Gear Reviews: Outdoor Gear I’ve Used and Recommend

Everything on this page has been tested—on trips, on the trail, or in everyday life, whether I’m camping in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, biking in Arkansas, or getting outside close to home. I look for well-made products built with purpose. My decisions aren’t based on what’s cheapest or trendiest—they’re rooted in craftsmanship and brand story. I’m reviewing it because I use it. That’s the only reason it’s here.
