You know that friend who always has the best intel on all the new gear? Or that friend who can plan, outfit, and execute a backcountry adventure in the blink of an eye? If you have friends like that, you're lucky. Make sure to keep them happy. Buy them a half-rack of their favorite beer at regular intervals. Call to check on their kids. Be good back.
Maybe you don't want to over-ask for logistical advice or you do your trip and gear research in the wee hours when texting is bad manners. Then, yep, we are here for you. And if you haven't made those friends yet, we are especially here for you.
We are a collective of guides and outdoor enthusiasts—adventure addicts, worshippers of the wild. We're not gear junkies as much as we are the habitual users of gear. We're not wayward souls in search of the next great adventure as much as we are lifelong practitioners of the arts of (check all that apply):
- Sailing
- Fishing
- Surfing
- Kitesurfing
- Kayaking
- Climbing
- Hiking
- Mountain Biking
We are experts in what works and what doesn't. We don't have time for nonsense. We have filed away many mishaps and uh-ohs so you don't have to. We're in the field and we always have the duct tape, the carabiner, the right fly, an extra pair of gloves, the extra water, and that thingamagig that you never knew you'd need but—no joke—it was a trip saver and you can't even remember its name. We know its name and we'll have it for you next time. We know where to cast your flies, where the best powder stashes are, and where to grab the juciest burgers and coldest beers in your favorite mountain or surf towns so you can swap stories in style.
We have done the recon so that you don't have to. We have the stoke and we're excited to share it with you.
