Outdoor Gear

I'm in the woods a lot for various purposes. Sometimes I like to wander, looking for a nice spot, sometimes I hike for exercise, and sometimes I"m bushwhacking through a swamp with Search and Rescue. This is a growing list of all the gear and tools I use, (or would use if I could afford it all.) Some of the links here are affiliate links, which means your purchase will support my work without costing you anything extra. I only endorse products I have used myself or have a trusted recommendation from fellow outdoorsy comrades.
