I’m a gear geek. I love using well designed tools and equipment to help me enjoy and occasionally survive the things I do for fun (up to Type 2 fun).
You’ll see a mix of kit, from fast and light alpine mountaineering to military kit and a lot in between. It should be surprising to see how often the best kit applies to lots of different activities.
When trying to track down a more elegant or better value bit of kit, I’ve become more and more frustrated with online reviews. Because I’ve ended up with a good amount of my own kit, I thought I might as well see for myself how difficult it is to write good reviews and so with that challenge ahead, here’s my gear review blog.
