hiking Gear & Outdoor Technology

My gear review policy is pretty simple. I review the gear I intend to use myself, so everything that you see here is something I've used at one point in my hiking adventures. If you want to see the latest and greatest I'm using, check out my latest gear page. I'll generally get all my gear at REI because the prices are competitive, the service is excellent, and they give back to the outdoors.
