So, I have a room full of shelves floor to ceiling of equipment for every eventuality, no matter what I’m doing- winter camping at -20c, summer camping in the baking Australian outback, climbing, kayaking, skiing on piste or off piste touring, the list is endless of hobbies and equipment for any occasion. I’m a big fan of both solid equipment to last a life time and light weight kit for speedy treks. As a result I don’t have a solid preference on a lot of things, but will dispense the little knowledge I have of what kit is appropriate where on this page and some of what i use.
