• Arcteryx - these guys make the best clothing and outerwear!
• Inov-8 shoes - I wear Roclite GTX for hiking, thin, lightweight minimalism while still protecting your feet.
• Autohome Roof Top Tents - we have the Maggiolina and love it. Camping can’t get much better. Imagine camping but sleeping in your own bed - it is pretty close to that!
• Spot personal locator - well worth the money for your family’s peace of mind.
• Jet Boil - nice to throw in your bag for hot water on the spot in the middle of nowhere.
• LED Lenser Flashlight - if you don’t have one, get one. These things are tiny but amazingly bright!
