I’m sure you’ve picked up on the fact that I really like to leave places cleaner than I found them. We typically stay on public land where camping is free, I see “Leaving it Cleaner Than We Found it” as paying these places back for our stay.

We love a good collaboration. When great minds come together with one goal it's a golden opportunity for something new and innovative to be born. Our friends over at Hoka One One, Cotopaxi and REI have done just that.

It feels only fitting that we should be environmentally minded when we’re shopping for gear needed for going out into nature for recreation!

I’ve found gift guides to be really helpful in discovering new things that I otherwise might not know about, so I figured… Being one that loves gear, does research on these things for fun, and loves sharing the things that genuinely make a difference in our lives… I should make a holiday gift guide! So here goes nothing!
